Who Won the Super Bowl Halftime Show? Mary J. Blige & Her Sparkly, Leopard-Print Outfit

This year's Super Bowl halftime show was a star-studded spectacle, with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and 50 Cent performing a collection of some of their biggest hits.

But while the elaborate performance included L.A.-inspired sets, intricate dance numbers and moving pictures that looked straight out of a Harry Potter movie, we were also dazzled by the fashion. And if one star were to take the prize, we would have to give it to Blige for her sparkly, monochromatic ’fit.

The 51-year-old singer looked incredible as she sported an all-white ensemble covered in a silvery leopard print. The metallic outfit included thigh-high boots, hot pants and a lace-up, long sleeve top. For part of the performance, Blige also added a cowboy hat.

A clip of Blige's outfit was posted to the NFL Instagram account, where they said, “Mary J. Blige just stole the #PepsiHalftime show! @therealmaryjblige.” In this close-up, we get a better view of singer and we can also see that she sported white, fingerless gloves.

Of course, we would be remiss not to mention the R&B artist's gorgeous, wavy blonde locks. In an interview with Vogue, her hairstylist, Tym Wallace, discussed the process of styling the “Rapunzel-like” waves. “Mary is the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul, so I wanted to let that show in her hair,” he said. “I’d originally requested 50 inches, and we settled at 40 inches! I darkened the roots up and ended the shadow a little lower than usual because the hair is so long...It’s super edgy, but still so beautiful.”

Way to kill it, Mary J. Blige.
