The Super Bowl halftime show always promises an array of show-stopping looks, and this year’s performance was no exception: Mary J. Blige showed out in a sequined set; Snoop Dogg decked himself out in paisley; Dr. Dre kept it simple in a leather bomber; 50 Cent channeled his “In Da Club” music video in a white tank and matching sweatband; and Eminem debuted a pair of Air Jordan 3s bearing a “Slim Shady” name tag. Fellow performer Kendrick Lamar may have had the most powerful fit of the night, however, donning a custom Louis Vuitton look from Virgil Abloh’s final Fall 2022 menswear collection.
For his heartfelt tribute, Lamar paired a black wool double-breasted suit — complete with diamond necklaces, earrings, and jewelry buttons from Tiffany and Co. — with a silk shirt, both pieces which debuted last month in Paris. The blazer boasted Abloh’s signature power shoulders, a feature the designer explored more in his final few shows at Louis Vuitton, as matching tailored trousers split at the ankle to create a gentle flare.
