VANITY FAIR

Caption

@joeyb_9, the Cincinnati Bengals star quarterback, has had a big few days. Last Saturday, he attended the Kentucky Derby with his parents, where his chosen horse took second place “by a freaking nose.” On Sunday, he flew to the Miami Grand Prix before heading to New York, where he sat at The Mark Hotel waiting for his look from the label Bode to be delivered. He attended his second Met Gala in a custom suit by Emily Adams Bode Aujla, a navy-and-black shawl-lapel suit with tasseled frogging and a Cartier panther necklace. “This one was exciting for me,” he told VF. “Emily and her team did a great job… some inspiration was pulled from American portraitists. It’s very detailed, and sick.” “Sport and athletics is kind of performance art, in a way… our art is shown and created through our bodies and our movement,” he said, reflecting on the theme. With a toe injury that hampered much of last season, and recent changes within the Bengals’ organization, Burrow is hoping to put on a show once September rolls around.
