And fashion hasn’t been used in such a pointed way during the Super Bowl since Beyoncé referenced the Black Panthers in outfits and imagery during her performance of “Formation” at the 2016 game.

In September, Ms. Lopez had hinted at what was to come when she strutted down the Versace runway during Milan Fashion Week in a dress that was a homage to the navel-baring gown she wore at the Grammys 20 years ago. That got everyone’s attention — if they hadn’t already seen her star turn in “Hustlers.” Though seeing something in person versus onscreen is already different.
