The Chiefs just beat the Baltimore Ravens on Jan. 28 to confirm their spot in Sunday’s game in Las Vegas, and Vogue says the outfit request was “a telling indication of Kelce’s confidence” that his team would make it to the game. definitive.
Kelce had two members of Amiri’s team fly to Las Vegas this week for a formal fitting, and, Vogue adds, the ensemble was initially designed in cream, but was changed to black at Kelce’s request.
