The 2026 Grammys have left a lasting impression for many reasons, but one standout moment was Bad Bunny‘s show-stopping entrance. The Puerto Rican superstar took to the stage, turning heads and setting social media ablaze with his high-end fashion attire. The MONACO singer’s Grammys tuxedo was a landmark moment, and here’s how it made history.
Bad Bunny’s Schiaparelli tux makes Grammys history
Bad Bunny’s album Debí Tirar Más Fotos became the first predominantly Spanish-language album to win Album of the Year. However, even before that, the Dákiti hitmaker’s Schiaparelli tuxedo had already etched a new chapter in Grammys history.
Bad Bunny’s sleek black velvet tux marked Schiaparelli’s inaugural custom haute couture menswear look. The brainchild of creative director Daniel Roseberry, the 31-year-old’s red carpet look was a masterclass in haute couture.
The tuxedo featured a nipped waist and broad shoulders, blending traditional masculine and feminine elements. Schiaparelli’s iconic measuring tape motif adorned the lapels, while crisscross laces ran down the back, echoing the artist’s daring look at the 2023 Met Gala in Jacquemus.
The outfit was custom-made for Bad Bunny, adapted from Schiaparelli’s spring 2023 couture womenswear collection. He accesorized it with Cartier jewellery, including a luxurious Tank watch, for the Grammys red carpet.
In a pre-show Vogue interview, the Grammy winner revealed his custom tuxedo would make his “16-year-old self extremely happy.”
In his emotional acceptance speech for the Album of the Year, Bad Bunny started with “Puerto Rico,” acknowledging Latinos globally in Spanish, and thanked his mother for making him Puerto Rican. Earlier, the rapper accepted the Grammy for Best Música Urbana Album, using his moment to speak out against ICE and champion love.
“We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans,” he said onstage. “I know it’s tough to not hate these days. And I was thinking, sometimes we get contaminated. The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love.”
With his mere presence that evening, Bad Bunny made history by becoming the first Latin artist to receive nominations for Album, Record, and Song of the Year simultaneously.
