Everything is set for Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles to face each other for the Super Bowl LIX. In such an important night, in which the Chiefs could achieve an historic three-peat, players from both teams arrived at the Caesars Superdrome dressed to the nines. And if one NFL star is known for his fashion sense, that’s not other than Travis Kelce.
The Chiefs’ tight end once again made clear that he isn’t afraid to make a fashion statement when necessary. He stepped up wearing an Amiri camel double-breasted suit, 70s styled, fresh from the Paris Fashion Week of last month. He combined it with a matching disco fever-esque sequin undershirt.
Probably taking note from his superstar girlfriend Taylor Swift, there’s an “easter egg” in his choice for the night. Last year, he also wore a suit from the designer—a now-iconic black bouclé suit—for the Super Bowl. A cheeky call back or a full superstition for the player? Well, whatever it is, he certainly loves a good outfit.
Also, another fun fact about the suit is that it was originally designed for women. However, Mike Amiri told GQ that he didn’t doubt that Kelce could pull it off. “He’s just such a great person to dress because he can wear clothes, clothes don’t wear him. He can make anything kind of work,” he told the outlet.
Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes’ choice for the night has also sparked conversation online, as the quarterback arrived wearing a green-like-Eagles suit. His suit was tailored-made by Stephen Richards Jr.
