The offseason is a recipe for Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow to try out his skills on the red carpet.

Last year, Burrow went global and made headlines sporting a backless suit at the Vogue World Fashion Show in Paris. 

Burrow put his wardrobe to the test again Monday evening on the biggest night of the fashion world. 

Joe Burrow shows up for Met Gala 2025

Burrow was one of several NFL stars to walk the walk at this year's Met Gala in New York City. The 28-year old QB rocked a blue double breasted suit jacket and pants along with sunglasses and a necklace to boot. 

This time, his back appeared to be covered.  

The Met Gala has a different theme every year. This year's theme is "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," matching The Met's spring exhibition that honors the history of Black fashion and dandyism. Burrow's outfit looks to match this year's theme. 

Burrow is certainly a big enough superstar to not only attend the event, but to come back in future years. He's never been shy about expressing his diverse taste in fashion, and this is the event in that industry.

Other players to dress up for the event include Burrow's former LSU teammate Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings, Stefon Diggs of the New England Patriots, Russell Wilson of the hometown New York Giants, and Super Bowl 59 champions Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley of the Philadelphia Eagles. Former NFL QB Colin Kaepernick also made an appearance. 

Back in Cincinnati, the Bengals are entering Phase 2 of offseason workouts with rookie minicamp taking place Friday, May 9. OTAs don't begin until May 27, but Burrow and other notable players will likely rejoin the team before then.

Cincinnati has another session of OTAs from June 2-4 and Mandatory Minicamp runs from June 10-12.
