Steelers Style, the team’s annual fashion show featuring players and their families showing off the latest fashions, will take place on Friday, October 10 at 6 p.m. at Stage AE.
The Steelers announced the co-captains for this year’s high-energy show, with safety DeShon Elliott and receiver DK Metcalf handling the honor.
“It’s cool. I have always been recognized for my taste in fashion,” said Elliott. “Just to have the chance to co-chair it is special. I am excited for it.”

The theme of this year’s show is ‘There’s No Place Like Home,’ which is inspired by the Wizard of Oz and a homage to the people of Pittsburgh. And Steelers fans know there is no place like home, as Acrisure Stadium is always electric on game day.
Steelers Style, which is presented by Amazon, Neighborhood Ford Store, PNC, UPMC and UPMC Health Plan, is co-chaired by Art and Greta Rooney and Mike and Kiya Tomlin.
Steelers Style, which is the team’s largest annual fundraiser, benefits UPMC Sports Medicine Concussion Program, Cancer Bridges and the Chuck Noll Foundation.
“To do it for the charities, that is special and really cool,” said Elliott. “As players, we are blessed to play this game. But to be able to give back to the community as well, it is really cool.”
There will also be an online auction, presented by Acrisure, that will benefit the three charities.
Items in the auction include signed items and memorabilia from current players, an exclusive private tour of the Steelers Hall of Honor Museum, a chance to design the next Terrible Towel, autographed Limited Edition Terrible Towels, tickets to the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre’s performance of the Nutcracker and a private backstage tour, and more. The auction will run from noon on Oct. 8 though noon on Oct. 17.
