Her father, Clark Hunt, is the CEO of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Gracie’s mother, Tavia Hunt, met Clark when interning for the team in 1991.
These days, Gracie spends a lot of time cheering on the Chiefs in any way she can.
She attends most of the team’s matches and isn’t afraid to rep some serious football merch.
That being said, Gracie has a family legacy to carry on outside of her connection to the Chiefs.
Keen on following in Tavia’s footsteps, Gracie began competing in pageants herself.
Growing up, Gracie wore a lot of casual, sporty clothes and off-the-rack tees.
When spending time with her gal pals, Gracie would tend towards the typical teenager fare.
Think tank tops and billowy shirts.
When she did wear makeup, Gracie avoided anything over the top.
Her look generally included a dash of lip gloss and a layer of mascara.
… My grandfather, Lamar Hunt, actually helped bring Major League Soccer to the United States."
Gracie initially hoped that by playing the “beautiful game,” she could carry on Lamar’s legacy.
While she understood the importance of recovering from her four concussions, Gracie also missed the competitiveness of sports.
Around the time she turned 17, Gracie began to see an opportunity in pageantry.
Tavia, however, wasn’t initially optimistic about her daughter’s plan.
At Gracie’s insistence, Tavia helped her daughter transform her wardrobe and refine her gait.
The results were striking.
During competitions, Gracie donned elaborate dresses.
Wearing this spaghetti strap dress, Gracie won the title and the right to don a glittering crown.
Traditionally “girly” colors like pink and purple came to the forefront of her wardrobe.
This shift became evident shortly after Gracie’s initial win.
Gracie certainly embraced the beauty pageant queen look to the fullest.
In April 2018, she jetted off to Los Angeles to co-host the Miss Teen California International pageant.
Gracie’s penchant for bold, scarlet dresses even carried over to her Memorial Day 2018 attire.
During the winter of 2019, Gracie spent a lot of time at this magical ski resort.
The football heiress' wardrobe included an increasing number of matching ensembles, and the results were a hit.
This piece combined perfectly with a pair of black fur-lined boots and a pair of black leggings.
Later that season, Gracie dressed to impress once again.
During the spring and summer of 2019, her Instagram presence began to grow.
This became especially clear when Gracie embarked on a trip to Paris.
She posed by the Eiffel Tower in a red pencil skirt with thin black stripes.
Ever one to love a matching ensemble, the football heiress paired the piece with a matching crop top.
As the summer progressed, Gracie continued rocking outfits that showed off her abs.
She began to wear more casual wear particularly clothes designed for working out.
Gracie went on to post several more quarantine shots of herself dressing casually at home.
In any given photo, she could be seen sporting yoga pants or running shorts with athletic shirts.
She began training her gait to prepare for the Miss USA competition.
To prepare for this, she began working with a professional, albeit in a mostly socially distanced way.
This was especially apparent in 2021 after Gracie brought home the title for Miss Kansas USA.
As the reigning beauty queen from her home state, Gracie was expected to perform charitable duties.
Many of her responsibilities focused on food preparation and distribution.
Not only did Gracie serve meals to the food insecure, but she also collected donations of non-perishable goods.
Never one to retreat from a challenge, Gracie integrated masks into her beauty queen wardrobe.
This was not the only time that Gracie wore a mask to her pageant queen duties.
She celebrated Thanksgiving 2021 by preparing takeaway meals for the Iron Gate soup kitchen.
In the spirit of cleanliness, Gracie donned an apron and a mask to the event.
In February 2023, she went to the NFL Commissioner’s Super Bowl Party in a dazzling gold dress.
The piece which was covered in sparkles bared her abdominals on both sides.
It’s worth noting that Gracie did not reserve her metallic attire for formal parties.
In December 2024, Gracie debutedher very own clothing linein partnership with the Wear by Erin Andrews brand.
Ever the beauty queen, Gracie wore an attention-grabbing, scarlet shade of lipstick to the big game.
The result was an explosion of red that left little room to doubt Gracie’s excitement for the game.
