Super Bowl who? On Sunday night, Santa Clara’s Levi’s Stadium experienced the Bunny Bowl. When Puerto Rican singer (and Vogue’s fashionable December digital cover star) Bad Bunny took the stage at the 2026 Super Bowl, he brought his celebrity friends along for the celebration. Cardi B, Pedro Pascal, Karol G… the list of stars spotted dancing to Benito’s music goes on. Among them? Lady Gaga, who performed a salsa rendition of her hit with Bruno Mars, “Die With a Smile,” in custom Luar.
The week before the Grammys, Gaga’s stylists, sisters Chloe and Chenelle Delgadillo, reached out to Dominican-American fashion designer Raul Lopez with a request. “When Chloe and Chenelle called, all they told me was that Gaga wanted a salsa-inspired dress,” says Lopez, who founded Luar in 2011. “Nobody has ever given me an opportunity like this.”
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 (“so it would hug her body”) organza gown with movement and structure in mind. “The dress feels very Gaga, but also very Latina,” Lopez says. “I wanted to create something that was Tití Gaga.”
He says he had no idea what the dress was for until Gaga showed up on his television screen. “I was watching the game at a friend’s house, and we were celebrating because the halftime show was such a historic moment,” Lopez says. “I 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.”

Gaga’s look was completed with a custom flor de maga brooch—the official flower of Puerto Rico—made 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’d venture a guess that she was wearing her own makeup line, likely Haus Labs’s Le Monster Lip Crayon in shade Scarlett, topped with PhD Hybrid Lip Glaze Plumping Gloss in shade Persimmon.
The morning after, López and his team are still celebrating—not only because Gaga wore the dress, but also because of what the moment means culturally. “I designed this dress for the Caribbean women I grew up watching, listening to, and being shaped by,” he says. “Not only the women in my community, but also artists like Yolanda Rivera and Celia Cruz. I hope everybody can see the beauty in that.”
