There is no doubt that Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance was historic. The singer brought all the Latin flavor to Levi’s Stadium with a spectacle that included his biggest hits, references to Latin culture, and a truly unforgettable look. However, what would a Halftime Show be without major guests joining the headlining artist onstage?

This year, there were plenty of guesses about who might accompany Bad Bunny during such a huge moment, and the result was more surprising than anyone expected.

The details of Lady Gaga’s look at the Super Bowl

The singer, who recently won the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album, performed her hit “Die with a Smile” in a salsa version onstage. It is no secret that Gaga and Bad Bunny share a close connection, as it has often been said that Lady Gaga is one of the artists Bad Bunny admires most.

In fact, during the Grammy Awards ceremony, the two were seen interacting several times. Gaga appeared deeply emotional as she watched him receive the night’s top honor, confirming that the admiration is mutual.

Her appearance on the Super Bowl stage did not go unnoticed, as the singer dazzled in a spectacular outfit, as she always does. Although she is known for choosing gothic, dark, and dramatic looks, this time she made a complete shift toward something that better represented the Latin culture celebrated throughout Bad Bunny’s show.

Gaga opted for baby blue on stage.

Bad Bunny brought Ricky Martin onstage to perform “Lo que le pasó a Hawaii” in front of thousands of people inside the stadium. But the true surprise of the night was seeing none other than Lady Gaga singing alongside Bad Bunny.

And the look she wore left everyone speechless.

The singer shined in a long baby blue gown, crafted in layers to evoke the feeling of a ballroom dress made for dancing salsa. The piece included a red flower on the shoulder, perfectly matching her heels in the same shade.

This is how Lady Gaga's dress was made.

The custom design was created by LUAR, a fashion house that quickly shared details of the dress’s craftsmanship on social media.

Gaga’s decision to wear a brand like LUAR was especially meaningful, since the label, a strong presence at fashion weeks such as New York, was founded by Raúl López and inspired by Dominican culture.

Part of López’s philosophy is that fashion should be accessible and attainable for everyone, with the goal of including those who are too often unseen.
