Beyoncé’s Super Bowl Designer Answers All Our Burning Questions

Beyoncé put a new designer on the map last night.

For her Super Bowl halftime spectacular, she and everyone else on stage wore costumes by New York-based designer Rubin Singer–not Givenchy, not Mugler, but 34-year-old Rubin Singer, whose eponymous line is just six years old.
