Paris, Milan, New York, Oakland? The lead-up to Super Bowl LX included a fashion show this year, as Thom Browne presented his fall 2026 collection at the GQ Bowl February 6. Heated Rivalry star François Arnaud was in attendance, as was Industry’s Myha’la, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and Academy Award–nominated Teyana Taylor, accompanied by her two daughters. The show took place at San Francisco’s Legion of Honor museum. “San Francisco is such a beautiful city,” GQ global editorial director Will Welch told Vogue. “It was a dream for the second year of GQ Bowl to have Thom as our partner. Thom is such a sophisticated designer and he puts on runway shows that feel like theater.”
Thom Browne has become one of the entertainment biz’s go-to guys in the past few years. Doechii wore several Thom Browne pieces at the 2025 Grammys, including an underwear set with his trademark stripe motif during her performance of “Catfish/Denial Is a River.” And the Thom Browne clique has become thee group to go to the Met Gala with. Last year, the Thom Browne coterie included Janelle Monáe, Angel Reese, Tramell Tillman, Lorde, and Walton Goggins. Good group. With Heated Rivalry absolutely blowing up, perhaps Arnaud will be in the 2026 class?
