Maluma paired up the sporty top with a pair of black slacks and white sneakers. For a quick outfit touch-up, Maluma added on a heavily bedazzled black and silver button-down and rectangular sunglasses.
Maluma wore his hair slicked back and added in a few accessories, including a small stack of gold and diamond bracelets and diamond stud earrings.
