Puerto Rican musician Bad Bunny took to the Levi’s Stadium to perform one of the most uplifting and powerful Super Bowl halftime shows in history, wearing a Desert diamond stud.
At, what fans have affectionately called, the “Benito Bowl”, music, movement, color and culture collided in a performance that felt both celebratory and personal. But amid the choreography, celebrity cameos and cultural references, there was one tiny accessory that gave style obsessives something to rewind and zoom in for.
Bad Bunny punctuated his all-white ensemble with a bespoke marquise stud featuring a natural diamond in a warm honey Desert diamond hue and set in yellow gold
A diamond fit for the occasion
Designed by Marvin Douglas, the stud was inspired by the shape of a football, a nod to the scale of the moment and the stage itself. “I wanted him to have something personal and unique that would always symbolize this milestone performance,” Douglas said1. The choice of a marquise cut echoed the ball’s silhouette, while the Desert diamond shade added warmth and individuality.
Love, commitment and a very real wedding
Beyond the music, the halftime performance unfolded like a short film, complete with a storyline centered on love, commitment and family. A natural diamond engagement ring appeared as part of a proposal scene and later, spectators were treated to what turned out to be a real wedding.
According to Bad Bunny’s public relations agency2, the couple had originally invited Bad Bunny to their wedding but instead received an invitation of their own when they were invited into his halftime show, where he served as a witness and signed their marriage certificate.
A historic halftime, told his way
The performance marked the first primarily Spanish-language halftime show in Super Bowl history. Coming off his Grammy win for Album of the Year, Bad Bunny used the moment to celebrate where he comes from without diluting it for a global audience. From the sugar cane fields and domino tables to the bodega-lined street scene, the pan-American parade, and the real wedding that unfolded on the field, every detail was specific and intentional.
What made the diamond elements so fun wasn’t opulence or sparkle. It was context and personality. The Super Bowl halftime show is one of music’s biggest spotlight moments, and Bad Bunny turned his into a beautiful blend of pride, performance art and personal style.
