The Weeknd also wore a fully hand-embroidered jacket with crystals, made by the Givenchy Haute Couture atelier in Paris, which took four embroiderers more than 250 hours to complete.

The outfit was accessorised with a black leather tie and gloves, as well as black and white shoes.

Givenchy creative director Matthew Williams said: “To me, fashion is all about infusing what you wear with a unique personality, and The Weeknd brought his look to life with his energy, character and sense of style.”

The performance was  watched by an estimated audience of more than 100 million viewers who tuned in to watch the NFL championship game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.
