Lady Gaga got the fashion memo better than Bad Bunny at his own show
India Today
Bad Bunny surely owned the Super Bowl stage, but it was Lady Gaga who made a stronger sartorial statement.
It was not just a show. Grammy-winning artist Bad Bunny turned his Super Bowl performance into an extravagant celebration, a love letter to his native Puerto Rico.
He transformed the stadium into a vibrant street party and made history as the first halftime headliner to perform entirely in Spanish. The stage resembled a sugarcane field and even featured a traditional piragua cart selling treats.
A couple even got married on the stage as he performed “Tit Me Pregunto.” In the list of many noteworthy moments was also Lady Gaga’s cameo performance, where she delivered a striking rendition of “Die With A Smile.” But beyond the music, it was Gaga who arguably understood the fashion brief better than Bad Bunny at his own show.
Bad Bunny wore a custom cream-coloured Zara ensemble, a Spanish brand, possibly as a nod to his roots. In a high-low styling crossover, he teamed the Zara look with a swanky Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding on his wrist (a piece that retails for approximately Rs 70 lakh).
But that is not the point. With access to the world’s biggest couture houses, his decision to wear a fast-fashion label on one of the world’s biggest stage felt more like a fashion fumble. The Internet too discussed it widely.
Fast fashion remains one of the industry’s biggest environmental concerns, making the choice feel at odds with the cultural and artistic weight of the performance. That said, Bad Bunny has repeatedly shown he understands the power of fashion as a tool for meaningful expression. At the Met Gala 2025, he put Puerto Rican culture centre stage in a brown Prada suit, paired with a custom pava - a wide-brimmed straw hat traditionally worn by Puerto Rican jbaros (rural farmers).
Short kurtas paired with loose pants and dupattas were a big trend in the 2000s Bollywood, and now, they seem to be catching on in the West too.
