Bad Bunny walks into a conference room at the Fontainebleau hotel in Las Vegas in incognito mode\u2014brown thermal hoodie, hood up, over a logo-less navy baseball cap and wraparound black sunglasses. But when he takes his glasses off and makes his way to the head of the table with a cup of coffee\u2014three shots, oat milk, sugar\u2014he quickly becomes Benito Antonio Mart\u00ednez Ocasio, the 31-year-old Puerto Rican superstar who has fully owned all of 2025 since releasing his sixth studio album, Deb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos<\/em>, in January. The day after we chat, he will win five of the 12 Latin Grammys he was nominated for this year\u2014including album of the year\u2014though he is already in a state of euphoria. \u201cI\u2019ve just done a historic fitting,\u201d he says, as he takes a seat, fresh from a couple hours of putting together looks with his longtime stylists Storm Pablo and Marvin Douglas Linares.<\/p>\n

\u201cI still don\u2019t know what I am going to wear tomorrow,\u201d he says, \u201cbut it\u2019s been a long time since I\u2019ve had so many options that I loved, and where I had so much fun,\u201d he adds. At the ceremony, he ends up wearing a black Loewe suit composed of a double-breasted jacket and slightly slouchy trousers, a tight-fitting white button-down shirt (done all the way up, no tie), a logo\u2019d cream baseball cap from the independent label Shapes, black thick-rimmed aviator glasses, and a flower brooch on his lapel; later, for his performance, he changed into a plaid hoodie from the Los Angeles label 424, an Elder Statesman scarf, ERL shorts, and his own Adidas boxing-style sneakers, rumored to be part of an upcoming drop from his ongoing collaboration.<\/p>\n

While Benito has always taken great care with what he wears, there is a touch of magical realism to the way he describes his process of putting together outfits. \u201cThere was a specific look that I took a long, long time to discover,\u201d he says, \u201cand just when I was about to give up and call it quits\u2014that\u2019s when the outfit arrived.\u201d He continues: \u201cI can compare it to writing a song\u2014when you feel the energy and you change one thing and put in something else, then you take that off and put in a different thing and you start seeing it come together; suddenly, something really cool appears.\u201d The look (which, in the end, he didn\u2019t end up wearing to the ceremony) included Storm\u2019s personal \u201990s-style headphones and vintage Herman Miller bag\u2014replete with his embellished key chain and car keys. An image appears in my head of Benito as the Tasmanian Devil from Looney Tunes,<\/em> tearing through racks of clothes and tables full of accessories, caught up in a creative frenzy that sucks in everything and everyone around him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

At one point in our interview, life imitates art when Benito says he likes the rings I am wearing and asks if he can borrow them for a day\u2014though, sadly, they don\u2019t fit. Undaunted, he snaps a photo to send to Storm and Marvin. \u201cHe always knows what he wants to do,\u201d Storm explains to me later. \u201cHis biggest thing\u2014and we feel the same way\u2014is not looking like a mannequin.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stylists or no stylists, \u201cI don\u2019t like it when I don\u2019t feel like I\u2019ve dressed myself,\u201d Benito says. One gets the impression that, in the end, he does whatever he wants anyway. \u201cHe has a very good idea of who he is,\u201d Storm says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

That self-assurance was there from the beginning. \u201cI had another friend who was a singer,\u201d recalls Janthony Oliveras, who now works as his creative director, \u201cbut when I first heard Benito\u2019s music, I understood that there was a big difference between them\u2014I understood the talent.\u201d The two, who knew each other from high school, reconnected when Benito was in college. \u201cAt first I was his manager\u2014sold the parties, made sure we got paid\u2014and promoter,\u201d Janthony says. \u201cI was even his DJ at those first few parties, even though I know nothing about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Benito wasn\u2019t, however, always so creative when it came to getting dressed. \u201cWhen we first started he was kind of low-key\u2014a pair of jeans and a good pair of sneakers,\u201d Janthony recalls. \u201cWe had a low budget, but he had a pair of red Reeboks that were kind of chunky\u2014they weren\u2019t the kind of shoes you would usually wear so they felt very like, These are artist sneakers<\/em>\u2014and he would always wear a little bandanna tied around his head, kinda like Tupac.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Benito was 22 years old, working at an Econo grocery store in his hometown of Vega Baja, when the songs he\u2019d been uploading to SoundCloud first started gathering attention. By the time X100Pre<\/em>, his first album, came out two years later on Christmas Eve 2018, he had already established himself as The King of Latin Trap, with over a dozen songs on the Billboard Latin Charts, a feature on Cardi B\u2019s chart-topping \u201cI Like It,\u201d and a world tour that took him to the United States and across Latin America and Europe. \u201cEverything started growing so fast,\u201d Janthony remembers.<\/p>\n

