Jacob Elordi’s Dodgers Cap Is a Nod to Kendrick Lamar
StyleThe actor was spotted in Los Angeles sporting a pair of established KDot staples.By Eileen CartterApril 15, 2025BackgridSave this storySaveSave this storySaveThere are signs of springtime all around us: birds chirping; flowers blooming; Jacob Elordi carrying two to-go beverages in one hand, as he is wont to do.During a coffee run in Los Angeles, the Australian actor dressed casually in a zipped-up Willy Chavarria track jacket, swishy gray track pants, and two conspicuous Bottega Veneta accessories: silvery Orbit sneakers and a woven Veneto shoulder bag. Elordi is a conspicuous brand ambassador for the Italian luxury house—in addition to starring in formally styled campaigns, Elordi is also often photographed carrying Bottega wares out in public—an extension of the label’s uncannily naturalistic, paparazzi-facilitated marketing strategy, for which they have also tapped the oft-papped likes of A$AP Rocky and Kendall Jenner. (For example, when Elordi and his girlfriend, the influencer Olivia Jade, were photographed en route to the airport following their heavily documented Italian family vacation last fall, the duo just so happened to be carrying three intrecciato-woven bags between them.)BackgridBut Elordi, a reluctant trendsetter whose casual outfits tend to inspire an outsized response among the menswear enthusiasts of TikTok, wore another notable accessory on his coffee run: a co-branded Los Angeles Dodgers cap from Kendrick Lamar’s mysterious creative agency pgLang, in the same classic style that Lamar himself frequently wears. (Funnily enough, the rapper also wore a very similar Willy Chavarria jacket in his “Not Like Us” music video; Lamar and Chavarria also collaborated on a merch collection for KDot’s Super Bowl performance.)The hat choice, if you wanted to read into this sort of thing, is especially interesting given that Drake is still an executive producer on HBO’s Euphoria, on which Elordi stars as the resolutely unpleasant Nate Jacobs. The actor is still on the books to shoot the show’s beleaguered third season.
