Don't Miss:

Over 111.35 million viewers tuned in to watch the Super Bowl last Sunday, but Erickson Beamon’s Karen Erickson and Vicki Beamon, who designed Nicki Minaj and M.I.A.‘s elaborate half-time show headpieces, had other things on their minds. We caught up with the duo at their fall 2012 presentation to ask them what it felt like to see their jewelry on the most-watched show in TV history, and they seemed surprisingly unfazed. “I was busy working on this,” Karen Erickson said, referring to Erickson Beamon’s new ready-to-wear line. “What I did I did, and now it’s about what I’m going to do.” Vicki Beamon had a slightly more excited reaction. “We kind of knew it was going to happen,” she told InStyle.com. “We had a really big year.”

Still reeling from Madonna’s Super Bowl performance? We can’t get over how flawless the Material Girl’s hair stayed—during every pop, lock, and drop!—thanks to hairstylist, Andy LeCompte. “Madonna’s look demanded something fit for a queen,” LeCompte said. “We played with the tightness and looseness of the curls, as well as the amount of volume to see what would work best.” He started by blowing out the pop star’s hair, and then wrapped two-inch sections around a medium-barrel curling iron. He tousled and lifted strands slightly at the root to create volume. The secret weapon: A generous spritz of the Wella Professionals Stay Firm Finishing Spray ($15; wella.com) kept her Madgesty’s curls in place in front of 111.35 million viewers, cartwheel after cartwheel.

What do you wear to sing in front of millions of people? Miranda Lambert had to make that intense wardrobe decision when she sang “America the Beautiful” for the opening of Super Bowl XLVI. Lambert joined her country star (and The Voice judge) husband Blake Shelton in a black leather Jitrois jacket, red Current/Elliott jeans, Alice + Olivia pumps, dramatic Lauren Craft chandelier earrings, and Loree Rodkin jewels. “I wanted something fun and rocking—red pants are cool!” Lambert told InStyle.com exclusively. “And my earrings were my favorite.” Tiffany Gifford, Lambert’s stylist, said she was going for comfort. “The jacket hugged Miranda’s curves perfectly,” Gifford told us. “Nothing says ‘I am ready for some football’ like a little leather and bling!” What did you think of her performance look?
