Beyoncé’s Super Bowl Style With Destiny’s Child: Total Touchdown

One thing was certain going into Super Bowl XLVII: Beyoncé was going to put on a killer halftime show, and she was going to look amazing doing it. And if she practiced until her feet bled, there was no sign of it as she danced in her towering heels.

To strut out onstage during ‘Crazy In Love,’ the star wore a belted “liquid nylon” mini with a matching moto jacket by Rubin Singer, but she quickly tore it away to reveal a leather bodysuit with a black lace skirt (also by the designer) worn over her signature fishnets. She completed the look with thigh-highs and sexy black booties.

Destiny’s Child fans missing the trio’s epic matching outfits were given a treat when Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams proved the rumors true, joining Beyoncé onstage for a medley that included ‘Bootylicious’ and ‘Single Ladies.’ Their costumes echoed Bey’s: Rowland wore a revealing V-neck Emilio Pucci bodysuit, while Williams was glam in a tough-girl ribbed leather mini by Rubin Singer (who also created looks for all 120 backup dancers).

And to ensure that Beyoncé’s hair was supremely whip-able (as demonstrated during ‘Baby Boy’ and ‘Halo’), stylist Kim Kimble gave her a “soft glam” look by curling it, then brushing out the curls and smoothing them with Kimble Hair Care Brazilian Nut and Acai serum. She sprayed it with L’Oréal’s classic Elnett hairspray to ensure it wouldn’t budge no matter what the superstar put it through.

Tell us: What did you think of Beyoncé’s Super Bowl outfit — and the Destiny’s Child reunion looks?

SHE IS SUCH A CRAZY GAL..BUT LOVE HER STYLE..YOU GO GIRL..

Jo on

Very very very disappointed! She really didn’t sing of course she only knows how to shake it!!

Guest on

It looked like a glorified Zumba class!

guest on

That’s about all she can do is shake it and fling her hair in circles. Bring back Prince!!

A on

Even though she is a good dancer, The lights, special effects, and backup dancers seem to put on more of a show

Mik on

According to everyone on facebook the half time show was horrible.

leslie on

total touchdown?? Beyonce gave shouts out to the crowd more than she sang. I have always been a fan but I never knew that she was lip synching until tonight. she performed live and she definitely was not the awesome B as usual.

Annie on

Not impressed with her halftime performance. Only good if you like hair tossing!

JanieB on

Beyonce is a faker!!! She doesn’t sing live. Ask the President.

Vanessa on

I don’t understand the big hype about her! I think she sucks! She can’t even sing, she has to lip sync!

Brandy on

her dance moves were the best part!

Lacey on

BLAH….

Katina on

Wow! It amazes me how people can’t do anything but hate on other people. She killed at the halftime show!!! You hateful people just go away!!!

unique on

Wow stop h a tin she rocks so hard

Nichole on

It is amazing everyone has these negative comments. You all lack more than half the talent as she. Beyonce did an incredible job. AND she sang LIVE! Only negative people who envy others HATE.

Marilyn on

Her performance was so-so. It wasn’t anything to write home about.

lilah on

The special effects were the best. Loved the DC reunion.

Didiwags on

No she didnt. She barely sang and just shook her a$$!!! The light affects where the most interesting part of the show!

Roxanne on

Boring performance. I watched last years performance of Madonna who was amazing and truly knows how to entertain. Beyonce had really big shoes to fill and just couldn’t do it.

jackie on

ho Hum

Leslie Stein on

There was no live singing or music obviously. All that was missing was a stripper pole-would have been perfect with all the pelvic grinding she did that passes as dancing. A lot of glitz but virtually no substance and very low on entertainment value.

patrice on

Beyonce KILLED it! I dont understand the negative comments! Beyonce cant sing? Oh please

KiKi on

Wow. I must have been watching a completely different show that most commenting here. My husband & I totally loved it! Her choreography is part of her “show”. She is one sexy, talented performer! DC I could have done without. She can handle it all on her on.

tiffany on

Beyonce rules the world and she ruled the super bowl, stop the hate. DC reunion was the best moment of the night.

Olivia on

Please..all butt, no chest acting like a loon.

nadia on

I’m sorry, but I just have to say that beyonce was totally hot. Now to just be able to get my hands on that outfit…

Ann on

The whole half time show was horrible. Beyonce is nothing. All her songs sound the same. The only thing she knows how to do is bounce around on the stage with very little clothes on. She really didn’t even sing tonight.

long live queen bey! on

She sounded great, and was obviously live. Are people blind/deaf?!?!?! she sang AND danced incredibly. No one in the business has her tenacity or stage presence. She just killed it, it’s not even up for discussion. My entire facebook page is just comments about how amazing she is. Long live queen bey!

lynn on

Nice dancing, but not much singing until last song. Do think she’s a bit old for those clothes. She’s a mom and needs to take her performance in another direction IMO. I would rather have seen Blake Shelton/Miranda Lambert

D M on

Beyonce and her dancers looked like a group of hookers. The only talent evident was her ability to whip her hair. Did she take lessons from Willow Smith?

