With awards show red carpets, movie premieres, and concerts all still on hold, an in-person, star-studded event is a rare thing, which may be one of many reasons the fashion at Joe Biden’s inauguration caused such a sensation. For Super Bowl LV, where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers faced off against the Kansas City Chiefs in Tampa, stars like The Weeknd, Jazmine Sullivan, H.E.R., and inauguration sensation Amanda Gorman provided the glam factor before and after kickoff— and Tom Brady even found time for a fashion moment before getting in uniform. Ahead, a look at some of the must-see looks.
Miley Cyrus
Cyrus dressed both as a football player and a cheerleader for her pre-show, where she performed in front of 7,500 Tampa Bay-area essential workers who were fully vaccinated for COVID. The entire performance streamed on TikTok.
Tom Brady
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback wore a Tom Ford Sand Herringbone Blouson with a navy knit polo shirt and beige twill denim before the game began.
