NFL star Joe Burrow has become a fashion icon thanks to his style of dress.
But the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback took his interest in clothing to a whole new level at Paris Fashion Week.
Burrow attended Vogue World Paris, a fashion show for the iconic brand, alongside a host of sports stars and celebrities on Sunday.
And he turned heads by wearing a unique backless black suit with satin lapels, designed by Peter Do.
“I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and grow as a person” Burrow told Vogue.
“[And] I think being on the show is a great way to do that.”
Burrow attended Vogue World 2024 with Justin Jefferson, his former teammate at LSU.
“I’ve always loved clothing, but I never really understood the industry, so I wanted to learn more,” Burrow said.
Many NFL fans were surprised by Burrow’s unusual outfit.
“I think they forgot something in Joe’s suit,” said one fan.

“Burrow got that suit for 30% off,” noted another.
“These LSU alumni are taking style to a whole new level!” a third fan said.
Other Vogue World Paris A-list attendees included Kendall Jenner, Pharrell Williams and Jared Leto, along with NBA players Victor Wembanyama, Jaylen Brown and Russell Westbrook.
“I think the crossover between fashion and sports will continue to grow,” Burrow added.
Burrow won’t be modeling full-time anytime soon.
He signed a five-year, $275 million contract with the Bengals last September.
Burrow recently recovered from surgery to repair a torn wrist ligament in his throwing hand.
And he’s confident in the Bengals’ chances next season.
“I think we’re going to see a little more variety than we’ve seen in the past,” Burrow said..
“But I think we’re going to dictate that a little bit more this year.
“I’m excited about the pressure we will put on defenses with our attacking style this year, I think it will be exciting to watch.
“I think with the personnel we have this year, we will be able to do a lot more with groupings of personnel, putting different people in different positions…
“And doing a lot of different things as far as eyes go and having teams adjust their personnel based on ours.”
