Beyonce Channels Michael Jackson at Super Bowl 50



Well guys… Beyonce’s done it again.

And this time, she channeled her inner Michael Jackson, by dressing in an outfit nearly identical to the one the King of Pop wore when the Dallas Cowboys won over the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXVII on January 31, 1993.

One day after releasing a surprise video for her brand new anthem Formation,” Queen Bey performed the song during the Super Bowl 50 halftime show.

And while she didn’t quite make the electricity go out this time around, her song-and-dance situation was no less epic than it was in 2013.

Following songs by both Coldplay and Bruno Mars (best for last, amiright?), Beyonce—wearing a leather jacket with bullet details, bodysuit, fishnets, and a Michael Jackson-esque gold harness, all custom-designed by Dsquared2—appeared on the field with her legion of backup dancers, belting it out and recreating some of the intense choreography from the video.

She and Mars—both matching in their black leather and gold—shared a few cute back-and-forth moments throughout the show, while Coldplay’s Chris Martin (in a floral embroidered white tee with light-up heart at the chest) looked like his stylist didn’t quite get the memo.

In the end, Beyonce didn’t announce her second pregnancy during the performance, as rumored—but she did tell the world that she’ll be going on tour soon. We’ll take it.

Meanwhile, Bey’s baby girl Blue Ivy had her own style moment, pre-Super Bowl: Gwyneth Paltrow Instagrammed a snap of her daughter Apple holding hands with the four-year-old, seen wearing a puffy, holographic rainbow jacket, flippy black mini skirt, and hot pink sneakers.
