If the annual Super Bowl match is the National Football League's biggest stage, then the NFL tunnel the pathway connecting the arena's entrances to the locker rooms - is its most electrifying runway.

This was certainly in evidence at this year's event, where fans saw Taylor Swift cheer on her boyfriend Travis Kelce alongside A-listers Anne Hathaway, Serena Williams, Bradley Cooper and Jay-Z.

But all eyes were on the star players' outfits as they arrived in style at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.

The Philadelphia Eagles' Saquon Barkley, who turned 28 on the day of the match, sported double denim and carried a rare Hermès HAC Birkin bag estimated to be worth $80,000 (£64,450).
