The story behind Jake Browning’s girlfriend Stephanie Niles’ viral outfit

Listen up, ladies.

The viral white bodysuit worn by Stephanie Niles, the girlfriend of Bengals backup quarterback Jake Browning, can be yours.

Niles nearly broke the internet when CBS cameras captured her wearing a custom white bodysuit with Browning’s initials and No. 6 on the front while cheering him on in a private suite at Paycor Stadium — where the Bengals beat the Browns, 31-14, in last Sunday’s season finale.

The white bodysuit will be available for sale Friday for $179, Taylor Damron, who is Niles’ cousin and designed the piece, told OutKick on Thursday.

Damron — who is a Jacksonville native and owns Elle & B Creative Co., an apparel and events business — said there are multiple people waiting for her famous bodysuit, and her business is booming.

Niles has also embraced the heightened attention.

“What a ride!!” she wrote on Instagram, including photos and videos from the game.

“How INSANE is this life!!!”

Damron explained that she started making custom pieces for Niles when the NFL Wag began getting TV time at Bengals games during Browning’s starts in place of an injured Joe Burrow.

Browning finished the year 4-3 as the starter after Burrow was sidelined for the season with a torn ligament in his wrist, which he suffered Nov. 16 against the Baltimore Ravens.

The Internet had a field day with Niles’ outfit, which stood out as everyone around her in the suite was wearing black.

“Jake Browning’s girlfriend with the most incredible outfit of all time,” one X user wrote, including a clip of her celebrating a Bengals reception in the first quarter during Sunday’s game.

“Wives and girlfriend’s group chats going crazy right now.”

Damron went on share that “people with a lot of followers” have reached out for her custom designs, but she’s not limiting herself only to the community of NFL Wags.

“I’m not wanting to focus completely on the [NFL wives and girlfriends],” she said. “There are a lot of gameday couture apparel girls doing just that.

“I’m leaning towards your average fan. It’s a much larger market and from there you have so much freedom in terms of where are we going to go with this. 

“My goal at the end of the day is to do custom pieces for [the WAGs], but we have to be honest and look at this as what WAG is going to put on a white bobsled-looking suit because they’re going to be compared to Stephanie Niles.”