Sass027 on

I always thought she looked like a man, this picture proves my point.

Dee on

LOVE LOVE LOVE BEYONCE, IN YOUR FACE HATERS!!!!! GO BADDIE BEY!!!!!

Ami on

I only saw the last 5 minutes….but that was enough for me to be impressed. And that’s coming from someone who is not her fan. The parts she sang, she sang live. When you know the technicalities of music, it’s noticeable. But, that’s just my own humble opinion. I respect those who didn’t like it. To each our own, right?

Ilovetorun on

Very disappointing. She looked like a stripper. What kind of role model are you to young girls/women?

cloudninegirl on

You should read the newsfeed on Facebook about Beyonce .. EVERYONE HATED HER PERFORMANCE ..

Tracie on

Sorry but she looked like a dominatrix reject. Over hyped and far too in love with herself to realize she’s become a joke.

Barbara Bursey on

That was the one of the worst shows I have seen, looked like a runway for Victoria’s Secret. She looks very good but that was all.

Flying Files on

Not a great half time show. Really don’t think Beyonce shakin’ her big thighs and booty around is too impressive! She’s a decent singer (when she sings live) but at the end of her performance it looked a cheerleader routine. Not sure what all the hype is about her.

That New Yorker Guy on

Congratulations sweet, sexy caramel Beyonce!
Your performance was so hot & electrifying,
it knocked the damn lights out!

Eww on

That’s what you do when you can’t sing….You take your clothes and act like a hooker. SMH. How embarrassing for everyone.

nikedog@comcast.net on

Get over it!! She came out and entertained!! That’s her job and she did it. I was satisfied. It looked harder on her, having to sing and dance, but overall, I think she did a great job.

nikedog@comcast.net on

Get over it!!! Her job was to entertain and I think overall the crowd was pleased! I know I can’t sing and dance at the same time. She did, and that’s that!!!

Chele on

Beautiful woman, but way too much hair swirling and shaking. Would have loved to hear more of her voice and less pelvis action. Lacked alittle substance, thank goodness for back up dancers, and DC reunion.

Lala on

She sang the same old songs-nothing special. She needs some new material.

Maria on

Please bring back PRINCE! Beyonce barely sang, walking around in that ridiculous outfit and her voice….horrible!Sandy Hook children stole the show, along with Jennifer Hudson and Alicia Keys.

Tiffany on

Once again… It proved that she can’t sing and only dances to make up for it. Go back to being best friends with the First Lady!!!

Harper on

As always beyonce Rules!!!!!Haters go pray you need help! Negativity what a horrible virus !!!

Les on

Halftime sucked and so did she!

Barbara on

Couldn’t understand her words and don’t understand why she tries to be so sexy. There are women and children watching you know! The hair tossing was overdone.

Mehtap on

What is wrong with her. !!! Didn’t even sing .. Soooo disappointed ..

Carrie on

I like Beyonce. Have many of her songs on my phone. Have to say wasn’t all that impressed with halftime show. Until DC wasn’t much singing going on. Only a line or 2 here and there. Dancing was fantastic but after the whole lip syncing scandal I thought there would have been more singing to prove the haters wrong.

Makoto on

Are they still considered thigh highs even if they started just above the kneecap, and ended up below the knee?

Lisa G. on

Boring!!! What a waste of a half time. Obviously People needs to poll their readers who don’t feel she did such a great job.

bubbanelson on

lip syncing fraud

Jazmin on

I absolutely loved the halftime show. I would also love to know where she got her whole outfit.

phil on

??? This article was obviously gleaned from a pre-digested press piece, most likely fashioned by Beyonces’ press agents. I am a fan of the lady, but…anyone could see that this show was…BORING. She did NOT score a touchdown. That show was a letdown that did not live up to its’ hype.

dariana on

That was not a halftime show it was a concert, very disappointed, and overrated!

epmmrp on

She could not hold a candle to Jennifer and Alicia

moni on

This was easily the BEST halftime show of all time. It doesn’t get any better than Beyonce and she didn’t disappoint! Incredible!

Bunky on

Are you kidding me? That was an AMAZING show! She was singing live and incredibly well, she danced fabulously, the effects were crazy good. And she is just plain gorgeous to look at! What’s the matter with you people? Oh wait, you’re the ones who have something negative to say about everything. Never mind.

