Three main stars of the hit legal drama “Suits” have reunited for a Super Bowl commercial promoting e.l.f. Cosmetics. Gina Torres, Rick Hoffman, and Sarah Rafferty, who portrayed Jessica Pearson, Louis Litt, and Donna Paulsen, respectively, are featured in the 60-second spot titled “Judge Beauty.”
The commercial, directed by Zach Woods, known for his roles in HBO’s ‘Silicon Valley’ and NBC’s ‘The Office,’ brings a humorous twist to the courtroom setting. The characters find themselves in front of none other than Judge Judy Sheindlin, making her first-ever commercial appearance as Judge Beauty.

In a quirky legal dispute, Hoffman’s character accuses Torres of overspending on cosmetics, with Rafferty playing the role of the court reporter. The commercial features cameo appearances from Meghan Trainor, Emmanuel Acho, Benito Skinner/Benny Drama, Ronald Gladden from “Jury Duty,” and HeidiNCloset from “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”
The verdict? Torres is “sentenced” to use e.l.f. cosmetics, aligning with the brand’s message of offering affordable, cruelty-free makeup. Despite lacking the surprise cleverness of some other Super Bowl commercials, the mini-reunion of “Suits” stars is likely to amuse fans, especially those who have discovered the series on Netflix, where it experienced a surge in popularity.
Interestingly, the resurgence of “Suits” on streaming platforms has led to the development of a new series titled “Suits: LA.” Showrunner Aaron Korsh, in partnership with NBCUniversal, is set to explore a different world within the “Suits” universe. Directed by Victoria Mahoney, production tentatively starts in March and the spinoff promises a fresh take on the legal drama’s legacy.
The e.l.f. Cosmetics commercial not only entertains viewers with its witty courtroom banter but also highlights the brand’s top-selling product of 2023, the Halo Glow Liquid Filter complexion booster. As the commercial gains attention, the “Suits” cast’s reunion continues to captivate audiences, leaving fans excited about the future developments in the “Suits” universe.
