Caleb Williams draft day outfit: What USC quarterback is wearing to the 2024 NFL Draft image

Caleb Williams is no stranger to drawing attention to himself with his fashion choices.

Whether it's his painted nails or a dress, Williams is not shy about expressing himself.

The NFL Draft is a monumental stage for athletes — and not just for their careers. It's an opportunity to show off their style through custom suits, jewelry and more. With Williams' history of fashion choices and his status as the No. 1 pick, all eyes are on his outfit for the draft.

Will he wear a traditional suit or will he blaze a new trail for future draft picks by wearing a dress to the big event? Will he continue to rock his painted nails as a nod to his mother on his biggest day?

Williams has made bold fashion statements for a prominent male athlete.

The former USC quarterback, who is projected to land No. 1 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, turned heads with his painted nails, which he rocked for each college game day.

He said he always took care of his nails and began painting them in during his senior year of high school. He does it for his mother, Dayne Price, who was a nail technician.

Jared McCain, former Duke basketball player, attracted attention for his own painted his nails during 2024 March Madness.

Williams also wore a dress for GQ in September 2023, which drew a lot of attention. It sparked questions as to whether Williams would wear a dress to the NFL Draft.

Williams has teased fans about what he and his girlfriend will wear to the NFL Draft. We don't know much yet, but we do know he is opting for a suit over a dress.

Williams could be seen wearing the outfit on his way to the draft. The suit was navy blue with silver hearts beside the lapel. It had a zipper going up along the right side of the suit.

Talking on the NFL Network about his outfit, Williams described it as "classy, subtle, one of one."

“I wore a double-breasted zip-up, you don’t really see too many people with the double-breasted zip-ups," Williams said. "I went chrome hearts, stacking the chrome hearts from smallest to largest. I’ve got on the pants leg, I’ve got it on the back as a monochrome.'