It hasn\u2019t stopped since. Every album he\u2019s released since 2020\u2019s El \u00daltimo Tour del Mundo<\/em> has topped both the American and Latin Billboard charts. He\u2019s been Spotify\u2019s most-streamed artist multiple times, including during a year (2021) when he didn\u2019t even release a new record, and 2022\u2019s Un Verano Sin Ti<\/em> was the first album by a Latin artist to be streamed over 10 billion times. Benito also began moonlighting as an actor, showing up in Netflix\u2019s Narcos: Mexico<\/em>, in Bullet Train<\/em> opposite Brad Pitt, in Darren Aronofsky\u2019s Caught Stealing<\/em> alongside Austin Butler and Zo\u00eb Kravitz, and in Happy Gilmore 2<\/em> with Adam Sandler; he\u2019s shown a talent for comedy with appearances on Saturday Night Live<\/em> (he\u2019s hosted twice); and he set his sights on conquering the WWE\u2014as both a fiercely dedicated fan and a title-holding wrestler, quickly becoming a fan favorite thanks to his dedication to mastering the sport\u2019s most difficult moves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

By the time Deb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos<\/em> was released in early January, he\u2019d become a global superstar, with the album going number one in the Americas and far beyond. He\u2019s now about to embark on a sold-out international tour, and in September he was announced, with no small amount of fanfare, as the headliner for the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show\u2014the first to be performed almost entirely in Spanish: the biggest music star in the world on one of the biggest stages in the world. (When pressed about it, though, he stays resolutely mum about any plans, predictions, hopes, dreams: \u201cI know something\u2019s happening, but I don\u2019t know exactly what\u2019s going to happen,\u201d he says, with a devilish grin.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

