Carbon Costume

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.
