Machine Gun Kelly has offered a new way to style a cardigan during his appearance on “Saturday Night Live.”
The 30-year-old rapper made his debut on the variety show on Jan. 30 and closed out the episode wearing a white cardigan that features a red trim. Kelly showcased his own take on the outerwear trend by opting to go shirtless underneath.
He teamed the sweater with light wash flare jeans — a retro trend that has been given new life thanks to the 2021 runways. As for footwear, Kelly opted for a pair of black platform Converse sneakers. The shoes feature the brand’s signature canvas uppers teamed with a thick white outsole and contrasting black lines. Converse sells a similar style for $110.

Kelly’s last few moments on the sketch comedy came after he delivered a powerful and moving performance of two of his popular songs. To perform “My Ex’s Best Friend,” which he released in August 2020, Kelly wore a pink and black sleeveless flannel teamed with pink shorts. He finalized the look with chunky white lace-up boots.

Afterwards, Kelly pulled out his guitar once more for “Lonely” — a track about his late father, who died in July of last year. The rapper changed into a black t-shirt adorned with a smiley face layered atop a yellow long sleeve shirt. He completed the ensemble with black pants and the platform Converse sneakers.
