During the Super Bowl LV Halftime Show, The Weknd wore a fully hand-embroidered jacket
with crystals, realized by the Givenchy Haute Couture atelier in Paris.
A feat of savoir-faire, it required four embroiderers and more than 250 hours to complete. This
jacket was worn over a black cotton poplin shirt and wool trousers accessorized with black
leather tie, and gloves, as well as black and white derbies.
While made especially for this performance, The Weeknd’s outfit reflects the sharp tailoring,
minimalism and intense contrast Mr. Williams brought to his debut collection
for the House of Givenchy.
“It’s truly an honor to have dressed The Weeknd for his incredible Super Bowl show,”
said Matthew M. Williams.
“To me, fashion is all about infusing what you wear with a unique personality, and The Weeknd
brought his look to life with his energy, character and sense of style.”
The Weeknd’s cinematic Super Bowl LV performance was followed by an estimated audience of
more than 100 million viewers who tuned in to watch the NFL championship game between the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.
