There's been no shortage of parties and events packed with celebrities during Super Bowl LVII weekend in and around the Phoenix, Arizona area, where the big game is being played, and across the country. 

Jay-Z, 53, and Kevin Hart, 43, were just two of the big stars that attended Michael Rubin's 2023 Fanatics Super Bowl Party on Saturday, one day before a new NFL champion will be crowned.

It's one of many celebrity-filled parties and events being held ahead of the face-off between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles at State Farm Stadium in nearby Glendale.

But over the years, Rubin, the Fanatics CEO, has established his Super Bowl-themed soirees as being among the more coveted with celebs and partygoers leading into the Super Bowl.

Jay-Z (born Shawn Corey Carter) was spotted chatting with some friends in the outside patio of the Arizona Biltmore, A Waldorf Astoria Resort, dressed in black pants with a matching hoodie and white sneakers.

The Can't Knock The Hustle rapper and Roc Nation founder took notice of one of the admiring photographers and offered a welcoming smile with his long dreads falling over his shoulders and down his back.

The New York City native, who's Roc Nation agency has had a sports management division since 2013, also sported stylish dark sunglasses with the sun glaring down on a day where the temperature topped out in the mid-70s Fahrenheit.

Seemingly the life of the party, Hart showed off his fashion sense and the boisterous and hilarious side of his personality in a very cool black jacket with jagged white trim and matching pants and sneakers.

He made his grand entrance with his wife Eniko Parrish, 38, by his side wearing a leggy ensemble consisting of blue-patterned shorts with a brown Gucci crop top and open-toe heels.

When he wasn't making the rounds, meeting with other celebrity guests, the couple spent some time hanging with the host of the party, Michael Rubin, who at one point tried to hand-feed Hart as they were all enjoying lunch, in a hilarious moment.

The Ride Along funnyman was also seen chatting it up with singer and TikTok star Dixie D'Amelio, 21, who looked fashionable in golden slacks, a black bustier and matching platform boots.

It's no secret that Hart is rooting for his hometown team, the Eagles, for which he's been showing his fandom and allegiance by wearing team merchandise, including a letterman jacket, in recent days.

Just three days ago, the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania native posed next to an Eagle and wrote,  'Fly Flllllyyyyyyyy #PhillyKid,' along with an eagle emoji.

Like Hart, Tiffany Haddish has never had a problem with making a big impression, especially when she makes her grand entrance to a fun-filled party.

The actress and stand-up comedian was sipping on a drink when she showed up at the entrance, rocking a baby blue shorts jumpsuit and silver heels to go along with her short platinum blonde locks.

It didn't take long before she met up with Hart, her Night School co-star, and then proceeded to go into storytelling mode, which left them both laughing out loud at times.

The Los Angeles native, 43, eventually made her way to the red carpet area to strike a few poses in the summer-like ensemble while holding footballs with the logo of both the Eagles and the Chiefs. 

As part of the lead-up to the Super Bowl, Haddish is serving as one of the co-hosts of Byron Allen presents The Comedy & Music Superfest, in an NBC broadcast on Saturday night , where she shares the stage with Kenan Thompson, Howie Mandel and Cedric The Entertainer. 

There are also musical performances by John Legend, Boyz II Men, Earth, Wind and Fire, Gladys Knight and Toni Braxton. 

Gawkers at the bash would also notice DJ Khaled (born Khaled Mohammed Khaled) hanging out in an all-black outfit that included a leather jacket and loose-fitting pants.

The DJ, record executive, record producer and rapper, 47, also sported cool sunglasses as he made his way in the outside area, where he bumped into a slew of stars he's knows and struck up a conversation. 

Ryan Phillippe, 48, also made an appearance, sporting a football t-shirt, grey jeans, sneakers and sunglasses. 

There was plenty of other musical artists on hand, such as rapper Quavo (born Quavious Keyate Marshall), who's the co-founder of the hip hop group Migos.

The Athens, Georgia native, 31, had his long braids falling down over his white and red jacket that was matched with fded jeans and sneakers.

Questlove, drummer for The Roots, was another musician on the party's VIP guest list.

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon band leader, 52, arrived looking cool and fashionable in black, all while flashing the infectious smile that always seems to be lighting up some room.

Dressed in black, J Balvin (born José Álvaro Osorio Balvín), 37, also enjoyed the gorgeous weather hanging outside with friends.

The Prince of Reggaeton sported cool shades when he did a round of photos in the red carpet area for photographers.

The party host and Fanatics CEO also conversed with rap superstar Travis Scott, 30, who wore black zipper pants with a black long-sleeve shirt.

Rapper and singer Drake (born Aubrey Drake Graham), 36, caught the attention of fans and guests when he and his crew dropped by to take in the festive atmosphere.

The Certified Lover Boy would also be seen chatting on the phone as he and a few of his friends where making their way out of the venue.

There was also a quite a few models who attended the bash, including Winnie Harlow, 28, who arrived at the entrance in brown shorts and a matching crop top alongside Josie Canseco, 26.

The daughter of former baseball great Jose Canseco flaunted her lean figure in a skimpy yellow skirt and crop top with silver open-toe heels.

ASAP Ferg had his arm around Teyana Taylor, who showed off her washboard abs in a grey crop top and white jeans. 

The seemingly endless VIP list also included actor and comedian Paul Rudd, who at one point shared a few laughs with the owner of the New England Patriots, Robert Kraft, 81, as well as rapper Meek Mill (born Robert Rihmeek Williams), 35, reality star and fashionista Draya Michele, NBA star Devin Booker, 26, who happens to be the high-flying guard with the local Phoenix Suns, and DJ and social media darling Chantel Jeffries, 30.

By the time the day had given way to the evening, rappers Tyga (born Michael Ray Stevenson), 33, and YG (born Keenon Dequan Ray Jackson), 32, were spotted hanging with Cher's boyfriend Alexander Edwards, 35.

After getting playful by striking a number poses, the trio flashed a few hand signs and then proceeded to walk out of the venue and take off to another destination.
