Even though today\u2019s FIFA World Cup<\/a> final between Spain and Argentina remained scoreless through regulation, the star-studded halftime show delivered plenty of electric action on the MetLife Stadium pitch. Headlined by Madonna, BTS<\/a>, Justin Bieber<\/a>, and Shakira\u2014alongside cameos from Burna Boy<\/a>, Coldplay\u2019s Chris Martin, Jason Sudeikis<\/a> as Ted Lasso<\/a>, the Muppets<\/a>, the New York Philharmonic, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo Naz\u00e1rio, a children\u2019s choir, and probably a few other folks we\u2019re forgetting\u2014the 11-minute performance was packed with enough star power to fill a Coachella lineup. And as per usual, former GQ cover stars BTS and Bieber came correct in the global-stage-worthy menswear department.<\/p>\n

The Bangtan Boys<\/a> stayed on theme for the occasion\u2014not only did they put a soccer-ified spin on the lyrics of their 2020 hit \u201cDynamite,\u201d but all seven members were decked out in sporty custom ensembles in red (the primary color of the band\u2019s massive Arirang era<\/a>), black, and white. Jungkook and V both rocked leather racing jackets that looked straight out of an F1 paddock; RM and Jin zipped up slick contrasting tracksuits; and Suga, Jimin, and J-Hope all donned punkish BTS football kits.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Bieber kept things lower key, performing an acoustic version of his Swag II<\/a> number \u201cEverything\u2019s Hallelujah\u201d in a look from his clothing label Skylrk<\/a>: a chopped-up green tee over a baggy white polo shirt, a pair of long raw denim jorts, and the brand\u2019s just-released Matter Daddy torpedo sneakers<\/a> with bunched-up chunky white socks. Though he looked as effortlessly cool as ever, the ensemble was a typically counterintuitive turn from the Canadian singer, who popped up several times earlier this week in far more footy-coded looks<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Even though today\u2019s FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina remained scoreless through regulation, the star-studded halftime…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":558398,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[321,93,61,60,281,2125,11514,514,4018],"class_list":["post-558397","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-justin-bieber","tag-style","tag-textbelowcenterfullbleed","tag-web","tag-world-cup"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558397","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=558397"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558397\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/558398"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=558397"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=558397"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=558397"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
