Beyonce’s Super Bowl style: Iguana skin, moto jacket and knee-high socks

We hope you didn’t let your pet iguana watch the Super Bowl. He might have recognized one of his friends from the desert reincarnated on Beyonce’s super-sexy bodysuit.

That’s right, the pop-star — redeeming herself with an energetic, live performance for the Super Bowl half-time show — wore a leather bodysuit that was made of pieces of python and iguana skin. (But, don’t worry — not too many of our scaly friends were scalped for the outfit as it was pretty skimpy).

Just days earlier, she admitted that she lip-synced at President Obama’s inauguration, but vowed that she would be singing live during the half-time show. She did just that, and was joined on stage with her former Destiny’s Child soul sisters Kelly Rowland Michelle Williams for an all-out hip-popping, booty-shaking, hair-whipping performance.

We’d call the half-time show a success — considering that singer M.I.A. didn’t flash us the bird and Janet Jackson didn’t just flat-out flash us.

Here are some fashion facts about Beyonce and how you can get a sultry leather look — without breaking the bank (or breaking Human Resource’s modesty rules).

• The half-time show could put New York designer Rubin Singer on the map. He designed Beyonce’s outfit with a Norse Valkyrie in mind, and also designed the costumes for her army of back-up singers.

• Beyonce’s mom has a clothing line at Wal-Mart called “Miss Tina.” One of our favorites from the line is the vivid green pencil skirt for $13.94. Tina Knowles designed and sewed clothes for her daughter and the Destiny’s Child crew when they were first getting their start.

• Moto jacket: Beyonce tossed out her cropped moto jacket into the crowd. Want one of your own? Here’s where to score your very own Beyonce-like jacket.
