Former LSU teammates Joe Burrow and Justin Jefferson met up Monday evening at the 2025 Met Gala. The now NFL stars shared a moment in front of the cameras as they caught up and Jefferson looked to give Burrow a compliment on his suit.
The pair linked up for a handshake before they walked their separate ways. Burrow was wearing a sleek gray suit along with a white undershirt and sunglasses. He also rocked a pair of white and baby blue sneakers.
As for Jefferson, he wore a light gray suit with baggy fitting sleeves and a black undershirt. He also had a what looked to be a flower pattern woven in on the left side of the suit. You can view the moment between the two and their individual outfits below.
Burrow and Jefferson won a national championship together at LSU during the 2019 season. The quarterback-receiver combo connected 111 times that season for a total of 1,540 yards and 18 touchdowns.
They have since each gone on to become stars in their NFL careers, Burrow with the Cincinnati Bengals and Jefferson with the Minnesota Vikings. Jefferson and the Vikings made the playoffs this past season after finishing with a 14-3 record but lost in the Wild Card round.
Burrow didn’t make the playoffs last season but finished fourth in the MVP voting after posting career-best numbers of 4,918 yards passing and 43 touchdowns to nine interceptions. He previously led the Bengals to an appearance in the Super Bowl in 2021, which was just his second pro season.
The Met Gala is an annual event held on the first Monday in May at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. It’s a fundraising gala for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute and the ticket price is $75,000.
This year’s Met Gala theme is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” The dress code is about tailoring and suiting as interpreted through the history and meaning of Black dandyism across the Atlantic diaspora. The theme is inspired by the annual spring exhibition, which this year is based in large part on Monica L. Miller’s book, “Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.”
Although Burrow and Jefferson haven’t been teammates since their college days, it was good to see them get a chance to meet up again at the annual fashion event. They weren’t the only former LSU athletes in attendance as Angel Reese also made an appearance.
