Jhené Aiko nailed the challenge of her Super Bowl performance debut as she blew fans away with her impressive vocals on Sunday. The singer looked as incredible as she sounded in a floor-sweeping, burgundy sequined gown featuring an alluring high slit. Adding her own flair to the iconic song “America the Beautiful,” Aiko commanded the audience with her red-carpet-worthy look as she recited the lyrics written by Katharine Lee Bates in 1895, set to music by Samuel A. Ward. The design of London-based label David Koma, the formfitting maxi dress included long sleeves and a gathered neck, with a floor-length hem that pooled elegantly at Aiko’s feet. Equally as stunning was the jewelry that accessorized her left ear, which the 33-year-old singer put on full display as she kept her hair tucked behind it.
If Aiko was nervous about the show, she certainly didn’t give it away. She stood there with confidence and brought home a career-making performance. Ahead, see the head-turning ensemble from all angles.
