From the Stadium to the Runway: NFL Wide Receivers Dominate the 2025 Paris Fashion Week
Paris Fashion Week is here, and it’s taking over our screens and social media feeds with fabulous style inspiration. This past week, the annual Menswear Paris Fashion Show delivered something exciting: our favorite NFL stars swapping their jerseys for runway-ready high-fashion looks! With the NFL season on pause, it’s the perfect time for these athletes to show off their flair and leave the tackling behind. Let’s dive into the world of high fashion and see how these gridiron giants strutted their stuff, making the runway their very own personal end zone!
Odell Beckham Jr.
Odell Beckham Jr., currently a wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins, is not just a standout player on the field but also a master of fashion off the field. From his bold and ever-changing colorful haircuts to his stylish appearances in Louis Vuitton, OBJ has showcased many amazing outfits as a true style icon. He effortlessly blends street style with high fashion, never shying away from bold, eye-catching looks. It comes as no surprise that OBJ dominated the runway this past week.
When he arrived at The Accor Arena, all eyes were immediately drawn to his vibrant plush headpiece, which perfectly complemented his plush beige jacket.
His other look, designed by Kenzo, is equally impressive. It features a jacket in a rich hue that creates an edgy vibe. Odell never fails to look stylish!
Marquez Valdes-Scantlin
Marquez Valdes-Scantling, a wide receiver for the New Orleans Saints, isn’t just a superstar on the field; he’s a style sensation off of it! With a flair for fashion that could rival any runway model, Marquez shines bright at high-profile events, including this year’s Paris Fashion Week. His Instagram bio says it all: “I design clothes sometimes,” proving he’s not just about the looks—he’s about creating them too!
In 2024, MVS took his fashion game up by teaming up with “Express” and hosting the Luxe Fashion Fest! I mean, is there anything this man can’t do? Winning Super Bowls and setting trends? Now, that’s what I call a double threat!
At the Paris Fashion Show, MVS made jaws drop with his colorful ensemble adorned with Louis Vuitton. Talk about making a statement! He layered it with a sleek necklace stack that screamed elegance and sophistication. The real showstopper was his custom MVS earrings, adding a personal touch that only this fashion icon could pull off!
CeeDee Lamb
CeeDee Lamb has been making waves throughout Fashion Week. As another standout wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys, he has been showcasing his impressive style. In a conversation with Neiman Marcus, Lamb expressed his love for accessorizing with jewelry, especially watches and bracelets, stating, “That's where the football goes.” Lamb emphasizes the importance of positive self-talk and recognizes that he is living his dream through his football career. He shares, “I’ve always had an eye and a passion for clothes. I love getting dressed.”
We have been fortunate to witness CeeDee and Odell Beckham Jr. serving looks together in Paris. This dynamic duo provides us with major style inspiration as they attend events in eye-catching outfits. Naturally, it leaves us curious about which designer brand CeeDee gravitates toward. Fortunately, he reveals his favorite in an interview with Neiman Marcus!
“My favorite designer is Christian Dior. I love that the logo is a CD.”
Ja'Marr Chase
In the exciting intersection of fashion and football, we have Ja'Marr Chase, who candidly told Flaunt magazine that everyone knows Paris is the fashion capital. Last week, he was spotted all over Paris during Fashion Week. At the Kenzo show, he made a statement by wearing a Kenzo 'Constellation' embroidered kimono crafted from Japanese denim, a signature style of Kenzo.
When discussing another stylish wide receiver, Chase pointed to Jamal Adams. “He went to LSU, and I went to LSU too. When he was there, I was still in high school. I watched him grow and become a fashion icon in this new world; he was someone I first started to look up to.” Just as football players push each other to excel in their sport, they also inspire each other to pursue their passions, including fashion.
This year at Paris Fashion Week, we saw Chase effortlessly rock a streetwear-inspired look featuring the designer brand Bluemarble. From perfectly oversized baggy jeans to statement sunglasses and dazzling jewelry, his outfit was the perfect blend of laid-back and luxurious.
These NFL wide receivers did not disappoint their fans at this year’s Paris Fashion Week, proving that their style of play is just as strong as their skills on the field. With fashion moments that left us stunned, we eagerly anticipate what they’ll bring to the table in the Fall. One thing’s for sure—whatever they wear next, it’s bound to be a serious style touchdown!
