At Super Bowl LX, the huge game between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks at Levi’s Stadium, Coco Jones didn’t just deliver a stunning rendition of “Lift Every Voice and Sing” ahead of kickoff — she also made a style statement with deep meaning by channeling one of the most iconic looks in Super Bowl history.

Jones’s all-white outfit was designed with hip-hop fashion legend Karl Kani and was a respectful, creative nod to the way Whitney Houston dressed when she performed “The Star-Spangled Banner” at Super Bowl XXV in 1991.

• A crisp white cropped jacket and flowing white skirt echoed Whitney’s classic all-white tracksuit and headband from that unforgettable performance.
• The look was updated with red, black and green Pan-African colors bedazzling the sleeve — a subtle but powerful symbol of Black pride and cultural resonance, especially during Black History Month.
• Even her white headband was a clear wink to Whitney’s original on-field style.

By taking inspiration from Houston’s wardrobe — not just borrowing it — Coco crafted something that felt both historic and current. It was a way of honoring one of the greatest Super Bowl musical moments ever while still celebrating who she is as a Black artist today.

And we can't forget to mention, that Jones' mic was on! Her vocals were flawless and what we've come to expect from Jones.
