Bad Bunny made history this year by becoming the first Latino artist to headline Coachella. The 29-year-old rapper and singer delivered a show-stopping, high-octane performance packed with hits (think: “Callaíta,” “Yo Perreo Sola,” and “Después De La Playa”) and colorful visuals, plus an eye-catching look that reflected his set. Bad Bunny opted for a custom ERL outfit, consisting of a super-saturated patchwork jacket and matching pants. Notably, he left his shirt backstage, opting for some serious bling around the neck as his only coverage.
His custom look reflects a growing 2023 men’s runway and red carpet trend: bold pieces full of bright, contrasting colors, making for a kaleidoscopic spectacle. Similarly, Jaden Smith took on the style at the Nylon House at Coachella in a vibrant MSFTSrep rubberized jacket, mirroring the trend. Louis Vuitton’s Spring 2023 collection also showcased a collision of vibrant colors, featuring blocks of conflicting hues and patterns. Versace opted for a more tailored approach, layering blazers, fitted trousers and overcoats in neon and richly-saturated shades. No matter how you tackle the trend, one thing’s for sure: it’s not about matching this spring, it’s about the color clash.
