To promote her performance, the star made an exciting appearance as she attended the Super Bowl LVII Apple Music Halftime Show press conference held at the Phoenix Convention Center on Thursday.

For the eagerly-awaited occasion, Rihanna once again asserted her authority in the wardrobe department, wearing a flitty croc-effect skirt featuring gaping side-slits and a greyscale effect. She paired the whimsical piece with a black bustier and layered up in a matte black jacket showcasing a thick lining of silver fur.

All eyes fell on the singer's melodramatic shoe choice – a pair of coordinating croc-effect heels with straps that coiled up her calves.

She wore her raven hair slicked back into a cascading braid with two straightened wisps shaping her famous features. A glamorous makeup look was the palette of choice and consisted of a buttery skin tone, a bold red lip, and a peachy eyeshadow blend.

Rihanna will perform during the break when the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, which will mark her live return since bowing out of the limelight in 2016. The chart-topper has not toured or released an album since 2016's Anti, instead channeling her energy into her fashion brand and welcoming her firstborn into the world.
