Britney Spears x Balenciaga: An Exciting Collab Where Pop Meets Fashion

The Queen of Pop, Britney Spears, has been in the headlines recently for her latest collaboration with Balenciaga, taking on a modern twist on nostalgia. The brand’s 2026 Spring Collection includes 12-piece ready-to-wear pieces, including T-shirts, zip-up hoodies, and silk twill flags featuring the pop star’s archival images by Rankin and Steven Klein, along with her autographs. But what makes the collab even more exciting is a playlist curated by Britney Spears herself, taking you on a nostalgic ride of pop culture with a skilled selection of tracks. The collection also includes remixes of the singer’s two iconic hits, ‘Gimme More’ and ‘Oops! … I Did It Again,’ which have been revamped into electro anthems by French composer BFRND.
