Tee Time Meets Trend Watch: Inside Happy Gilmore 2’s Style Revolution
Darlings, hold onto your designer golf visors because Netflix just dropped the most delicious morsel of cinematic fashion news since Margot Robbie made pink the new black. The streaming giant’s Christmas surprise – a trailer for “Happy Gilmore 2” – isn’t just any sequel announcement; it’s a full-blown style resurrection that’s got the fashion world buzzing like sample sale day at Bergdorf’s.
Adam Sandler, our unexpected style chameleon, is stepping back into those golf shoes (which we’re desperately hoping get a 2025 upgrade from possibly Gucci or Tom Ford) alongside a cast that reads like a front row at Fashion Week. The incomparable Julie Bowen returns, and darlings, can we talk about how her 90s looks from the original film have literally inspired half of this season’s Y2K revival?
But what’s making the fashion set absolutely lose their Prada headbands is the addition of Bad Bunny to the cast. The Puerto Rican superstar, who’s been serving lewks at every Met Gala and has single-handedly made maximalism mainstream again, is bound to bring his signature flair to the country club scene. And let’s not forget Margaret Qualley, fashion’s favorite indie darling who’s never met a Chanel moment she didn’t absolutely own.
The real style surprise, however, comes in the form of Travis Kelce – yes, that Travis Kelce. The NFL titan and Taylor Swift’s beau (whose relationship has given us more coordinated couple style moments than we can count) is making his silver screen debut. His first line delivery in the teaser already has us envisioning a whole new era of athleisure-meets-formal-wear that could revolutionize golf course attire as we know it.
Speaking of style evolution, seeing Christopher McDonald return as Shooter McGavin has us wondering if the classic golf villain will be trading in his dated polos for something more Tom Ford-esque. And with Benny Safdie joining the ensemble fresh from making Sandler look criminally chic in “Uncut Gems,” we’re expecting nothing less than a complete reimagining of country club couture.
