Super Bowl who? On Sunday night, Santa Clara\u2019s Levi\u2019s Stadium experienced the Bunny Bowl<\/a>. When Puerto Rican singer (and Vogue\u2019s fashionable December digital cover star<\/a>) Bad Bunny took the stage at the 2026 Super Bowl, he brought his celebrity friends along for the celebration. Cardi B<\/a>, Pedro Pascal, Karol G\u2026 the list of stars spotted dancing to Benito\u2019s music goes on. Among them? Lady Gaga, who performed a salsa rendition of her hit with Bruno Mars, \u201cDie With a Smile,\u201d in custom Luar.<\/p>\n

The week before the Grammys, Gaga\u2019s stylists, sisters Chloe and Chenelle Delgadillo<\/a>, reached out to Dominican-American fashion designer Raul Lopez with a request. \u201cWhen Chloe and Chenelle called, all they told me was that Gaga wanted a salsa-inspired dress,\u201d says Lopez, who founded Luar in 2011. \u201cNobody has ever given me an opportunity like this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Next, they decided on a color, landing on light blue as a nod to the Puerto Rican flag of 1895. From there, the Luar team hand-made a custom bias-pleated (\u201cso it would hug her body\u201d) organza gown with movement and structure in mind. \u201cThe dress feels very Gaga, but also very Latina,\u201d Lopez says. \u201cI wanted to create something that was Tit\u00ed Gaga.\u201d<\/p>\n

He says he had no idea what the dress was for until Gaga showed up on his television screen. \u201cI was watching the game at a friend\u2019s house, and we were celebrating because the halftime show was such a historic moment,\u201d Lopez says. \u201cI screamed the moment she came on the screen. Everybody started celebrating even more. It was a very surreal and beautiful moment for me and my team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gaga\u2019s look was completed with a custom flor de maga brooch\u2014the official flower of Puerto Rico\u2014made by Piers Atkinson and Chopard jewelry. For beauty, she worked with her go-to glam artists of more than a decade, Sarah Tanno and Frederic Aspiras. On her ultra-glossy lips, we\u2019d venture a guess that she was wearing her own makeup line, likely Haus Labs\u2019s Le Monster Lip Crayon<\/a> in shade Scarlett, topped with PhD Hybrid Lip Glaze Plumping Gloss<\/a> in shade Persimmon.<\/p>\n

The morning after, L\u00f3pez and his team are still celebrating\u2014not only because Gaga wore the dress, but also because of what the moment means culturally. \u201cI designed this dress for the Caribbean women I grew up watching, listening to, and being shaped by,\u201d he says. \u201cNot only the women in my community, but also artists like Yolanda Rivera and Celia Cruz. I hope everybody can see the beauty in that.\u201d<\/p>\n
