Ice Spice attended the Super Bowl LVIII in style thanks to Opium.

Ice, 24, and Swift, 34, were also joined by the “Cruel Summer” singer’s mom Andrea Swift, Blake Lively, and Ashley Avignone as the group made their way to their suite ahead of the Big Game. Once seated in their private area, the party began with a who’s who of celebs!

Rapper Ice Spice made headlines at this year’s star-studded Super Bowl, where she was spotted alongside Taylor Swift, for the religious imagery in her jewelry rather than her scene-stealing style. While this controversial inverted cross is more commonly known as the Cross of Saint Peter, a symbol of the apostle’s martyrdom in Catholicism, conspiracy theorists on social media were quick to brand it as Satanic.

The jewelry piece was made of black gold, 20 pointer diamonds, and also features natural baby pink-hued pink sapphires, with both materials being used in Moss’ forthcoming collection. While Moss didn’t reveal the cost of the jewelry, instead calling it “priceless,” Ice Spice is the first person to have a piece of this kind.

Ice Spice is no stranger to flashy statement chains, often seen wearing her 80-carat diamond Powerpuff Girl-inspired pendant, made by Benny Da Jeweler, and famously worn in the “In Ha Mood” music video. After appearing in the Dunkin’ campaign last year, Ice Spice was also gifted an 80-carat diamond chain from the fast food chain, crafted by jeweler Elliot Eliantte.

Regardless of one’s views on its meaning, there’s no denying that Ice Spice’s pendant, which she paired with a hot pink fuzzy jacket and silver corset top, made a defiant and conversation-starting statement among the see-and-be-seen crowds at the Super Bowl. Moss revealed that the provocative piece, valued as “priceless,” is the first creation from his forthcoming jewelry collection. The designer is no stranger to celebrity clients and high-wattage diamonds, having created headline-grabbing sparklers for the likes of Kylie Jenner.

Much like her musical idols Lil’ Kim and Foxy Brown, Ice Spice also has a well-documented fondness for flashy bijoux. Many fans will recall her show-stopping 80-carat Powerpuff Girls chain dripping with rainbow diamonds in her music video for viral hit “In Ha Mood,” custom-made by celebrity go-to Benny Da Jeweler. Needless to say, when it comes to making a bold jewelry statement, Ice Spice never fails to disappoint. Her Super Bowl pendant may have ruffled some religious feathers, but it got people talking — which is exactly the point when you’re the hottest breakout star in music.
