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.
