Kendrick Lamar took center stage at the Caesars Superdome during the Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show on Sunday in New Orleans. The Grammy Award-winning rapper performed a string of his biggest hits, with special appearances by Sza and Serena Williams.
Lamar opted for a look courtesy of Martine Rose. The rapper styled blue jeans with a bootcut and a bulky jacket in blue and white with several patches on the sleeves. The jacket featured “Gloria” written along the front, nodding to Lamar’s 2024 “GNX” album. “Gloria” is the closing track on his album and talks about Lamar’s internal struggles.
He also wore a backwards turned cap with the Rahaminov Diamonds Angel Wing brooch. As for his footwear, Lamar opted for a pair of Nike Air DT Max ’96, which featured a prominent black and white colorway for added definition.
