The Kansas City Chiefs are looking good on the field this season. But how are they looking on the fashion runway?
Chiefs fans had a chance to find out Tuesday night when a few Chiefs players took to the runway to model some chic team apparel.
Punter Tommy Townsend and wide receiver Rashee Rice modeled designer Chiefs wear during the 12th Annual Chiefs Style Lounge held at The LEX at the Kansas City Convention Center. Former Chiefs wide receiver Dante Hall also got in on the modeling action.
The glitzy affair gave some local brands a chance to show their fashions along with apparel from the Chiefs Pro Shop line. Jewelry from event sponsor Helzberg Diamonds and Super Bowl ring designer Jostens were part of the show.
Current and former Chiefs cheerleaders along with some local and national influencers got in on the modeling along with Ava Hunt, the daughter of Chiefs owner Clark Hunt.
Hunt’s wife, Tavia Shackles Hunt who is head of the Chiefs Women’s Organization, was there to help host the show along with her daughter Gracie and KSHB anchor Dia Wall.
Here are photos from the event.
