The Grammy Award-winning rapper performed wearing a custom leather Martine Rose Varsity jacket that read "Gloria" across the front, a black shirt, Nike Air DT Max '96 sneakers and a pair of Celine Flared Surf Jeans in summer dazed wash denim.

During Lamar's performance, actor Samuel L. Jackson appeared dressed as Uncle Sam, a character traditionally used to embody and represent the United States' government. Maner said she was surprised, and elated, to see this powerful iconography.
