An exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at how Mary J. Blige’s SuperBowl look came together
for the big night. “It’s ghetto fabulous.” If it was up to Wallace, it would’ve been even longer: When he and Blige discussed their vision for the night, her only stipulation was that her hair wasn’t too long for her to comfortably move around the stage. “We reached a compromise,” laughs Wallace. “I’d originally requested 50 inches, and we settled at 40 inches!” It wasn’t just Blige’s length and texture that was modified for the occasion, but her platinum blonde.
Of being part of this moment, one word sums it up for Wallace: Surreal. “I never would have foreseen being a part of the Super Bowl,” says Wallace, who was first introduced to Blige by Taraji P. Henson four years ago in his hometown of Chicago, and then further connected by stylist Law Roach. “You imagine the Grammys, red carpets, editorials, covers….
But more than anything, Wallace is reveling in the significance of what it means to see Blige and her peers on the world’s biggest stage. “It’s a historical performance we haven’t seen and it's happening during Black History Month,” says Wallace. “It’s an amazing moment for the culture.”
