Joe Burrow is trading the jersey for a designer suit at this year’s Met Gala.
Cincinnati Bengals star quarterback Burrow was seen departing The Mark Hotel in New York alongside Minnesota Vikings wide receiver (and former Louisiana State University teammate) Justin Jefferson.
Photos show Burrow wearing a blue two-piece suit with designer trim, bringing back a similar color from last year’s appearance at The Met Gala. Additional outfit details are yet to be confirmed.
A video of Burrow and Jefferson show the two posing for photos in front of the hotel.
This year’s “Costume Art” theme for the spring exhibit and corresponding “Fashion Is Art” dress code for the star-studded red carpet is set to celebrate “the centrality of the dressed body” at the fashion extravaganza.
Since joining the league in 2020, the sixth-year quarterback has garnered a reputation for his bold fashion statements, working with Kyle Smith, the NFL’s first-ever fashion editor. He also had a viral moment wearing a backless suit jacket and making his modeling debut at the Vogue World fashion show as part of Paris Fashion Week in 2024.
