Tom Brady turned his hand to modeling in New York on Saturday night, taking center stage and walking the Gucci runway in Times Square decked in a leather outfit. The 48-year-old NFL icon made his surprise appearance in the Big Apple for a night that captured the attention of the fashion world.
A Confident Runway Debut
He looked very confident as he walked down the runway under the gaze of hundreds of people in attendance on the prestigious night in Manhattan. The seven-time Super Bowl winner was in attendance alongside some stellar names on the night - including Shawn Mendes, Lindsay Lohan, and Mariah Carey.
Exploring New Avenues
The appearance is another example of how much Brady is exploring other career avenues in the years that have followed his 2022 retirement from football. Just last week, Brady was ripping jokes on stage at Kevin Hart's Netflix Roast - turning the tables after his brutal appearance on the show back in May 2024. Tom Brady tried his hand at modeling in New York on Saturday night at a fashion show. The 48-year-old Brady took center stage at a Gucci show held at Times Square. Brady has used the NFL offseason as a chance to explore a range of other interests.
Off-Field Ventures and Raiders Involvement
It comes after the Las Vegas Raiders team he owns a minority stake in have overseen a huge offseason rebuild after a catastrophic 2025 season. They picked new quarterback Fernando Mendoza with the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft in April. They spent around $280 million in free agency on new recruits, headlined by former Baltimore Ravens center Tyler Linderbaum, and held onto defensive end Maxx Crosby after the Ravens withdrew from a trade for him that would have sent two first-round picks to Sin City. Brady was also involved in the appointment of Klint Kubiak as the new Raiders head coach. It's a fascinating appointment - Kubiak did a magnificent job as offensive coordinator at the Seattle Seahawks in 2025, the team that won the Super Bowl.
Flag Football and Broadcasting
Back in March, he rolled back the years on the football field in a flag football event staged by Fanatics in Los Angeles. Brady competed alongside an array of present-day NFL stars such as Saquon Barkley, Joe Burrow, and Jalen Hurts. Of course, Brady also works for Fox as an NFL analyst during the season and is entering the third year of a 10-year, $375 million contract with the broadcaster. In the 2026 season, he will call a Patriots game in New England for the first time as a broadcaster - back at the team where he won six of his seven Super Bowl titles.
Plenty of Time for Other Interests
But with the season not starting until September, Brady has plenty of time to explore other interests. Judging by how at ease he was on the runway on Saturday, it may become another home from home for him.
