For Diamond & Estate Trust , the highlight of Super Bowl XLVI wasn’t the last-minute touchdown that had the New York Giants trumping the New England Patriots yet again, or the much anticipated commercials. Instead, it was Madonna’s Halftime Show outfit – and her bold custom accessories – that had us cheering. It’s no surprise that Madonna’s return to the stage was a lavish affair. The icon had three costumes, each custom-designed by Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy Haute Couture and accented by brilliant accessories. And the most brilliant accessory of all was undoubtedly the diva’s million-dollar, 19.6 carat Bulgari diamond earrings that are rumored to have belonged to jewelry goddess Elizabeth Taylor . Each stunning earring features horizontal baguette shaped diamonds and three hanging strands of round white diamonds in varying sizes. Amid three on-stage costume switches and more song changes than we can count, these Bulgari earrings provided a constant, brilliant shine that followed the singer throughout the entire Halftime Show. When it came to her three Givenchy looks, Madonna chose a high-drama, gold and black color palate. Her first outfit’s Egyptian flair was accented by a dramatic crystal-covered gold headpiece from designer Philip Treacy. The singer then changed into a black mini-dress, a look that was likewise defined by heavy gold accessories: A bold, hand-studded and hand-embroidered Gladiator belt with removable flaps was powerful and edgy. In her last outfit, Madonna performed her iconic hit “Like A Prayer” in a black silk robe hand-embroidered with black rectangular sequins and micro pearls. Bravo to wardrobe designer Riccardo Tisci and the singer herself for making these dramatic costume changes appear so effortless. With those Bulgari earrings and three dramatic Givenchy outfits in her arsenal, it’s no wonder Madonna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show was the most exciting in recent memory. Want to find accessories luxurious enough for the big stage?
