The Philadelphia Eagles clinched their second Super Bowl title with a commanding 40-22 victory over the defending champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, in New Orleans.
The highly anticipated showdown at the Superdome was not just a spectacle on the field but also a star-studded affair, drawing Hollywood elites, music icons, and even U.S. President Donald Trump.
Before kickoff, actors Jon Hamm and Bradley Cooper set the stage, introducing the Chiefs and Eagles, respectively. Cooper, a devoted Eagles fan, took the moment to hype up the crowd alongside young fan Declan LeBaron.
The stands were filled with familiar faces, including Jay-Z, who was seen capturing moments of his daughter Rumi playing near the end zone while her sister Blue Ivy watched on. Notably absent was Beyoncé, whose presence at past Super Bowls has been a highlight.

President Trump made history as the first sitting U.S. president to attend a Super Bowl, accompanied by his daughter Ivanka and a large entourage. He was seen saluting as Jon Batiste performed the national anthem but left before the final whistle, later criticizing the game's kickoff time on Truth Social.
