"    Photo: Getty Images   A live-singing Beyonc\u00E9 took the Super Bowl stage last night for a halftime performance that both reunited Destiny&amp;#039;s Child and was so electric, it may have contributed to the stadium&amp;#039;s ensuing blackout. Rubin Singer dressed the pop star for the occasion, and had been working on the her look\u2014an armor-inspired leather bodysuit with black lace panels, a cropped leather motorcycle jacket, and a micro-mini skirt\u2014since Thanksgiving, with no less than five fittings and 200 hours spent creating the pieces. &amp;quot;My seamstresses were assembling all of the leather and exotic skins individually by hand,&amp;quot; Singer said. &amp;quot;All of the pieces were constructed on her body, [and] we had to make the body suit have a tremendous range of motion and flexibility.&amp;quot;    The stage costumes are based on Singer&amp;#039;s upcoming Fall 2013 collection, influenced by Norse mythology, Helmut Newton imagery, and Marlene Dietrich&amp;#039;s play on masculine and feminine. The designer also created Michelle Williams&amp;#039;s halftime look and the jackets for the show&amp;#039;s 120 backup dancers.  Photo: Rubin Singer "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
