Alicia Keys was hot during the 2024 Super Bowl halftime show.
The Grammy winner, 42, performed with headliner Usher in a Dolce & Gabbana design featuring a head-to-toe bejeweled red bodysuit and billowing red cape.
Her glowing skin was created by her own brand Keys Soulcare. Makeup artist Dotti used Let Me Glow Illuminating Serum followed by Skin Transformation Face Cream which she topped off with It’s Like Skin 2-in-1 Concealer + Tint in 340W and Sheer Flush Cheek Tint in Graceful to give her a glow. Keys sat at an elegant red piano at the start of her performance before shedding her cape and joining Usher for the rest of their song together.
Keys has been open about her approach to style and beauty. In the January interview with New York of The Cut magazine, she shared that she has come to accept aging.

The “If I Ain’t Got You” singer added why she alternates between no-makeup looks and glam wear. “I think it was just an awareness of how much we’ve subscribed to societal standards of beauty, and I hadn’t thought about that before. I just hadn’t thought about it,” she said.
In a previous conversation with PEOPLE about her lifestyle beauty brand, Keys Soulcare, Keys said she brought makeup back into her life on her own terms.

“I have to determine what beauty is for me. No one can tell me what it is, and I can’t tell anyone what it is either. That’s why my relationship with [makeup and beauty] came to where he is,” she told PEOPLE.
