Commanders WAGs shine with game-day glam before home opener

On a sunny Sunday, the Commanders celebrated their home opener against the Giants at Northwest Stadium, where the atmosphere was filled with excitement. Prior to the game, significant others of the players, known as WAGs, were pampered by celebrity makeup artist Allison Kaye, who created stunning game-day looks for them. Kaye utilized high-quality products to ensure the makeup would withstand the heat, including Beauty Pie’s setting spray and Huda Beauty’s setting powder. The game itself was thrilling, culminating in a nail-biting finish. Commanders kicker Austin Seibert secured the victory with a last-second 30-yard field goal, leading to a 21-18 win and marking the team’s first victory of the 2024 season. Melanie Ekeler, wife of running back Austin Ekeler, expressed her pride in her husband’s performance on social media after he rushed for 38 yards during the game. Following the game, the WAGs planned to continue their bonding experience with a luncheon the next day, highlighting the camaraderie among the partners of the players. Kaye noted the genuine friendships that had developed among the women, which added to the overall team spirit. Next week, the Commanders are set to face the Bengals in a highly anticipated Monday Night Football matchup, promising more excitement for the team and its supporters. The combination of a successful game and the strong community among the players' partners sets a positive tone for the season ahead.
