A year prior, for Super Bowl 50, Beyoncé co performed with Coldplay and Bruno Mars but stole the show, wearing a custom military inspired look by DSquared2; Queen Bey also served up an all leather look by Rubin Singer in 2013 for her solo show, though she did bring out fellow Destiny’s Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams for a welcome surprise. As for more retro fashion hits from past Super Bowls? It’s hard not to think of a halftime show without mentioning the most discussed performance of all time when Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson took the stage together. Wardrobe malfunction aside, Jackson’s leather Alexander McQueen costume has since become an iconic piece of pop culture. Equally as historical is when Prince performed in 2007 in a turquoise suit, bright orange shirt, and leopard print guitar strap a spiffy look that the late singer continued to rock even during the surprise downpour. The show must go on, as they say!
Silhouette can truly make or break a look. This week, the best dressed stars proved this axiom by embracing looks that were perfectly tailored to them. Whether it was a floor length gown or a statement suit, these stylish celebrities slipped into ensembles that had definitive structure to them, whether it be sexy cutouts, sleek back capes, or oversized floral details (like the giant flower Harry Styles wore around his neck at the 2023 Brit Awards). There was definitely a sense of drama on the carpets these past few days. At the premiere of her new Marvel movie Ant Man and the Wasp Quantumania in L.A., actor Evangeline Lilly leaned into whimsy via her minty Giambattista Valli gown, complete with a feathered neckline and sleeves. At the Brit Awards, Jodie Turner Smith opted for silver metallics instead, with a Zuhair Murad gown which had a sweeping train and cutouts. Cate Blanchett also shined in silver at the 2023 Santa Barbara Film Festival, though her Louis Vuitton number had an asymmetrical sleeve and hemline, revealing her saucy thigh high boots underneath.
