The viral bootcut designer jeans Kendrick Lamar wore during his Super Bowl halftime performance were originally meant for a different A-lister.
Lamar’s stylist Taylor McNeil initially sourced the $1,300 denim for another client — actor Timothée Chalamet, 29.
According to an insider who spoke with Page Six, the size 29 women’s jeans coincidentally turned out to be a perfect fit for the 37-year-old rapper, even though he typically wears a size 33.
The Celine trousers are described on the website as a ‘flared surf jean in summer dazed wash.’
Kendrick and Timothée’s five-inch height difference (the former is 5’5″ while the latter is 5’10”) could explain why the jeans were so long on the Compton-bred artist.
McNeill’s other notable clients include Charli XCX and Dominic Fike.
