Among the pomp and circumstance of Tom Brady’s induction into the New England Patriots Hall of Fame, one woman stole the show.
Camille Kostek, the model and TV host, arrived with her longtime friend and Brady’s former teammate Rob Gronkowski.
Kostek, the former SI swimsuit model, dazzled in a brown sequin dress as she walked the red carpet at Gillette Stadium for the event.
She is no stranger to Patriots events as Kostek, a Connecticut native, was a former Patriots cheerleader.
She then went on to star in television commercials and land on the 2019 SI swimsuit cover.

Kostek and Gronkowski were among 60,000 people who made the trek to Gillette to honor Brady on a special day.
Brady was inducted into the Hall-of-Fame earlier than the four years it typically takes to be recognized as one of the franchise’s all-time greats.
In September, it was announced during a game by team owner Robert Kraft that the grace period would be lifted to introduce Brady on “6/12”.
That date is special because it honors the quarterback’s number, 12, and the number of Super Bowl championships he won with New England, six.
Celebrities in attendance at the ceremony included Boston comedian Bill Burr, who delivered an opening monologue that kicked off proceedings.
Priot to Burr, American rapper Jay-Z performed his song ‘Public Service Announcement’ – the song Brady used as his debut song during his time in New England.
NBC Sports commentator Mike Tirico also came out and promised those in attendance that this was “not a roast, this is a toast” to Brady.
Much of that included a roundtable discussion with some Patriots legends like Ty Law, Devin McCourty, Willie McGinest and Vince Wilfork.

A number of former players also offered their congratulations, including Ed Reed, Ray Lewis, Michael Strahan, Jason Taylor, Eli Manning, Charles Woodson, Richard Sherman and Patrick Mahomes.
At one point, Brady’s old rival Peyton Manning appeared on stage where the pair recapped key moments from their controversial on-field matches.
Also in attendance was New Jersey native Jon Bon Jovi, a close friend of Kraft’s and whose musical sound tracked the Patriots’ touchdowns at Gillette Stadium for years.
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy was also there with three of his employees — a reunion of the group known as the “Brady Four” who were arrested during a sit-in at NFL headquarters in 2015 to protest the investigation into ‘Deflategate’.
It all ended when Brady was presented with a red jacket and the quarterback declared, “I am a Patriot” before a rapt audience of more than 60,000 people.
