Celebrity Sunday: Henrik Lundqvist

In honor of the events that are about to unfold at 6:30 tonight, I've decided to focus on the sports spectrum for today's celebrity fashion influence. Although he is not a player that will be padding up tonight, he is a resident of New York and his performances in the Coors Light Stadium Series are worth some recognition.
Doing his thing (stopping shots) as per usual.
Henrik Lundqvist, Swedish national and deservedly the King of Hockey in Sweden, has been manning the pipes for the New York Rangers for the past eight years. You'd be hard pressed to find a goalie be so consistently good as Lundy has for such a long stint in the NHL, and even more difficult to find a sports star who knows how to bring the style day in and day out. I have been guilty of it as I'm sure most of us have been in thinking that goalies are fat because of their pads, but when King Henrik isn't stopping pucks, he is clad in some fine tailoring.


Many prominent publications (GQ, Esquire, Details, etc.) and online fashion institutions have consistently placed Lundqvist in their Most Fashionable lists every year. His suits always seem to be expertly tailored and tend to feature the latest style trends. I don't know how he does it, but competing in the long season in sports and still have the time to look great is a feat in and of itself. Despite his Blue and Yellow obligations this winter in Sochi, I will be rooting for him to have a great Olympics.


In a related note, if anyone knows how to get their hands on the New York Rangers Varsity Jackets from the Stadium Series, let me know! Probably the nicest jackets I've seen in a long time. Check in daily for more fashion advice and next Sunday for another celebrity fashion influencer!