Kay on

Disappointing show!!! What a waste of time to watch it. Rather watch Madonna any day over her!!!! She may be beautiful even though her costume was inappropriate but her performance sucked!!!

mytwocents on

She is talented & I thought she did well but thought the show underwhelmed…

Tasteless on

Have some dignity… If not for yourself, then for your child. Put some clothes on! Also, there are ways to dance that don’t include moves used in strip clubs. Instead of evolving as a singer, she is evolving in to a street walker.

Beylova on

Of course it’s all these racist people that have all negative things to say. Her performance was awesome. I guess you would have preferred boring, lip singing azz Madonna who can’t even dance. Unbelievable. Give credit where credit is due

Anita on

This is the first post where I see so many ppl saying they hated her performance. Maybe you all were watching the puppy bowl bc what I saw was fantastic! It was A LOT better than Madonna’s, The Who, or Tom Petty and the Heartbreaker’s show. Or maybe bc she is black and she supports our president is the reason for all the hate. Smh.

Tawny Jones on

Beyonce was tawdry & sleazy, just like Madonna & Janet Jackson before her. Super Bowl half-time plays to cretins of the lowest order.

Carol on

She did sing, she can dance…but come on it is not a dancing show she is suppose to sing also….

Christine on

Really, really dull. Absolutely one of the most boring halftime shows to date. Hair tossing, shaking her booty, and lame special effects. Love her music, but not a good show. At all. Even the DC reunion paled in comparison to the hype.

derft on

Big deal – she’s a good dancer – can’t sing and she DID NOT delivery that baby!!!!

Sara on

She didn’t sing, she danced. Of all the Destony Child’s songs they could have sung they sang one of Beyonce’s songs instead. Why on earth she picked Halo, a slow song to close out the performances is beyond me.

Maria on

I don’t know what the hype is here. Why people is running with this subject as if this was an awesome show. She she danced, did nothing special but to toss her hair back and forth. What exactly was so special? That the other 2 showed up? Please! Don’t insult the people who love the game and want to see a good half time..

Maria on

I found her performance to be very self absorbed too! Even her stage, 2 profiles of her!

Hope on

That show was not good , epic nor did it rock. The outfits were typical. It was a bad show and no matter what the “media” tries to say it will not change the fact that the show was a major failure. I hate that but its the truth. Quit trying to make it something it was definitely NOT. IF this MEDIA will LIE about a half time show what else will it lie about people. For goodness sake it was a bad concert and they still suggest it was good. I dont get it.

jaci on

it was burlesque on steroids. SO surprised the men loved it… ;)

Lori on

Are you kidding People? That was the best game in a long long time. Beyonce was a side note.

Nan on

Such haters on this commet site. For all you B haters out there.. you can kick rocks. You know that girl dazzled you last night. You just hating because you can’t shake, rock & roll like she can. It was pure entertainment and that what a half time show is all about. You rock B!!! Keep up the good work, and kick the haters to the side.

Fran on

YOU GO QUEEN B!!!! YOU KILLED IT GIRL. DO YOU AND FORGET THE REST.

Amber on

Its not as good as everybody said it was

Gina on

Vanessa, I couldn’t agree with you more!

HJ Michaels on

I liked the Puppy Bowl better. The half-time with the kittens was the best!

fanofboardwalkempire on

Beyonce rocked the house!

KC on

More like a fumble than a touchdown.

Jennifer Grimm on

I don’t know what y’all are talking about…she was not lip syncing! She definitely knows how to move and scored more touchdowns than both teams combined!!!

annynonomous on

Pole dancing routine.

Why doesnt she take off all her clothes, mime to 2 second sound bytes of “music” while fireworks go off.

Fake, and tarty.

me on

Interesting how they’re calling Beyonce’s monster weave “her hair.”

linda on

@Bunky… they’re the ones sitting on the couch who can’t sing or dance, yet like to criticize those that can. I don’t listen to pop music and I’m no Beyonce fan, but what she does, she does well. She is an entertainer! Not just a singer. Now I personally don’t like the skimpy outfits, but that seems to be what they’re all wearing now.

Danielle on

Beyonce sang too many song in one segment, she was angry at us because we discovered that she lie, more than one time and she does it, that fake hair , fake pregnancy, we are not fools…..your time is up. retire, You were lucky that they did not boo you, but the lightsd went out……what a coincidence, you are out, like the lights last night.

chereeguitar on

Beyonce and the ladies just NAILED IT at the Superbowl halftime show! It brought tears to my eyes to see her performing her heart out! I think she showed Madonna what a half-time show is SUPPOSED to be like… but let’s face it, Beyonce’s a bit younger than Madonna [ahem!]
