Time Magazine has released its first all-Spanish cover featuring Puerto Rican rapper and singer Bad Bunny.
Bad Bunny, known for his Latin trap and reggaeton songs, poses on the cover against a red background wearing a black structured suit with a statement flower accent adjacent to the lapel from Willy Chavarria. The look was accessorized with Veneda Carter jewelry, including two gold rings, a gold cross pendant that Bad Bunny held in view and a gold chain and a gold ring from David Yurman.
Bad Bunny’s look was from Willy Chavarria’s fall 2023 collection. The collection marked Chavarria’s first foray into eveningwear and formal design. WWD characterized the collection as a balance between serious and elegant.
