Tom Brady developed a keen eye for fashion during his time in the NFL. While most of his red carpet looks were a hit with fans, he seemingly misstepped with his outfit for the 2018 Met Gala.

Brady and his then-wife Gisele Bündchen attended the 2018 Met Gala in matching outfits. Tom Brady wore a black tux with a lapel in golden embroidery and a turtleneck. Meanwhile, Bündchen wore a golden-colored gown with a high neck and a scarf made from eco-friendly material.

Though Bündchen was appreciated for her wardrobe choice, Brady was mocked by fans, who compared his look to a James Bond villain.

When he was asked by People to comment on his wardrobe, Brady clarified that his outfit was chosen by Bündchen since the theme of the event was “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.” He also joked that "the end" was his favorite part of the night.

“What do you think?” he added when People asked him if this was the norm for date nights with Bundchen.

Brady's comments about Bundchen choosing his outfit took many by surprise given his past statements about being in charge of his own wardrobe.

In a 2009 interview with GQ magazine, Brady said:

“I think any man who lets a woman pick what he should wear ... I mean, you gotta draw the line somewhere as a man.”

During an interview with Access Hollywood in April 2016, Bündchen described Brady as more fashionable among the two.

“I have to tell you I’m supposed to be the fashion person here but I’m married to a fashion guy. I don’t understand what’s happening. It’s easier him dressing me than me dressing him. I mean, really, he has a great sense of style.”

Brady launched his eponymous clothing line in 2022 with the help of Jens Grede, who partnered with Kim Kardashian during the launch of SKIMS, and Dao-Yi Chow, a designer of Public School.
