"Is she wearing her dad's suit": Fans give mixed reaction to Halsey's dress up for the SNL 50th anniversary special

The SNL 50th anniversary celebrations continued with the anniversary specials held on February 16, 2025, where stars swooped down on the Rockefeller Plaza in New York City to celebrate half a century of Lorne Michaels’ iconic sketch comedy show. Halsey, who has made several guest appearances on the show, appeared at the celebratory event in a baggy navy blue suit.
