The 2024 Super Bowl halftime show was set on fire by none other than the hitmaker Alicia Keys.
The Grammy-winning artist delivered a stunning performance alongside headliner Usher, leaving the audience in awe. However, it was not just her incredible vocal skills that stole the show; Keys dazzled in a show-stopping red ensemble that added more spice to her performance.
Designed by fashion powerhouse Dolce & Gabbana, Keys donned a bejeweled head-to-toe red bodysuit and a billowing red cape. The bold choice perfectly suited her charismatic persona and added an element of grandeur to her performance.
She looked like a true goddess, donning the vibrant shade with confidence and grace.
But it wasn’t just her outfit that radiated beauty. Keys’ flawless complexion was enhanced using products from her very own skincare line, Keys Soulcare.
Renowned makeup artist Dotti used the Let Me Glow Illuminating Serum to give her skin a radiant, lit-from-within glow. This was followed by the application of the Skin Transformation Face Cream, providing hydration and a smooth canvas for makeup.
To achieve the perfect base, Dotti used the “It’s Like Skin 2-in-1 Concealer + Tint” in the shade 340W. This blendable formula provided coverage while still allowing Keys’ natural beauty to shine through. To add a touch of color and highlight her cheekbones, Dotti applied the Sheer Flush Cheek Tint in the shade of grace, giving her a healthy and youthful glow.
As the performance kicked off, Keys captivated the audience from behind a sleek red piano. The elegant instrument served as a beautiful backdrop for her soulful melodies. However, it wasn’t long before she shed her cape and joined Usher on stage, captivating the crowd with their electrifying chemistry.
Beyond her mesmerizing performance, Alicia Keys has been an advocate for embracing natural beauty and challenging societal standards of aging.
In a recent interview with New York-based magazine The Cut, she shared her belief that individuals become more beautiful as they age. According to Keys, the aging process opens the heart and enhances one’s inner qualities, leading to a sense of strength and beauty.
The superstar also discussed her evolving perspective on makeup and beauty. She revealed that she hadn’t given much thought to societal expectations previously but has since become aware of the pressure to conform.
As a result, Keys embraces both the makeup-free look and glamorous aesthetics, asserting her independence from imposed beauty standards.
