The Best Super Bowl Beauty Looks: Emily Ratajkowski, Lady Gaga, and more

Whether you were cheering for a favorite team or merely waiting for the year’s best commercials during the Super Bowl tonight, there was plenty of Instagram surfing to be done between touchdowns. And while the year’s biggest sporting event may seem an unlikely place to serve up real-world beauty inspiration, its football-loving models and It girl fans did just that, documenting their seriously sporty take on glamour, complete with braids, blowouts, and bodaciously toned bodies on social media.

Conjuring supermodel spirit in spades, Alessandra Ambrosio made the case for a pre-game workout, playfully showcasing her sculpted form in a padded football uniform on an unspecified field. High in the stands in Houston, on the other hand, Emily Ratajkowski took second-day hair to new heights with sun-kissed skin and effortlessly slept-in waves, demonstrating why one should never underestimate the power of a travel-sized dry shampoo.

While she’s blessed with some of the world's best genes, Vivian Brady raised the bar on her hair game while waiting for her quarterback dad to take the field, as captured by her famous mom, Gisele Bündchen. But it was the woman of the hour, Lady Gaga, who showed what the right beauty prep can do: She warmed up for the performance of a lifetime, practicing her signature dance moves with a Dyson hair dryer turned personal wind-machine that gave new meaning to the motto, “clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose.”
