Karina Pasian Says NFL Approved Anthem Outfit, Apologizes for Any Offense

Her cabaret-inspired look at the league’s Madrid debut drew online criticism.

Overview

  • Pasian told TMZ the NFL reviewed and approved her wardrobe days before her national anthem performance in Madrid.
  • She said she did not intend to offend anyone and issued an apology to those who felt offended.
  • The singer wore a vintage Marc Jacobs mini dress with thigh-high stockings, garters, and gloves in a cabaret style.
  • She posted behind-the-scenes footage on Instagram crediting stylists who altered the vintage dress.
  • The performance preceded the NFL’s first regular-season game in Spain, where Miami beat Washington 16-13 in overtime on a Riley Patterson field goal, and outlets have not cited a detailed NFL statement beyond the league’s promotional post.
