Maluma on His Thom Browne Performance Look For the American Music Awards

Designer Thom Browne dressed the Colombian singer in a one-of-a-kind fit for his performance with J.Lo….

Maluma and Jennifer Lopez were one of the most-anticipated acts of the evening at tonight’s 2020 American Music Awards. The two artists teamed up for a special performance of their songs “Pa’ Ti” and “Lonely,” which the pair co-wrote for the soundtrack to Marry Me, their new film releasing next year. This year’s AMAs were a special occasion for Maluma, as it was his debut at the awards show. “Tonight was amazing,” Maluma tells Vogue. “Being on the stage with Jennifer for the first time, and embodying our video on stage, was beyond.” Given the occasion, Maluma’s look for the stage had to be just as exciting, so the Colombian singer worked with Thom Browne to craft a one-of-a-kind suiting look for the set—and Vogue has a closer look at it.

For his performance, Maluma worked with Browne to develop a suit that played off the detective-themed looks he wore in the music video for the two songs. “I love suits,” says Maluma. “They are just powerful—especially fitted—but with this look, I had the matching trench that meant business in catching the so-called ‘criminal.’” For the performance, Browne wanted to give his spy vibe a super-sleek finish. “I wanted him to be unique and individual, and unexpectedly classic,” the designer tells Vogue. “But not classic in proportion and fabrication.”

The end result was a custom three-piece suit with a chesterfield coat worn overtop. All the pieces were designed in navy stripes and trimmed with the label’s signature grosgrain. “It is a one-of-a-kind mix of classic, tailored fabrics—hand-tailored—to create something special for the evening,” Browne says. The ensemble was also finished with chunky hiker boots with hefty gold hardware, as well as gold anchor buttons—a detail Browne added as a surprise for Maluma (it’s an ode to his song, “Marinero,” which is Spanish for “sailor”). The special details didn’t go unnoticed by Maluma. “I have been a big fan of Thom Browne, as he is a creative that makes concepts come to life, and that’s what we did here,” Maluma says. “Men always need a good suit!”

A$AP Rocky Turned An Entire Manchester City Kit Into His Album Rollout

A$AP Rocky doesn’t do album rollouts quietly, and this one recruited an entire Premier League club to help. Manchester City, PUMA, and Rocky teamed up on a limited apparel run tied to “Don’t Be Dumb,” his 2026 album, timed around his September 5th show at Co-op Live.

The centerpiece is a long-sleeve PUMA King jersey in black and archive gold, with “DON’T BE DUMB” running down the sleeve and AWGE branding worked in throughout. A bold “MANCHESTER” graphic covers the back. Fans could also add limited “A$AP 11” name-and-number printing onto the club’s actual Home, Away, or Third kits, while supplies lasted at retail.

There’s a players-only version too, and it never went up for sale. That one sticks closer to City’s usual sky-blue identity, with its own sleeve detailing and back graphic — the kind of piece that exists purely because a handful of people got lucky.

The whole rollout kicked off with a one-night pop-up on September 4th, when PUMA turned a spot in Manchester’s Northern Quarter into a pop-up cafe for the night, mixing football, music, and street style into one room before the wider release hit the stadium store the next morning. Some of those jerseys even came with golden tickets to the concert or that Saturday’s match.

Rocky has called the project true to his own design language, and it’s not even his only club collaboration this cycle — a similar drop with AC Milan landed around the same time. At this point, the line between fashion week and matchday has basically disappeared.

Quavo And Lids Are Going All In On Atlanta With Their New Cap Pack

Quavo has never been shy about his hat obsession, and Lids just gave him another outlet for it. Their new “Atlanta” pack drops September 12th, marking another round in a partnership that’s been running strong since 2019.

The collection is a love letter to the city, spread across three very different caps. One mashes up pinstripes, script lettering, and Braves branding into a single design, working navy, red, white, and light blue into the mix. Another goes the opposite direction entirely — fully iced out in crystal detailing, done up in black and red, with both the Falcons and the Braves showing up in the design. The third strips things back to an old-school “ATL” trucker cap in red, white, and gold, the kind of understated piece that lets the city’s name do the talking.

None of this is new territory for Quavo. He’s talked before about waiting on hat releases as a kid, and that same excitement seems to be what’s kept this partnership going years past most celebrity collabs. His earlier Lids run leaned on one moment — the Braves’ 1995 World Series win — but this pack pulls from the city’s whole sports history instead of just one highlight.

Lids has called Quavo one of the rare voices who can blend music, fashion, and sports without it feeling forced, and this drop backs that up. Given how fast his past releases have moved, Atlanta might want to set an alarm for September 12th.
