The Weeknd conquers the Super Bowl in a Givenchy suit

During the performance, The Weeknd wore a Matthew Williams-designed and hand-tailored suit.

The Weeknd was the star of yesterday’s Superbowl halftime show, the most famous sporting and pop culture event that the United States gives us every year in early February.

In addition to the success generated by the show, in which The Weeknd sang some of his hits including Blinding Lights and Can’t Feel My Face, attention was captured above all by his look. Although the headliners of the first half have undergone multiple clothing changes in recent years, The Weeknd wore its Givenchy suit all the time.

The 55th Super Bowl, which estimated over 100 million spectators, was therefore a media success shared with designer Matthew Williams, who can be said to have fulfilled the desire expressed after his first collection for Givenchy:

“I want to create clothes that have emotions and soul, in which you feel the touch of the human hand, not of machines and computers.”

The ruby crystal jacket, which has now become viral on social media, was in fact hand-made by four embroiderers, who took 250 hours to make it. To complete the outfit, a black cotton poplin shirt and wool trousers accessorized with a black leather tie and gloves, as well as a pair of black and white derbies.

Below, the designer’s statement:

“It’s truly an honor to have dressed The Weeknd for his incredible Super Bowl show. 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.”
