During Paris Fashion Week last month, the fall 2023 shows were lined with celebrities in the front row whether it be actors, singers, or athletes. One sports star on the scene, for the very first time, was football pro Stefon Diggs, a wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills. “It was one of the best experiences that I’ve had in my lifetime it’s something I’ve dreamed of for a long time,” says Diggs, who appreciated the theatricality of it all. “I train all year round for 17 games, so I [appreciated] the thought process and work that goes into producing a good show.”
Diggs is a big fashion fan, and has been since he was a kid. “When I was younger, I didn’t have the financial stability to be able to buy all the clothes [I wanted to], so I had to be more creative with what I had,” says Diggs. “My thought process was, ‘If you don’t have much, make it look real good.’” That attitude has made Diggs’s personal style bold and unique; the athlete delivered a number of different statement looks including a full on face shield at Balenciaga in his VIP seats at shows like Rick Owens, Givenchy, and Lanvin, “It’s hard to pick a favorite each show had its moment,” says Diggs.
