Queen Latifah surprised the audience at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., on Sept. 10 with a live rendition of the National Anthem before the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants game — both teams opened their seasons in prime time on “Sunday Night Football,” with the Cowboys ending the night with a 40-0 victory.

Latifah performed in a pair of white combat boots that featured a black sole. The shoe style added an edgy touch to her classic look and was the perfect choice for Latifah to walk through the field on a rainy day. 

The multi-hyphenate was dressed in an ivory Gucci monogram-print suit that featured a double-breasted silhouette and front pockets. Her look was created by her longtime stylist, Jason Rembert, who has also worked with Naomi Campbell, Padma Lakshmi, Winnie Harlow, Rosario Dwason and other stars in the past.
