Kendrick Lamar may have been the star of the Super Bowl Halftime Show, but bootcut jeans are walking away as the unexpected MVP of the night. The rapper’s cool, symbolic performance not only captivated the audience but also reignited a love for the relaxed, flared denim silhouette that dominated early 2000s fashion.

Social media lit up with reactions to the 37-year-old’s vintage-inspired ’fit, with fans praising the “Not Like Us” rapper’s sartorial choice as a full-circle fashion moment. “Kendrick Lamar wore Celine flare jeans at the Super Bowl & now I want Celine flare jeans,” one user wrote on X, alluding to the iconic Mean Girls line. Another added, “Kendrick has boot cut jeans, a 5’5 frame, and a hater mentality and I respect that.”

The jeans in question? The flared surf jeans in summer dazed from Celine—$1,300 and now sold out, obviously. But no worries; we’ve got you covered with alternatives (and certainly more affordable ones). Because let’s be real—with trends cycling faster than ever, it’s a little scary to drop a bag on jeans.
