    KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The 2023 NFL Draft isn't all about football. It's a big night for fashion — and some really interesting looks — as many of the future first-round picks stroll down the red carpet in Kansas City.

    It's a night filled with tension and anxiety for these future professionals, but from the looks of the swagger, one would never know how nervous they are as the best of the best showed up in style as they walked the red carpet prior to the draft.

    There will be drama and suspense throughout the night as NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announces the picks, starting at 7 p.m. CT. And more than likely, there will be unexpected twists and turns during the first round as teams try to trade up or down to get the players they want. 

    But who doesn't love a good style show first?

    Below is the best collection of the hottest styles, the worst misses, and some that just leave us scratching our heads. What do you think of tonight's styles? Feel free to share your comments on our social media posts, and share this story with our friends.
