Kendrick Lamar's flared jeans stole the show at Super Bowl LIX

Super Bowl LIX took place on Sunday, 9 February, at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Kansas City Chiefs took on the Philadelphia Eagles in front of a star-studded crowd.

Taylor Swift, Ice Spice, Anne Hathaway, Bradley Cooper, Kevin Costner, Miles Teller and Pete Davidson were all in attendance to see the Philadelphia Eagles win their first Super Bowl in seven years, ending Kansas City's dominance of the Lombardi Trophy. Read more here.

As well as the epic highs and lows of American football, the night saw an incredible half-time show performed by Kendrick Lamar with celebrity cameos including award-winning actor Samuel L Jackson and tennis super star Serena Williams.

Singer-songwriter Sza was also on hand to perform at the Superdome to perform hit songs including All The Stars. Watch the half-time show here.

37-year-old Lamar has been lauded for the performance, but his bootcut jeans may have stolen the show.

Kendrick has boot cut jeans, a 5'5 frame, and a hater mentality and I respect that

Designed by Hedi Slimane, who launched the skinny jeans in the late 90's at YSL and Dior Homme, the jeans first appeared in Celine's Spring/Summer 2020 collection.

Take note of Kendrick Lamar's jeans. That is the perfect Jean and the perfect amount of flare for a guy. Make this more a thing. I want to see this more often. I think they look great and it’s masculine

Styled by Taylor McNeill, the rapper wore the blue Celine jeans with a custom Martine Rose varsity jacket that spelled 'Gloria' across the front.

According to British Vogue writer Christian Allaire, 'Gloria' is the closing track on Kendrick's 2004 album, GNX, a name that supposedly serves as "a metaphor for Lamar's pen game".

Allaire also points out that the rapper's Tiffany's chain necklace featured a lowercase "a" pendant on it - a likely nod to the famous 'A Minor' lyric in Not Like Us.

Elsewhere on the stage, SZA stunned in a custom red leather jacket by Born X Raised. Styled by Alejandra LaPilusa, the jacket had a white 'Lana' logo (the name of her album) on the front, and 'Crybaby' (the name of one of her songs) on the back.

Her matching red trousers are from Ashton Michael pants and her custom knit top was designed by Kate Broadrick. In fact, all the pieces Sza wore were made in LA, a touching tribute given the recent wildfires that the city has suffered.

"Every single thing on Sza and the dancers was made in Los Angeles, and although there were so many beautiful options made that were amazing contenders, the stars aligned for the city that made me," the stylist told her Instagram followers.

Her custom leather and fur belt were made by Luis Cendejas, while her custom diamond 'Lana' necklace was created by Lana Jewelry, and her red diamond rings by Etho Maria. She even had a pair of custom red Converse to complete the look.

Sza's back up dancers were dressed in custom Year Of Ours football bras and leggings, worn under custom Born X Raised workwear sets.

Serena Williams danced in a blue Nike set, while Samuel L. Jackson (dressed as Uncle Sam) wore red, white and blue Bode.
