To commemorate her first Super Bowl moment, Blige served up some serious style in a head-to-toe silver metallic look. She wore a long-sleeve cheetah print, white and silver embellished outfit with cut-outs till the center, and a turtleneck.
Blige went all out on her accessory as she accessorized her glittery attire with a matching cowgirl hat, gloves, and large white diamond hoop earrings. Her long sensual blond wavy hair blew in the wind as she hit high notes at the stadium.
As for footwear, the R&B singer slipped into her favorite shoe silhouette, a pair of thigh-high boots. The over-the-knee boots had a pointed-toe and a short chunky stacked heel. In a cover story with Elle in February 2022, the singer talked about her stage outfits and she personally recommended thigh-high boots as the most stylish and most comfortable footwear.
Blige's dazzling look was designed by Peter Dundas. Dundas worked closely with Blige and her stylist Jason Rembert to create the custom look which was a white and silver, mirror-embellished crop top with cutouts and matching shorts paired with thigh-high boots. The fashion designer has previously worked with Shakira for her halftime show performance in 2020 and with Jennifer Lopez, dressing the singer in an array of Swarovski crystal-embellished looks.
