As Bad Bunny gears up for his headlining slot at this year’s Super Bowl halftime show, many are wondering what the Puerto Rican superstar will wear on stage.
About two weeks ahead of Super Bowl LX — set for Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California — rumors circulated online that the 31-year-old “DtMF” hitmaker could be sporting a dress during his highly anticipated performance.
It wouldn’t be a surprise. Known for his bold and confident fashion choices, Bad Bunny has previously donned dress-like outfits on numerous occasions, including a pink dress for a Jacquemus campaign in 2022.
“My style influences what my music is and everything that surrounds me within it,” he told Billboard in 2019. “The way you dress is, to say the least, a type of art. Everyone must dress, and use their creativity, express themselves in that way, their feelings, their way of thinking. Everyone must be free in that area and let the mind flow.”
But as the rumors swirled ahead of the 2026 Super Bowl, production sources told TMZ that Bad Bunny will not be wearing a dress during his halftime performance. Billboard has reached out to Bad Bunny’s representatives for further comment.
Still, the idea of Bunny flaunting a dress could have added even more controversy to the Latin star’s already highly discussed selection for the halftime show. He addressed some of the criticism during the opening monologue of Saturday Night Live’s season 51 premiere in October 2025.
“You might not know this, but I’m doing the Super Bowl halftime show and I’m very happy,” he told viewers. “I think everyone is happy about it — even Fox News.”
The segment cut to a satirical montage of Fox News clips, edited to make it appear as though the hosts were praising the artist and declaring, “Bad Bunny is my favorite musician, and he should be the next president.”
“I’m really excited to be doing the Super Bowl. I know that people all around the world who love my music are also happy,” he continued, before switching to Spanish to speak directly to his community.
“Especially all of the Latinos and Latinas in the world here in the United States who have worked to open doors,” he said. “It’s more than a win for myself, it’s a win for all of us. Our footprints and our contribution in this country, no one will ever be able to take that away or erase it.”
Bunny closed the monologue with a playful note in English, saying, “And, if you didn’t understand know what I just said, you have four months to learn!”
During a recent interview in the Oval Office, U.S. President Donald Trump also weighed in on the Super Bowl 2026 musical lineup, which includes Green Day performing at the opening ceremony.
“I’m anti-them. I think it’s a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible,” Trump said, according to a report from the New York Post.
