They opened with “Viva La Vida” followed by “Paradise” and “Adventure of a Lifetime.” Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson then performed “Uptown Funk,” and Beyoncé joined in with her new single, “Formation.”

Coldplay continued with “Fix You,” paying tribute to past halftime shows, before being joined by Beyoncé and Bruno Mars for the finale with “Up and Up.” The performance ended with the audience holding signs spelling “Believe in Love.”

Beyoncé is often spotted wearing Christian Louboutin heels, known for their iconic red soles. One memorable moment was at the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards, where she paired her sparkling Givenchy suit with Louboutin “Marlenalta” platform pumps.

She frequently complements her glamorous outfits with Louboutin heels, such as when she attended the launch of her ‘Pulse’ fragrance in 2011. The fashionable singer paired a blue sequined Roberto Cavalli mini dress with chic ‘Altadama’ peep-toe pumps, showcasing her love for the brand’s elegant designs.
