Mary J. Blige brought the drama, glitz, glamour and soul to the SBLVI halftime show!
. ET chatted with Mary J's stylist, Jason Rembert, who broke down how the shining ensemble was created.Mary J rocked a white-and-silver custom long sleeve crop top with lace-up detailing, paired with matching boy-short, a fedora style hat, Dundas by Sergio Rossi crystal toe cap thigh-high boots and car gloves, which were all embellished in silver animalier patterned mirrors, Swarovski crystals and pearl beadwork.
"I reached out to some of my favorite designers and put this great mood board together that embodies Mary J. Blige currently, who she was as an artist and with her album out now to kind of be in unison with that," he shares."It was important for her to be her, and whichever brand she works with as a collaboration rather than this is her design. So it was cool, great colorwise, we're always pushing for color but we didn’t go with a bright color like I thought we would.
Rembert reveals that they made five look options for the Super Bowl, before narrowing it down to what she wore. However, the ensemble she rocked was also made in purple instead of the silver and cream."Mary was feeling it from day one. I knew the cream was going to be hot, I just knew it worked," Rembert says."Sometimes it’s not about making it what you want to make it, it’s about what’s best for us as a team, we're all making what’s best for Mary.
"The boots that Mary is wearing for the Super Bowl is actually made out of leather. We put the embroidery on top of it, super intricate embroidery and the heel is still a high heel because Mary can run in heels, so I was still confident about her wearing a heel because she’s performing on a rooftop," he details."She’s still able to be her, be authentic, able to have balance with the size of the heel just to give her a little bit more.
The outfit also had gloves, which blended into the overall look."You probably won’t be able to notice it, but there is a mic pack sleeve on the back of the suit that's also encrusted with the same material," the stylist adds, also touching on the hat Mary later put on during the show.
