One of the biggest sporting events in the world took place in New Orleans as the Philadelphia Eagles clinched this year's Super Bowl with an emphatic 40-22 victory over defending champions the Kansas City Chiefs.

The event did not just bring out the best the NFL has had to offer this season - but plenty of Hollywood A-listers, musicians and US President Donald Trump were spotted in the stands of the Superdome.

Before the match started, actor Jon Hamm introduced the Chiefs while Bradley Cooper brought the hype for the Eagles.

Below are a selection of images of celebrities at this year's Super Bowl.
