Will Bad Bunny Don a Dress for the Super Bowl Halftime Show? Setting the Record Straight
As the global spotlight intensifies on Bad Bunny ahead of his headlining performance at the Super Bowl halftime show, fans and fashion critics alike are speculating about the Puerto Rican icon’s wardrobe strategy for the massive event.
With Super Bowl LX slated for February 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, digital platforms have been buzzing with rumors suggesting the 31-year-old “DtMF” singer might take the stage in a dress. Such a choice would align with the artist’s history of challenging traditional gender norms through high-fashion aesthetics.
Bad Bunny has frequently embraced gender-fluid attire, most notably during a viral 2022 Jacquemus campaign where he modeled a vibrant pink dress. For the superstar, clothing is more than just fabric—it is a vital component of his creative identity.
Reflecting on his approach to personal style, he previously told Billboard, “My fashion sense is deeply intertwined with my music and my world. To me, dressing is a form of artistry. It allows for creative expression, reflecting one’s thoughts and emotional state. Everyone should have the liberty to let their mind flow and express themselves freely in that space.”
Addressing the Speculation
While the rumor mill has been working overtime leading up to the 2026 show, industry insiders have recently tempered expectations. Production sources informed TMZ that Bad Bunny does not intend to wear a dress during the halftime spectacle. While official representatives have yet to issue a formal statement, the artist’s wardrobe remains a closely guarded secret.
The conversation surrounding his attire only adds to the discourse already surrounding his selection for the event. Bad Bunny addressed his detractors with a touch of irony during his Saturday Night Live monologue in late 2025. “I know I’m performing the Super Bowl halftime show and I’m genuinely happy,” he told the audience. “It seems everyone is on board—even the commentators at Fox News.”
During the segment, he transitioned into Spanish to deliver a heartfelt message to his core audience. “This achievement belongs to every Latino and Latina in the United States who has fought to create opportunities,” he stated. “This is a collective triumph. Our impact and our presence in this nation are indelible; they can never be diminished or forgotten.”
He concluded his monologue with a playful challenge to non-Spanish speakers: “If you didn’t catch that, you have a few months to start learning!”
Political Commentary
The 2026 musical lineup, which also includes a performance by Green Day at the opening festivities, has drawn attention from high-profile figures. In a recent interview, President Donald Trump voiced his opposition to the talent roster. According to the New York Post, Trump criticized the choices, labeling the selection as “terrible” and suggesting it contributes to social friction.
