San Francisco 49er tight end George Kittle and his wife, Claire Kittle, arrived hand-in-hand at the 2025 NFL Honors ceremony in New Orleans on Thursday.

For the occasion, Claire wore an off-the-shoulder ivory Maticevski bridal gown with capped sleeves and structured ruffles that created a wave-like pattern along the thigh-high slit of the floor-length skirt. The ruffles on the asymmetrical “Wishing Gown” dress were embroidered with ribbon on tulle.

George Kittle, Claire Kittle at the 14th Annual NFL Honors held at Saenger Theatre on February 06, 2025 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

She accessorized with simple diamond stud earrings, bracelets and a ring, as well as white strappy stilettos. She wore her hair in a sleek bun by hairstylist Jenn Lagron, and her makeup was by makeup artist Arbella Yousif.

George Kittle wore a dark blue suit jacket and pants over a loose, unbuttoned white dress shirt. He paired it with black, cream and white sneakers and posed with his Salute to Service Award on the red carpet.

Kittle’s Salute to Service Award, presented by the United Services Automobile Association (USAA), recognizes exceptional efforts to honor and support the military community. Kittle created an app offering free mental health resources for veterans. He’s also donated $250,000 and over 400 tickets to service members and military organizations.

George Kittle has several fashion collaborations, including a George Kittle Chubbies collection for the Austin, Texas-based men’s brand and a Levi’s partnership for their 541 Athletic Fit jeans. In 2020, George and Claire Kittle teamed with sunglasses brand Zenni for a limited-edition Kittles x Zenni capsule collection. Zenni is the official eyewear of the San Francisco 49ers. Their second Zenni eyewear collection was launched in 2023.

The NFL Honors 2025 takes place Thursday at the historic Saenger Theater in New Orleans. Hosted by rapper Snoop Dogg, the 14th annual ceremony celebrates the best performances of the 2024 NFL season. Fans can watch the NFL Honors live on Fox and NFL Network, streaming through NFL+. The ceremony also precedes the Super Bowl LIX, which will take place on Sunday with a matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs.
