Jermaine Dupri seemed to be taking style notes from AC/DC’s Angus Young when he wore short pants for his performance. He paired them with a matching suit jacket that featured a white lapel. However, it was his footwear that really caught people’s attention. He had on a pair of black loafers and white socks that appeared adorned with ruffles at first glance. But up close, they look like scrunched-down tube socks with small pockets on the side. Still, this sartorial choice reminded many users on X, formerly known as Twitter, of that classic Mary Janes and bobby socks combo that is considered the height of Sunday school fashion. His overall look had people comparing him to several fictional characters, including Boss Baby, Mr. Magoo, Wednesday Addams, and Eddie Munster. There were also a lot of confessions from viewers who mistook Dupri for rapper CeeLo Green.
Other users got more creative when sharing what his outfit looked like to them. “Jermaine Dupri out [there] dressed like a pilgrim vacationing in Miami, mid summer,” one person wrote. “Who let him go out there looking like a Victorian era schoolboy with male pattern baldness!” another comedian captioned a photo of Travis Kelce yelling at Andy Reid during the game. Kelce is actually really into fashion, so it would be interesting to hear his thoughts about Dupri’s odd-fitting ‘fit.
