'We designed 213 costumes and 143 pairs of shoes for this 6-minute show, while for her tour we did 140 costumes for a two-hour show.' Stylists Rob Zangardi breaks down Jlo's SuperBowl halftime show wardrobe
The Hollywood Reporter"We designed 213 costumes and 143 pairs of shoes for this 6-minute show, while for her tour we did 140 costumes for a two-hour show," says Zangardi.
Versace and Lopez have a relationship that goes back years, most recently with her fronting the Italian fashion house’s Spring 2020 campaign. "Versace was really excited to work with us and Donatella was involved from the very beginning," he adds. "We all sat down while we were shooting the campaign last year, went through our ideas and the set list, and she has been signing off on everything along the way.
When it came to the drawing board, for her first look Lopez gave Haenn and Zangardi a photo from a Marlon Brando-inspired 1991shoot by photographer Peter Lindbergh called Wild at Heart. "That was the jumping off point," says Zangardi. The suit is embellished with 12,000 pieces of silver sequins and surrounded with 15,000 Swarovski crystals all hand sewn onto a skin-tone tulle. "Versace took over an entire leather factory in Italy to create the leather pieces," says Haenn. "In total over thirty tailors and seamstresses were involved in the process and it took thousands of hours of handwork."
Because of the scale of the performance, the pair say logistics of the preparations have been staggering in their complexity. "It took 25 people over 50 hours to prepare the looks after the fittings and we’ve had 16 tailors speaking three different languages in the costume room," says Zangardi.
