As Bad Bunny prepares to make history as the first Latin artist to headline the Super Bowl halftime show on 8 February, his sartorial choices have consistently proved as captivating as his music. The Puerto Rican star, 31, has cultivated a striking wardrobe since his 2018 debut album, X 100pre, gracing red carpets and stages with unapologetically bold ensembles that have only grown more refined over time.
In 2018, his appearance at the Billboard Latin Music Awards offered an early glimpse into his theatrical approach to fashion. A metallic purple brocade suit, featuring wide lapels, flared trousers, and tinted sunglasses, channelled a psychedelic Seventies glamour. The following year, at the same awards, he reimagined traditional tailoring by pairing a pastel lavender two-piece with neon green hair, visor sunglasses, and trainers.
By the 2023 Met Gala, Bad Bunny had firmly established himself as a significant fashion presence. Adhering to the 'Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty' theme, he wore a backless white Jacquemus suit distinguished by an enormous sculptural floral train. In 2024, his global tour saw him frequently performing in saturated leather two-pieces, such as a burgundy ensemble styled with a slouchy beanie and Adidas trainers.
Later in 2024, Bad Bunny returned to the Met Gala in a memorable Maison Margiela Artisanal creation by John Galliano, comprising a black satin corset, a navy barathea wool smoking jacket, and a unique reverse-swatched hat made of blue foam. He carried a symbolic floral bouquet containing Flor de Maga, roses, and flax, telling a cinematic story that showcased his range beyond maximalist romance.
Not all his fashion moments are grand statements. During New York’s autumn/winter fashion week in 2025, he attended the Calvin Klein show in a notably pared-back outfit: an oversized black suit layered over a plain white T-shirt, finished with sleek black leather boots and a casual baseball cap. For the Happy Gilmore 2 premiere, he delivered one of his most subversive looks, swapping trousers for knee-length patterned shorts paired with a sharp double-breasted plaid blazer, white sports socks, and black ballet flats.
