BeforeTaylor Swiftwas putting on a fashion show from thesidelines of the Chiefs gamesevery weekend, there was Claire Kittle.
Kittle is the 29-year-old wife of George Kittle, the longtime tight end for the 49ers.
Yes, tight end is the same position Swifts boyfriend,Travis Kelce, plays on the Chiefs.
Jeff Kravitz
In fact the two are friendlyKelce and Kittle are founding members ofTight End University.
But it would be a reductive to refer to Claire Kittle as the Taylor of the 49ers.
And her legend is every bit deserved.
George and Claire Kittle.
Along with her fellow49ers WAG Kristin Juszczyk, Kittle has been redefining the very idea of Game Day Style.
Gone are the days of oversize jerseys from the stadium gift shop.
In 2024, WAGs are going all out.
George and Claire Kittle.
Whatever she wears is gonna be a serve.
I dont like to exactly put myself into a box, because I like to mix it up.
As long as I put it together and I feel good, thats the most important thing to me.
On the phone shes relaxed and forthcoming.
Shes every bit the down-to-earth girl her good friend turned stylist Leigh Taylor Richardson described her to be.
The fame that comes with the territory does not register at all to her.
Its truly the most refreshing, says Richardson.
She just knows what she wants.
Take, for example, the festive red Alex Perry suit she wore to the Christmas game.
Turns out, it was a suit Richardson had bought for herself.
I gave her the 85s off my lapel.
Adds Kittle, I was like, Im so wearing this for the Christmas game.
This is absolutely perfect.
And he goes, Yeah, oh absolutely.
Itll be sick if that comes to fruition.Whenthat comes to fruition.
Richardson is largely responsible for the his-and-hers looks, which read like a love letter to their relationship.
Thankfully, she hasnt faced too much negativityeven from opposing fandoms.
I think Georges entire career, people have loved him, she says.
Hes the same person youve seen since hes been a rookie in the media as he is today.
Hes good at what he does.
You guys are great.
We would love to have him on our team.
So that has been amazing because that doesnt happen to everybody and that doesnt happen everywhere.
Also obsessed with Kittle?
And he just loves that.
Were both athletes, so its kind of weird, but it works for us.
When I ask about her post-NFL future, Kittle, ever the supportive WAG, answers for her husband.
For now shes paying attention to whats in front of her: the Super Bowl.
And I think thats important to, like I said before, keep at the forefront.
And as for what shell be wearing?
Its kind of like a silver moment.
I havent done silver yet, Kittle hints.
Im like, Okay, Ill be like the Lombardi Trophy.
