Beyoncé Uses Her Halftime Outfit to Send Out a Very Important Message

Yes, Beyoncé has performed in her fair share of bodysuits. But while past costumes have revolved around showing off her sexy curves and killer dance moves, Beyoncé's Super Bowl outfit was an homage to Michael Jackson. The King of Pop took the halftime show by storm back in 1993 wearing an ornate, military-inspired blazer featuring details similar to the ones that embellished Beyoncé's Dsquared2 leather jacket. Read on to compare both memorable ensembles, zoom in on all the little details — like Beyoncé's Lorraine Schwartz 18-carat gold football studs and jewels and Christian Louboutin booties — plus see the designer sketch of the look Queen Bey wore to dominate the stage alongside Coldplay and Bruno Mars.
