All season long NFL players have been flexing their fashion prowess, arriving to game day in looks befitting of a runway (or Vogue editorial). These stylish walks culminate tonight in New Orleans, where the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.
Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (known in many circles as Taylor Swift’s boyfriend) was one of the first players to catch our attention this evening. Stepping into the Big Easy’s Caesars Superdome, Kelce wore an oversized Amiri suit in a color best described as a mix between rust, burnt orange, and pumpkin spice latte. The elongated blazer, shimmery top, and black and white loafers were bold enough on their own, but Kelce took the look to Saturday Night Fever-esque heights with a gilded rose brooch, gold necklace, retro-tinted tortoiseshell shades, and an unbuttoning of his shirt that revealed ample chest hair. Meanwhile, Eagles’ quarterback Jalen Hurts continued his season-long affinity for sleek tailoring, opting for a royal purple suit. Worn with a matching, collarless purple shirt and black loafers, Hurts leaned into a tunnel trend we’ve seen since week 1: the giant leather bag. For Super Bowl Sunday, Hurts went with Coach’s Empire Bag.
Of all the looks we took note of this evening—Charles Omenihu’s crystal-embellished trousers and matching vest along with his aqua Louis Vuitton duffle really lit up the group chat—we were especially touched by what DeAndre Hopkins chose to wear. “My dad died in 1992 and he left me a couple things,” Hopkins shared during a pre-game press conference. “One of the things that he left me was a mink jacket. I always said I would wear that mink jacket to my wedding or to the Super Bowl—whichever happened first. Obviously, I’m not married, so I’m gonna wear my daddy’s mink jacket.”
Ahead, the best and boldest tunnel looks from Super Bowl LIX.
