A Dazzling Display: Katy Perry’s Extravaganza of Four Ensembles and 22,000 Crystals during the Super Bowl Halftime Spectacle

Katy Perry started her Super Bowl halftime show with an impressive display of pyrotechnics, including more than just flames and fireworks. The 30-year-old singer wore four different outfits, all designed by Jeremy Scott, while performing a mashup of her greatest hits. She was joined on stage by Lenny Kravitz and Missy Elliot for cameo appearances. Each outfit change was timed with the transition between songs, and each song had its own set and backup dancers.

Jeremy Scott, the designer behind Moschino, created all four outfits for Katy Perry. The first outfit included a three-dimensional flame design and custom boots adorned with 12,600 Swarovski crystals. While wearing this fiery dress, Katy Perry performed alongside Lenny Kravitz, who sported a leather jacket and sunglasses. They transitioned from singing “Roar” to “I Kissed A Girl”.
