There were no wardrobe malfunctions during Justin Timberlake’s Super Bowl LII halftime performance, but that doesn’t mean that his wardrobe was without issue.
The singer took the stage Sunday night to pull off a massive halftime performance for Super Bowl LII, but while fans applauded his performance, they couldn’t’ get over his ridiculous outfit. The Stella McCartney outfit featured a camouflage splatter-print suit, which was made complete with a red bandana neck tie. Timberlake’s button-down shirt featured a rural American landscape, including deer, to pay tribute to his new album, Man of the Woods.

While Twitter erupted with praise after his performance, it also erupted with a number of fans dragging Timberlake for his outfit.
“What’s the deal with JT’s elk (moose? reindeer?) shirt? Is he going to the hunting lodge,” one person questioned.

Some fans began speculating on where exactly the singer had purchased his outfit.
“Did Justin Timberlake buy his outfit at bass pro shop,” one Twitter user questioned.

Another theorized that he possibly strolled into a Cracker Barrel gift shop.

One person even suggested that the outfit was an ad for Bass Pro Shops.

While Timberlake’s outfit definitely raised a few eyebrows, his nearly 14-minute performance was met with an energized and cheering crowd.
The singer’s Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show was laden with hits and a tribute to late Minneapolis native, Prince. The singer took a break from performing his own chart-toppers to break into a version of “I Would Die 4 U” on the piano, with a projection of Prince towering above him.
While many were hoping for an *NSYNC reunion during Timberlake’s spot on TV’s biggest stage, and others theorized he might bring on new music buddy Chris Stapleton for the halftime show, the pop singer opted to go solo.
