Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning may have won the day as he led his team to victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, but it was his girlfriend, Stephanie Niles, who stole the show. Niles, who has been the 27-year-old QB’s partner for five years, stunned viewers with her outfit: a white bodysuit complete with fluffy orange hat and booties.

Niles first drew the crowd’s attention near the end of the first quarter, when Browning made a touchdown with just 50 seconds left on the clock. Cameras cut to Niles in a VIP box, enthusiastically jumping up and down in celebration.

The entrepreneur instantly won attention, and great acclaim, on social media for her game-day outfit. She took to her Instagram on Sunday evening to address the coverage, and to post some alternative angles of the footage that made her famous. Niles also posted a photo of herself walking through the stadium in her signature bodysuit, and another seemingly taken at a post-game dinner which shows her sitting next to Browning.

“What a ride!!” Niles’ caption read. “How INSANE is this life!!!”

Niles made such an impression that many compared her to Taylor Swift, who similarly went viral last year while cheering on her beau, Chiefs superstar Travis Kelce.

“Instantly became the most memorable player girlfriend of the year,” wrote X (formerly Twitter) user @RichardJKPE. “If that angers the Swifties, I'm good with it.” Another commenter put it more bluntly: “Stephanie Niles > Taylor Swift,” said @jmiahcooley.

Some, however, were not so quick to take the crown from Swift. “Taylor can gently sing me to sleep on a mattress filled with Benjamins, with sheets sewn from gold, in a mansion built on diamond mines, and still have a few hundred milly left over to fund my gambling addiction,” wrote Nate Riley. “It ain’t close.”

Niles left a Risk Assurance Associate position at prestige accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers in 2019 to start her own swimwear line, 7th Street Swim, Bol News reported. 7th Street describes itself as “a luxury, sustainable swimwear brand” on its LinkedIn page. She previously garnered fan attention during the Bengals’ astonishing win against Browning’s former team, the Minnesota Vikings, in December.
