Joe Burrow, the star quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals, has quickly made a name for himself in the NFL. After a record-breaking college career at LSU, where he led the Tigers to a national championship and won the Heisman Trophy, Burrow was drafted first overall by the Bengals in 2020.
His leadership, football IQ, and on-field performances have turned the Bengals into a serious contender in the AFC, and Burrow has established himself as one of the league’s top young quarterbacks.
Off the field, Burrow has also gained attention for his fashion sense, particularly his various hairstyles. Known for his cool, laid-back demeanor, Burrow’s haircuts have become a topic of conversation among fans and media alike. Let’s take a closer look at his evolving hairstyles and fashion statements over the years.
Joe Burrow’s Fashion Statements, Including the Infamous Backless Suit
Based on some of the X comments, you would’ve thought Burrow and his college teammate Justin Jefferson were exposed to radioactivity. Nope, turns out people didn’t like the suits they were wearing!
Burrow and Jefferson walked the runway during the Vogue World fashion show in Paris. The Bengals’ signal-caller wore a backless suit during one stretch of the show, eliciting comments from the peanut gallery.

He wears everything from the ritziest brands to Seinfeld sweatpants, and the real trademark of someone with a fashion sense is you never know what they’re going to wear. Me? Hoodie and hat in 99% of situations. Burrow could wear sweatpants to a wedding and a tuxedo to a pie-eating contest. The unpredictability is key.

Burrow’s Signature Hairstyles
Regular Cut: This is Joe Burrow’s go-to hairstyle and is one of the easiest to maintain. Evenly cut from all sides, it includes styles like the buzz cut, crew cut, taper cut, Caesar cut, and Ivy League cut. It reflects his simple lifestyle.
Undercut: This haircut features trimmed hair on the sides and back with longer hair on top. Burrow donned this style after the Bengals lost 24-3 to the Browns last year, saying, “When you have a game like that,” while describing his haircut.
Blonde Buzz Cut: Joe Burrow was spotted with this look a few months ago, spawning his “Iced-Out Joe Brrr” persona. Actor Michael Cera also adopted a similar style, thanks to their unofficial barber, Darnell Bonner. Burrow approached Bonner for a new cut and said, “I want to try something new. Shoot me some ideas.”
His new look received mixed reactions from fans, and Burrow clarified via X (formerly Twitter), “I got bored, that’s about it,” referring to his bleached blonde cut. One fan even compared him to WWE superstar Cody Rhodes.
Besides these hairstyles, Burrow has also sported a wet-hair look, a short middle part style, fringe cuts, long hairstyles, and a wavy long haircut.