As is often the case with Benito, every aspect of his artistry has meaning. And from the earliest promotional appearances, it was obvious that the clothes he was wearing were the sartorial equivalent of Deb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos:<\/em> a concept album about Puerto Rico and puertorrique\u00f1idad<\/em> which gathered influences as diverse as the j\u00edbaro<\/em> music of Chu\u00edto el de Bayam\u00f3n (one of the most important figures in Puerto Rican music), the salsa cl\u00e1sica<\/em> of the 1970s (born from Puerto Ricans and other Latinx immigrants who had settled in New York City), and contemporary reggaeton. There were classic white tees worn with wide-leg stonewashed jeans held up with a rope tied around his waist like a belt, the way j\u00edbaros who lived in the mountains of Puerto Rico in the 19th century used to wear them; leather flip-flops, or chancletas metedeo<\/em> (in the \u201980s and \u201990s, the most ubiquitous version of them had PUERTO RICO<\/em> burnished in bronze on the thong); \u201970s-inspired double-breasted suits with creased trousers like the salseros<\/em> used to wear; and the mix-and-match sportswear central to the way young Puerto Ricans dress now. Together, it all forms a timeless snapshot of the island\u2019s culture\u2014past, present, and future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Still, it was only this summer, at his 31-show residency at San Juan\u2019s Choliseo, where, in-between his homages to the Fania All-Stars and the j\u00edbaro, we caught a glimpse of where Benito the person meets Bad Bunny the artist. It was during the concert\u2019s second act\u2014staged at La Casita, a full-scale house that mimics the concrete homes found in the countryside throughout the island built inside the venue and inspired by classic parties de marquesina<\/em> (house parties)\u2014where, each night, his personal style truly came alive. \u201cThat was the most fun,\u201d he remembers now. \u201cWe literally had a closet full of clothes, and every Friday [the shows took place on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays], I would put together the weekend\u2019s outfits. It was a very playful process, because sometimes I would think, Oh\u2014this is how I used to dress back in the day<\/em>. It was very freestyle.\u201d At La Casita, Benito experimented with a vintage T-shirt accessorized with a random silk tie thrown over it, denim overalls, Puerto Rican flag satin shorts, and other pieces that could very well have come from his own closet: colorful hoodies, basketball jerseys, baggy denim shorts, and even a plaid skirt, all grounded with colorful Adidas from his collaboration with the sportswear giant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The shows also engendered an explosion of style experimentation among the audiences\u2014who, inspired by Bad Bunny\u2019s reclaiming of Puerto Rican culture, showed up in pavas,<\/em> rocking their flag\u2019s colors, or even in recreations of Benito\u2019s Met Gala look. \u201cPeople have always loved to dress up for my shows,\u201d he says, \u201cand this was definitely the [record] that lent itself to more creative interpretations\u2014I could see it all bubbling up on social media,\u201d he says. Soon after Deb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos<\/em> came out, fans took to Instagram to share photos of themselves in Puerto Rican costume\u2014often from elementary school cultural celebrations\u2014with captions declaring they\u2019d found their concert \u2019fits. \u201cSeeing all the diversity at my shows,\u201d Benito says, \u201cfrom young to old, all the creativity\u2026. Some people dressed up as j\u00edbaros: Everyone interpreted Deb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos,<\/em> and what it means to be Puerto Rican, in their own way. It was one of the things that impressed me the most and that I enjoyed the most.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If, at the very beginning of his career, it was his music that made people stop and pay attention, his emerging style signaled that this was a completely different artist. He famously wore a boldly printed yellow floral Gucci suit by Alessandro Michele for his first major red carpet appearance, and his penchant both for experimentation and for crossing genres soon became a musical signature in addition to a sartorial one\u2014see the cheeky pop-punk rhythms of \u201cTenemos Que Hablar\u201d on his debut album. (\u201cThe Gucci thing was all him,\u201d Janthony says with a chuckle. \u201cIt was those first moments where he was making good money, and we were both real fans of [Latin rapper] Arc\u00e1ngel at the time, and he had a song, \u2018Gucci Boys Club,\u2019 so it was like: Damn\u2014it\u2019s Gucci!\u201d<\/em>)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

Though Benito claims to not have a favorite designer, there are a few likely candidates: There\u2019s Michele, now at Valentino, whose clothes Benito has worn throughout the years; Simon Porte Jacquemus, who created the iconic backless suit he wore to attend the 2023 Met Gala (Benito also starred in an ad campaign for the French designer last year); and the American label Bode, long one of his go-tos, with Emily Adams Bode Aujla even creating custom suits for last year\u2019s Most Wanted Tour. (In his downtime, he can often be spotted wearing a pair of jeans from Sky High Farm and his own Adidas sneakers and sandals.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI know, like, four designers,\u201d Benito says with a laugh, though the key to his style isn\u2019t a label or a designer\u2014it\u2019s Janthony. \u201cHe\u2019s the person I connect with the most,\u201d Benito says. \u201cEven when I was putting together all the outfits for La Casita, the person whose approval I always seek is his.\u201d If, when he was younger, he had the bad habit of shopping and then leaving the new clothes to languish in his closet, unworn and with the tags still on, he\u2019s since changed his ways. \u201cThat\u2019s something that I learned from Jan\u2014that if I buy something, I need to wear it right now. You can\u2019t save things for a special occasion.\u201d Janthony seconds the thought. \u201cWe\u2019re living a special life,\u201d he says, \u201cso let\u2019s dress up whenever we can.\u201d<\/p>\n

But in a year full of superlatives and accolades\u2014there are also six more Grammy nominations (he has three trophies already), including for album, song, and record of the year\u2014Benito is staying resolutely humble about the idea of being one of Vogue<\/em>\u2019s best-dressed. \u201cIt\u2019s a cool thing,\u201d he says, \u201cbecause the people that chose it liked what I did this year, but it doesn\u2019t make me the best-dressed person on earth.\u201d Who would that award go to? He thinks for a good long while, and then says: \u201cI\u2019ll pick someone who never failed during all 31 of my residency shows, and they did it without a stylist: Mami<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
