He completed the ensemble with black “Signature Stripe” central trim socks. Batiste wore black patent leather shoes with the look as well. For an added touch of bling to his attire, Batiste wore shimmering brooches on the lapel of his blazer.
Batiste’s Super Bowl LIX National Anthem performance ensemble was curated by stylist Jason Rembert. Rembert has worked with several A-list figures throughout awards season thus far, including “The Brutalist” Oscar nominee Adrien Brody.
Paul Smith recently unveiled his eponymous label’s men’s fall 2025 collection during Paris Fashion Week last January. “Smith sent out a stylish lineup of leather jackets and long coats in heritage fabrics that had been tossed in a tumble dryer for a ‘dry, scruffy, vintage’ feel,” Samantha Conti wrote in WWD’s review of the collection.
“He added skinny V-neck knits to the mix, too, a throwback to the days when he couldn’t afford to make them himself, and instead bought school uniform sweaters. He paired the V-necks with wide trousers, imagining how his photographer friends might have mixed it up.”
