Amanda Gorman Showed Up to Honour Heroes at the Super Bowl in a Majestic Blue Coat

08/02/2021 - 12:26 AM

Amanda Gorman [1] recited her poem "Chorus of the Captains" [2] during the Super Bowl LV [3] pre-show on Sunday, right ahead of the big game. Amanda's pre-recorded performance honoured three American heroes amid the COVID pandemic: a teacher, a Marine veteran, and a Tampa nurse. She certainly wore the most majestic outfit for this moment: an icy blue, textured leather trench with rhinestone embellishments on the lapels of the collar. The jacket had a metallic sheen, which played up the pearls on her headband — a hair accessory that is certainly becoming her signature after having worn an ornate crown for her cover of Time magazine [4] and a red Prada headband at the presidential inauguration [5]. She finished her Super Bowl look with silver hoop earrings.

Amanda has cemented her place in the fashion world, already having signed with IMG Models [6] for her industry ventures, and maintaining her position as a respectable muse of Miuccia Prada's. It should come as no surprise that her Super Bowl look was right on the money — regal, yet playful; impactful, yet light, as if to say, "why, of course poetry should be a part of this moment where we have gathered to honour those on the frontlines, and I'll wear a damn good outfit to show up for them!" Watch Gorman's poem above, then enjoy a few angles of her look in the slideshow ahead.
