Coco Jones and her incredible Super Bowl performance are all anyone can talk about today. Before the kickoff at Super Bowl LX, Coco took the field to perform a soulful and stirring rendition of Lift Every Voice and Sing, and while her vocals were flawless, it was her fashion choice that truly stole our hearts. In a beautiful tribute to the late, great Whitney Houston, Coco Jones channeled the icon’s legendary 1991 Super Bowl appearance, proving once again that she knows how to honor those who paved the way.

If you were around in 1991, you remember Whitney Houston stepping onto the field in that simple yet iconic white tracksuit and headband to sing the National Anthem. For her 2026 appearance, Coco collaborated with hip hop fashion pioneer Karl Kani to reimagine that moment for a new generation. The custom ensemble featured a crisp white cropped jacket and a stunning high low bubble skirt with a dramatic train.

The attention to detail was absolutely chef’s kiss. Coco rocked the signature thick white headband and even included red and green stripes on her sleeves as a nod to the Pan-African flag. It was a perfect blend of sporty chic and high glamour that felt both nostalgic and modern.

Coco has been a force since we first saw her on our screens, and she gives her all to everything she puts her name on. Performing the Black National Anthem during Black History Month is a huge responsibility, and Coco handled it with the grace of a true veteran. She mentioned in interviews leading up to the game that she felt a deep connection to the lyrics and the lineage of performers who came before her.

By choosing to mirror Whitney Houston’s most famous sports moment, Coco wasn’t just wearing an outfit; she was making a statement about Black excellence and the enduring power of our icons. She looked exactly like the star she is, and we couldn’t be more proud to see her shining on such a massive stage.
