Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show had everyone talking—and not just about his controversial, blistering performance of the Grammy-winning diss track Not Like Us, that mischievous grin as he called out Drake, or the fact that he got a stadium full of sports fans to belt out the lyric “A Minor” (with the President of the United States watching from the stands). Nope. The real showstopper—and the thing I personally couldn’t stop staring at? His jeans.
Flared and impossibly cool, Lamar’s now-sold-out Celine bootcut jeans weren’t just a nod to early 2000s fashion—they were a full-blown declaration. Love them or hate them, those jeans had women everywhere scrambling to figure out if flares are officially back. Spoiler: they just might be. And for the men wondering if they can pull them off too? The answer is a resounding yes.
