Kendrick Lamar's Flare Jeans at Super Bowl 2025 Score Hilarious Reactions from Julia Fox and the Internet at Large: See the Best

Kendrick Lamar caused quite a stir with his outfit at the 2025 Super Bowl.

On Sunday, Feb. 9, the rapper, 37, headlined the Halftime Show at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, where the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs. In addition to his choice to perform the controversial Drake diss track "Not Like Us," the Grammy winner's stage look sparked a spirited discourse online.

Lamar opted for a custom Martine Rose jacket that read "Gloria" across the front in capital letters, a nod to his song "Gloria," which is a track on his album GNX (and a duet with SZA, who joined the rapper onstage). He accessorized with a backward hat and sneakers as well as a diamond Rahaminov brooch worth $68,000 on his hat and a massive "a" chain, among other jewels.

The real kicker of the ensemble, however, was his pants, a pair of Celine jeans in a flared style that evoked the early 2000s pants trend — for better or worse.

"Kendrick's cute little flared jeans were really killing me the whole time," a third wrote.

A fourth shared, "I’ve sifted through enough racks of Mudd at Kohls to know these are FLARES, not bootcut."

It's no secret that an early 2000s fashion resurgence is well underway.

Hilton, 43, shared that she still has many items from her aughts wardrobe, including her 21st-birthday dress. "Which is iconic," the star said.

"I have the Von Dutch hat that I was wearing in Arkansas," she continued. "The Dior monogram pieces, Louis Vuitton, all of that. It was so out there and so extra. It was the most fun time in fashion."
