N.Y. Giants Star Teases ‘Tasty’ Accessory for His First NFL Outfit (Exclusive)

The style special sauce is here.

Kayvon Thibodeaux of the New York Giants is about to serve a look that’s equally fresh and “tasty” for his first tunnel walk outfit of the NFL season when his team takes on the Washington Commanders on Sunday, Sept. 7.

Think “mayo-core,” or rather, an all-white ‘fit that the defensive lineman, 24, tells PEOPLE exclusively was created by streetwear designer Zero Waste Daniel in collaboration with Hellmann’s for the condiment brand’s first-ever fashion collection.

“Hellmann’s is a household name, but fashion is not their lane. So being the pioneer for the condiment space to get into the fashion world, I think it is amazing,” Thibodeaux tells PEOPLE exclusively, noting that he tends to “push the lines” with the clothes he wears.

“No matter what I put on, I make it a moment,” he emphasizes.

Known as House of Hellmann’s, the collection includes an all-denim set — a hat, jacket and pants — each featuring motifs inspired by Hellmann’s iconic ribbon and crafted in the signature creamy mayo hue that fans know and love.

“We use a Hellmann’s palette to express the flavor of the brand… it’s fully monochromatic,” the NFL player shares. “When it comes to the design of the outfit, it mirrored a lot of my style. The patchwork gives it a kind street feel, even though it’s really dressed up with the wide-brim hat.”

“I think it was really dope because it’s the first game of the season, it’s a division game,” he continues, adding, “It’s a really big moment for me to not only showcase my style, but showcase the Hellmann’s brand…  I think it’s amazing.”

While this particular Zero Waste Daniel-designed look was styled by NFL stylist Kyle Smith, the first round draft pick — who was selected fifth overall by the New York Giants in the 2022 NFL Draft — tells PEOPLE that he doesn’t typically use a stylist for his own game-day looks.

“Most of my outfits, I’m just picking and choosing. There’s no curation,” he shares. “I like to feel like I’m a character. You’re getting a chance to put on a look… It’s almost like a mental escape for me, during a long season just trying to keep myself, I guess, balanced.”

In addition to the three-piece set, Thibodeaux hinted at the possibility of bringing along the condiment to complement.

“Potentially,” he teases of whether or not a container of mayo will be in hand as a pre-game tunnel walk accessory. “It depends on if I have some food. It’s an early game, so I may be eating breakfast.”

He makes clear, “If I get a turkey bacon, egg, and cheese with some mayo, no cheese, actually, just a turkey, bacon, egg, avocado with some Hellmann’s.”

The condiment brand’s collection puts a fresh spin on where food, football and fashion collide.

Available to shop on Sept. 8 at 12 p.m. ET on the House of Hellmann’s website, the three-piece drop lends itself to making bold fashion statements both on and off the field.
