Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime performance was nothing short of legendary, but one unexpected detail stole the show—his light-wash bootcut jeans. While the rapper delivered a history-making set, fans on social media became obsessed with his Y2K-era denim, turning it into a viral moment.
Lamar, who rocked Celine flared jeans, a custom Martine Rose varsity jacket, a $68,000 Rahaminov brooch, and Nike Air DT Max '96s, was widely praised for his style. However, it was the jeans that took center stage.

One fan joked about Drake's feelings after getting dissed by "a tiny man in flared jeans" — Lamar stands at 5'5" — while others debated whether the rapper was officially making flared jeans a mens' fashion staple .
I think him wearing those jeans was him doubling down on his villainy. Like I would be so pissed if my opp did all that successfully and he was wearing bootcuts too. Like he managed to be cool whilst wearing bootcuts. Don't piss me off

Take note of Kendrick Lamar’s jeans. That is the perfect Jean and the perfect amount of flare for a guy. Make this more a thing. I want to see this more often. I think they look great and it’s masculine

Styled by Taylor McNeill, the look followed Lamar’s recent Canadian tuxedo moment at the Grammys, where he won five awards for “Not Like Us.” His Super Bowl outfit further cemented his influence on both music and fashion trends.
