When Lady Gaga joined Bad Bunny onstage during the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show, it wasn’t just about music — it was a nod to his Puerto Rican roots. Gaga sang “Die With a Smile” in a powder-blue pleated dress by Brooklyn-based Dominican-American designer Raul López of Luar, her first public collaboration with the label.
Over her heart, she pinned a custom Piers Atkinson brooch featuring Puerto Rico’s Flor de Maga, signalling solidarity and respect. The rest of the look balanced drama and precision: ankle-strap heels in matching blue, glossy nails, a bold lip, platinum waves, and bleached brows framed the tribute without overwhelming it.
The halftime stage was packed with surprise appearances — Cardi B, Pedro Pascal, Karol G, and Jessica Alba all made brief cameos — but Gaga’s outfit carried a clear cultural message. “For the culture and for all immigrants — this is how we come together,” López wrote on Instagram.
Gaga is no stranger to the Super Bowl spotlight; she headlined in 2017 in theatrical Atelier Versace ensembles, performing a medley from “Poker Face” to “Bad Romance.” This time, her look was quieter, intentional, and in perfect harmony with Bad Bunny’s celebration of Puerto Rico.
