An Ode to Kendrick Lamar's Bell Bottoms - and Where to Shop Similar Styles

In all the hype leading up to the 2025 Super Bowl, who could have predicted that the biggest winner of last night's game would be... Kendrick Lamar's jeans?

That's right: fresh off the heels of his five Grammy wins at the 67th Grammy Awards, Lamar took the stage for Apple's Super Bowl Halftime Show on Sunday, Feb. 9, with a headlining performance that included hit songs from the rapper's expansive catalog - including everything from "Humble" to "All the Stars" featuring SZA and yes, even his infamous Drake diss track, "Not Like Us" (currently on repeat today).

While the musician's Halftime performance was legendary in its own right (we're still not over that Serena Williams cameo!), Lamar's outfit choice for the spectacle proved to inspire just as much discourse online - specifically his oversize flare jeans. The washed denim pants - which I was able to identify as a now sold-out $1,300 Celine style - weren't quite as flamboyant as a '70s-esque bell bottom, nor were they as tame as a classic bootcut style; but the throwback jeans still felt quintessentially Y2K, with a light wash coloring and exaggerated silhouette that flared at the knees.

As a self-proclaimed jean girlie, I love how Lamar's Super Bowl outfit felt like a casual departure from the glitzy performance looks of year's past, and one that signaled the return of retro denim - because of course Kendrick Lamar would be the one to make bell bottoms cool again.

Whether you're looking to replicate Lamar's Super Bowl ensemble or simply want a way to tap into the quiet-luxury trend, I scoured the internet and rounded up a few of the best flare jeans for women - with styles inspired by the star's viral denim.

The Boob-Window Trend Is All Over the Red Carpet From Sydney Sweeney to Chlöe

The boob window is the new trend in celebrity dressing making waves this year, both on and off the red carpet. As early as January, in fact, Lori Harvey stepped out to celebrate her 26th birthday in the LBD version of the look, flaunting an asymmetrical midi from The Attico with a chest cutout that circled her cleavage, and was further amplified by an attention-grabbing neck-tie sash. The outfits that follow often resemble halter silhouettes, although not all of these numbers boast a strap on each side. Sydney Sweeney is the latest style icon to give it a go, opting for a brown silk gown that she wore alongside model Izabel Goulart while vacationing in Ibiza. For a night out, the 25-year-old " Euphoria " star rocked her one-shoulder design with gold jewelry, dewy makeup, and her bright blonde hair in loose waves. The bodice of her dress was secured near her collar bone, where fabric from one side was pulled through a loop at the other, wrapping around to the back. The r...

I Wore Sofía Vergara's Viral and Divisive Sneaker Heels - and Actually Sort of Loved Them

Despite what some people may think, the return of sneaker heels - largely attributed to Sara Blakely , the inventor of world-renowned Spanx, and now Sneex - happened by accident. "Our founder did not set out to create a sneaker heel. She set out to create the world's most comfortable high heel and this is where the innovation led her," a brand rep says. Not only are they supportive, they add noticeable bounce to my steps, which actually makes walking in high heels sort of . . . fun? Nevertheless, merely one year in, the company can report that The Tepper in Silver ($595) sold out in just 24 hours after launch and accrued an 11,000-person waitlist. One-third of the brand's customers have already invested in a second pair. And celebrities from Jane Fonda and Sofía Vergara to Reese Witherspoon and Suki Waterhouse have already been spotted wearing them. "The Sneex customer is responding to sneaker heels because they want height and wearability," the S...

Michael Kors has established himself as the go-to designer for all things American glamour, whether that's easy West Coast chic or '80s power bitch, so it was not particularly surprising when he cited the Studio 54-era of New York City as inspiration behind his Fall 2019 collection, shown ...
