The Tamesis
This afternoon, the 2026 Super Bowl (also known as Super Bowl LX) kicks off at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The Seattle Seahawks will take on the New England Patriots, and Puerto Rican star Bad Bunny will be the much-anticipated halftime performer. (Fans even call it the “Bad Bunny Bowl.”)
Shortly before the game began, however, top football stars – this year including Jaxon Smith-Ngiba, Derek Meyer and Stefon Diggs – took part in the customary tunnel walk. (i.e., well-documented walking into the arena.) After all, these days, top athletes are known to treat their pregame entrances like their runways: as the perfect opportunity to showcase their unique sense of style before donning uniforms and protective helmets. (Last year, players wore everything from sleek suits to Canadian tuxedos and carried giant Louis Vuitton duffel bags.)
That was certainly the case this afternoon in Santa Clara. New England Patriots No. 18 Kyle Williams wears bootcut jeans, Rick Owens sneakers and a black Louis Vuitton duffle coat. New England Patriots No. 8 player Stefon Diggs also loves denim, but he went all-in on eye-catching jewelry, including a large cross pendant and “Snoop” belt buckle.
Others’ tunnel-walking costumes were more abstract. Mack Hollins, No. 13 of the New England Patriots, appeared barefoot (one of his signature moves) and wore a prison-style jumpsuit; the choice was reportedly a nod to his nickname “Jailhouse Mike.”
And this is just the beginning. Below, keep scrolling to see more looks from the 2026 Super Bowl tunnel catwalk uploaded live.
