The Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show saw Usher headlined performing a set list with classic hits including ‘Caught Up,’ ‘U Don’t Have to Call,’ ‘ Superstar,’ ‘Love in This Club,’ ‘If I Ain’t Got You,’ and ‘My Boo’ with Alicia Keys, ‘Confessions Part II,’ ‘Nice & Slow,’ ‘Burn,’ ‘U Got It Bad,’ ‘OMG,’ ‘Turn Down for What,’ and ‘Yeah!’

Some of the songs barely got to the chorus, but when you have a back catalogue as strong as Usher’s and you only have 13 minutes, you gotta move fast.

And it wasn’t only the songs that came in quick succession, the outfits did too.

His opening custom look from Dolce & Gabbana was a three for one, as the singer removed layers – each more decorative than the last.

After removing the coat decorated with Swarovski crystals, pearls, and leaf and floral baroque motifs with dragonflies, we saw a custom asymmetrical bomber jacket with a phoenix pin encrusted with diamonds and rubies.

After the singer removed the bomber jacket he unveiled a custom vest entirely hand embroidered in Swarovski crystals on top of a Marcello ribbed tank top, which was also removed, so I guess it was eventually a four for one look.

For the final act after H.E.R.’s incredible guitar solo, Usher returned on stage wearing a custom Off-White look inspired by the Men’s Spring 2023 collection which fused the Off-White™ signature street style with the American biker world.

As there was no peeling back of this look, so the label etched abs into the top.

This was the part of the show where Usher was roller skate dancing, while singing live.  What a truly amazing performance this was.

Usher’s band wore total Dolce & Gabbana looks.
