The marriage of sport and fashion has spectacularly collided again as the stars behind the NFL Draft and their glamorous WAGS hit the red carpet. On the back of the stylish women of the WNBA draft slaying on the red carpet, NFL's new stars Caleb Williams, Marvin Harrison Jr., Malik Naber, J.J. McCarthy, Drake Maye, and Jayden Daniels bought the glamour, bling, color, and plenty of personal fashion statements to football's night of nights.
USC star quarterback Caleb Williams—who as predicted has been recruited by the Chicago Bears — hit the red carpet in a sleek custom navy double-breasted zip-up suit designed by luxury American brand Chrome Hearts. Williams also went viral for his painted fingernails, which were navy to match his suit apart from his two pinky fingers that were painted silver to complement the silver accents on his suit and his girlfriend's dress. Panting his fingernails has been a long tradition of William's which is to honor his nail technician mother. When asked by a reporter about his fit, Williams described it as "Classy, unique, one of one."
