Best Celeb Looks at The GQ Bowl: The Ultimate Super Bowl Fashion Crossover Event 

Before the Super Bowl kickoff, our favorite celebrities stepped out for the GQ Bowl and we had to show off their looks.

Before the Super Bowl main, celebrities brought the fashion heat to the annual GQ Bowl in San Francisco. Known as the ultimate “toast to the global symbiosis of sports and fashion,” this high-profile event has become one of the top-rated parties to attend during the big weekend. By bridging the gap between the gridiron and the catwalk, this major runway showcase—led by designer Thom Browne—provided a platform for luxury tailoring to meet athletic culture. From Queen Latifah to Victor Cruz, some of the industry’s biggest names gathered to celebrate this massive fashion occasion. Let’s take a look at these fiery looks from our industry favorites.
