Benito Martinez Ocasio, aka Bad Bunny, has repeatedly proven that he is not afraid to take style risks. The 30-year-old Puerto Rican artiste continually blurs the lines in his fashion choices and expresses his creativity through gender-fluid designs and bold fashion statements. Bad Bunny uses fashion as a medium of creative expression and has gone viral on multiple occasions for his sartorial choices. The three-time Grammy Award winner spoke with Billboard in an interview published in February 2019 on the reason for his innovative outfits:
"My style influences what my music is and everything that surrounds me within it,"
He continued:
"The way you dress is, to say the least, a type of art. Everyone must dress, and use their creativity, express themselves in that way, their feelings, their way of thinking. Everyone must be free in that area and let the mind flow.”
