Hosted by television personality and former Miss Universe, Olivia Culpo, the event aimed to capture the energy and excitement surrounding the Super Bowl from a fashion and entertainment lens.

The star-studded guest list included names like Donna and Ed Kelce, parents of Super Bowl players Travis and Jason Kelce, musician Louis Tomlinson, actor Brendan Fraser, and many more. The red carpet provided a platform for these personalities to share their thoughts on the big game, their personal style, and their Super Bowl experiences. Conversations ranged from predictions for the game to insights into the celebrities’ personal lives, offering viewers a glimpse into the star-studded atmosphere surrounding the event.

Tubi’s foray into live red carpet coverage marks a departure from traditional Super Bowl pre-game programming. While networks typically focus on game analysis and player profiles, Tubi’s approach emphasized the cultural significance of the Super Bowl, highlighting the intersection of sports, entertainment, and fashion. The move reflects a growing trend of streaming platforms expanding their content offerings beyond traditional formats.

The event will took place live from Caesars Superdome on Sunday, February 9th, beginning at 3:30 PM ET, leading up to the Big Game, which airs on FOX at 6:30 PM ET.
