These football stars scored some touchdowns with their looks for the 2019 Met Gala.
Among the many athletes representing the sports world at the highly-anticipated fundraising gala on Monday night were some of football’s favorite players, leaving behind the shoulder pads and spikes for some unique takes on tuxedos.
Tom Brady
Brady shared aphoto from the eveningon his Instagram, jokingly writing, “No we are not your Mom and Dad.#MetGala.”
Last year, the six-time Super Bowl winner opted for a Versace tuxedo featuring a black turtleneck underneath a jacket featuring elaborate gold embroidering on the lapel, becoming a meme when jokes spread on social media about how his ensemble made him look like a villain and others likening his look to a magician.
WhenPEOPLE asked Bradyto name his favorite part of the gala, he jokingly replied “the end.”
Odell Beckham Jr.
The Cleveland Browns wide receiver didn’t play it safe this Met Gala.
Odell Beckham Jr.arrived at the event wearing Thom Browne kilt and sleeveless tuxedo jacket, but that wasn’t his original game plan, according toGQ.
“I told them no off the rip,” Beckham told GQ of the kilt when at Thom Browne’s midtown offices on Sunday night before the Met. “I was like, ‘There’s no chance I’m wearing that. On the way here I was like, ‘Can you make sure they bring it just in case? I might just do it just to do it.’ ”
And the kilt took home the win over regular tuxedo pants! Beckhman Jr. also shared a photo on his social media, alongside Brady and fellow football stars Julian Edelman and Saquon Barkley.
“The talk different in this circle …. 🐐TALK#Met#KILTthat,”Beckham Jr.captioned the photo.
Saquon Barkley
And speaking of Barkley, the New York Giants running back pulled out all the stops for his first Met appearance.
In a post on his Instagram, Barkley shared professional photos taken of him while getting ready for the event. He went for a sleek all-black tuxedo, trading in pants for a pair of matching shorts.
Julian Edelman
Another Patriots player who also attended the Met Gala was wide receiver,Edelman.
He posed for photos with his fellow football stars, including teammate, Brady, sharing them on hisInstagram.
