As one of the biggest stars on the planet right now, it's only fitting that fashion icon Bad Bunny should grace the cover of a major magazine's September issue. Ever the wavemaker, Bad Bunny–clad in Dior and Louis Vuitton–appears in a dress and a blazer for the issue dubbed "The Icons Issue."
"The Puerto Rican superstar is the most streamed artist in the world, and he's achieved his meteoric success by remaining true to his sound, his personal style, and the social causes that move him," wrote Bazaar on Instagram.
In an interview with the magazine, Bad Bunny remarked "I don't do it to become more famous to call attention or to disrespect anyone. People on the outside can think that I have a strategy or I wear this to call for attention, but in reality I just know who I am."
According to the interview, Bad Bunny's interest in women's clothes goes back to his childhood. "I always remember seeing the pieces in women's clothing and they would always fit me so much better and they had so much different variety," he told Bazaar.
"Obviously, as you get older, you start seeing what the world shows you and if I lived my life that way, then I wouldn't be able to dress in the way that I really want to," he added. "To a point, the fame and where I am gives me the confidence to do all of these things. I'm taking advantage of this moment in my life when I can do whatever I want and wear what I want, so I get to live life more authentically."
"Un Verano Sin Ti," his mega-selling album that has been sitting at the top of the charts since its release in May continues to dominate the music industry. Similarly, his "World's Hottest Tour" is sure to become one of the highest grossing tours of 2022. Playing stadiums across North America through October 1, he will then head to Latin America, playing 22 additional shows over six weeks.
