Condoleezza Rice makes her fashion debut as a model. The former Secretary of State is taking a break from politics and focusing on a more stylish arena.

The NFL has launched their women's apparel ad campaign featuring Rice donning a fitted Cleveland Browns jersey. Rice is an avid fan of the team, she claims that she "never miss[es] a game or chance to show off [her] team colors!" Interestingly enough, she was once engaged to a football player in the 70s -- this football modeling gig isn't so random after all.

The 57-year-old sports fan is joined in the ad by Ivanka Trump, Serena Williams, and other famous football loving ladies. Each ad features a woman sporting a jersey representing her favor team. The ad is taglined with "It's my team." NFL's director of apparel, Rhiannon Madden explains the female empowerment behind the caption; she says "It's your team - not your guy's team." Madden continued, "We want to show that you can be a [football] fan by what you wear to work, going to the gym or out at night with girlfriends."

Serena Williams loves the Dolphins. She even owns it!

According to the New York Times, women make up a full 45% of the NFL's overall fan base-and the NFL wants to cater to the women with fashionable sports gear-- fitted jerseys are a great start. The women's apparel line has even more in store. Couture designer Georgina Chapman of the luxurious brand Marchesa has teamed up with the NFL for a limited-edition shirt to be released on September 5.

This is great news for female football fans; however, nothing can replace a boyfriend's oversized jersey in the brisk autumn season. What do you think?
