During Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX halftime show, Samuel L. Jackson made an appearance dressed up as Uncle Sam. Clad in red, white, and blue stars and stripes, he emceed the performance, mostly by complaining it was “too loud, too reckless, too ghetto”. His Uncle Sam was both a wink at the conservative-leaning audience of the NFL, and a nod to Jackson’s role as an Uncle Tom character in Django Unchained.

For his halftime performance at Super Bowl LIX emceed by Samuel L. Jackson, Kendrick Lamar sported an unforgettable outfit. His Martine Rose custom-designed jacket read “Gloria” across the front and pgLang, his creative agency, across the back. His black cap was adorned with a Rahaminov Diamonds Angel Wing brooch. He also wore an iced-out lowercase ‘a’ around his neck, courtesy of jeweler Eliantte, a nod to his infamous “a minor” line in Not Like Us. Most striking of all, however, was that KDot successfully brought back the flared jeans look. You’ll most likely have to substitute his $1,200 denim from French fashion house Celine for a more attainable pair to replicate his look.

Goro Akechi (voiced in Japanese by Sōichirō Hoshi, and in English by Robbie Daymond) is a major character in the Persona 5 game franchise. If you would like to see how to put together his regular outfit, please check out this article here.

He is one of the main antagonists, though in Royal he ends up forming an unwilling sort of truce with Akira. These are the two outfits that he wears for the third semester, specifically in Royal, after the main story of base game P5 comes to a close.

One small detail about third sem is that his hair seems a bit longer and a bit messier, though still the same shaggy brown, and his brown eyes seem much more dull. For the first outfit, he wears a midtoned brown winter coat, over top of a white button down shirt and a black and green plaid vest. The look is finished off with a pair of dark jeans, black loafers, and black gloves. His second outfit is a little harder to see, as he only has the coat visible, but it’s a tan colored double breasted peacoat, worn over a pair of black slacks, and he’s wearing the same black shoes and gloves. Similar to Akira, he is also wearing a scarf, but his is more of a designer style, in reds, greys, and greens, with gold accenting.

In the 2025 slasher Heart Eyes, the Heart Eyes Killer is a serial killer who targets romantic couples around every Valentine’s Day. This horror movie from the producers of Scream uses the same blend of horror and comedy, and slots in nicely with other holiday-themed horror movies like Christmas’s Krampus and Thanksgiving’s John Carver. The Heart Eyes Killer’s look is standard slasher fare (dark work jacket, work boots, leather gloves), but with the added twist of a stitched tan leather mask with light-up heart-shaped eyes. To go the extra mile with your own costume, install some red LED lights behind the glasses.

Akira/Ren (voiced in Japanese by Jun Fukuyama and in English by Xander Mobus) is the main protagonist is the Persona 5 video game franchise.

During the events of Persona 5 Royal, the end of the game takes place around and after Christmas, so the outfits he wears both outside of school and as part of his uniform are a lot more bundled up.

His hair remains the same fluffy black it always is, and his eyes are still grey, with false glasses worn over top. For his uniform, it’s still the same base Shujin outfit, with the same white shirt, black blazer with red detailings and white crest, plaid slacks, and black dress shoes. The new changes are a long black thick winter coat in the same color scheme as his school blazer, and a vibrant blue scarf. His casual wear is comprised of a black turtleneck sweater, jeans, brown loafers, and a long grey collared winter coat, much in the same style as his school one.
