Fashion has drastically evolved throughout the years, especially at the Super Bowl. Who knew that a sports event could have so much impact on the fashion world? Stars like Prince and Lady Gaga wore bold and beautiful pieces which illuminated the stage. We, of course, adore the performances themselves, but the outfits are the cherry on top. As another Super Bowl quickly approaches, let's take a trip down memory lane and recall some of the most memorable halftime outfits. 

1996: Diana Ross at Super Bowl XXX

Although we're not certain who the designer is, it would be tragic not to include these iconic Halftime Show outfits. Diana Ross opened her show wearing a huge, metallic cloak and later changed into a strapless orange and magenta gown.

Britney Spears was the face of Y2K, and her style still lives on in today's fashion world. Her outfit choice for the 2001 Super Bowl Halftime Show wasn't really out there for her standards, but it's not every day that you see someone wearing a tube arm sock.

2004: Janet Jackson at Super Bowl XXXVIII

Although her performance is mostly remembered for the infamous wardrobe malfunction, Janet Jackson looked powerful in her dominatrix-inspired outfit and definitely showed the world she belongs on the stage.
