Kendrick Lamar turns out to be a lot like Timothée Chalamet — at least in the pants!
The duo share the same stylist, Taylor McNeil, and we hear that the $1,300 Celine jeans Lamar wore for his halftime performance at the Super Bowl 2025 were initially set aside for the “A Complete Unknown” movie star.
A source told Page Six that their stylist had pulled a bunch of denim for Lamar’s Grammy and Super Bowl appearances, but the size 29 Celine women’s pants hugged the rapper’s hips perfectly, despite his size 33 waist.
Reps for all parties did not comment on the switcheroo — but luckily for luxe brand Celine, the jeans had quite a moment at the Super Bowl.
Fans hotly debated if the pants were bootcut or bell bottoms, and the Celine site says they’re “flared surf jean in summer dazed wash.”
Either way, Chalamet, 29, is reportedly 5-foot-10, while Lamar, 37, is said to be 5-foot-5 — so maybe that accounted for the pants’ copious length?
Lamar paired the jeans with a custom blue leather Martine Rose varsity jacket that featured archival sports paneling and custom embroidery, according to an Instagram Story McNeil shared after the performance. He also wore a $68,000 Rahaminov diamond brooch pinned to his cap.
Lamar was the first solo rap act to ever perform music’s biggest stage.
“My intent was to always keep … the nature of it as a sport,” Lamar said during an exclusive interview on Thursday with show sponsor, Apple Music.
The big game even set a record for total viewers, with Lamar’s performance helping bring in more fans.
SZA joined him on their songs “All the Stars” and “Luther.” But the biggest surprise of the night was when tennis great Serena Williams helped Lamar close out the show by crip-walking to the rapper’s smash Drake diss track, “Not Like Us,” which just earned him five Grammy awards last week.
Lamar also boldly performed more obscure songs such as “Man at the Garden” and “Peekaboo” from his new “GNX” album, with Samuel L. Jackson narrating the performance as Uncle Sam.
Lamar told Apple Music: “How I process it all is just… I continue to do what I was doing 10 years ago, and that’s, like, get better in myself, better in the craft, and not look at the bright lights… I gotta look at myself in the mirror rather than looking at the crowd or, you know, fame and attention.”
All while wearing a women’s Celine jean meant for Chalamet!
