During the Super Bowl LV Halftime Show, The Weeknd wore a fully

hand-embroidered jacket with crystals, realized by the Givenchy Haute Couture

atelier in Paris. A feat of savoir-faire, it required four embroiderers and

more than 250 hours to complete. This jacket was worn over a black cotton

poplin shirt and wool trousers accessorized with black leather tie, and gloves,

as well as black and white derbies.  While made especially for this

performance, The Weeknd's outfit reflects the sharp tailoring, minimalism and

intense contrast Mr. Williams brought to his debut collection for the House of

Givenchy.

"It's truly an honor to have dressed The Weeknd for his incredible Super Bowl

show," said Matthew M. Williams. "To me, fashion is all about infusing what you

wear with a unique personality, and The Weeknd brought his look to life with

his energy, character and sense of style."

The Weeknd's cinematic Super Bowl LV performance was followed by an estimated

audience of more than 100 million viewers who tuned in to watch the NFL

championship game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs

at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.
