The Tommy Hilfiger Deal
According to WWD, as cited by Yahoo Entertainment, this is more than a simple endorsement. Kelce will do a campaign launch later in 2026, where he walks through a version of NYC, and has collaborated with Hilfiger's design team on a limited Spring 2027 collection.

Kelce's off-field portfolio
This is not Kelce's first entry into fashion. In 2019, he started his own apparel brand, Tru Kolors, merging varsity nostalgia with leisure luxury. As per AOL, Kelce moved into the red carpet scene, attending the ESPYs, NFL Honors, and Hollywood events, while also making headlines for bold fashion moments such as an all-leather Tom Ford look he donned to support Swift at the iHeartRadio Music Awards.
When Swift and Kelce got engaged on August 26, 2025, and shared the news via a joint Instagram post, Hadid was among the first to show public support by liking the post.
