The one unifier of NBA games? The celebrity courtside fashion. Whether you are there to watch your favorite team play or are just cosplaying a sports fan for the day, spotting the range of sporty style is half the fun. The front row of seats that line the basketball court is affectionately named "celebrity row," as it is regularly reserved for A-list celebrities and is always captured by the cameras. You can spot the same die-hard fans (yes, that's you, Timothée Chalamet) or an occasional surprise guest, wearing their finest fan fashion. From vintage Knicks starter jackets to lucky purses, there is no telling what you will spot as a spectator. Ahead, we found the best celebrity courtside fashion moments to help inspire your next NBA fan outfit.
Jordyn Woods at the Eastern Conference Finals, May 2026
Whether you believe in superstitions or not, ask any Knicks fan and they will tell you the power of Jordyn Wood's lucky purse. Part of her own accessories brand, she carries this leather orange clutch to cheer on her fiancé, Karl-Anthony Towns.
Pre-order her exact bag: Woods By Jordan Tux Clutch Mini 'Summer Citrus' in Orange Ostrich ($125).
Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner at the NBA Playoffs, May 2025
Arguably the most iconic courtside couple, you will always spot Chalamet and Jenner repping classic blue-and-orange Knicks colors. Here, Jenner showed off a vintage Knicks windbreaker paired with a classic dark blue jean, while Chalamet sported a sleek suede set.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce at Eastern Conference Finals, May 2026
Not all courtside appearances require team spirit. Instead of repping flashy colors, Swift opted for a black tank with a chain-embellished trim via the latest Stella McCartney x H&M collab. While her exact top is sold out, we found similar styles to recreate the look.
Shop: All Saints Lucy Tank Top ($129). Generation Love Mabel Chain Trim Top ($148). Forever 21 Plus Size Seamless Chain-Trim Tank ($11, originally $20).
Cardi B and Mary J. Blige at the Eastern Conference Playoffs, May 2025
These two music legends are proof that high fashion mixed with high energy is the secret to creating memorable courtside moments. We especially love Cardi's cropped leather jacket, which feels effortless yet sophisticated.
Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner at the NBA Playoffs, May 2025
The Jenner sisters cosign the easiest spectator fashion formula — a classic white or black tank top paired with leather pants. They customized the look with different accessories to make the standard outfit feel a bit more personal.
Winnie Harlow at Oklahoma City Thunder v Washington Wizards Game, January 2025
To cheer on her now-fiancé, Kyle Kuzma, Harlow embraced winter whites from head to toe. From the fuzzy bucket hat to the chunky Moon Boots, the neutral color palette stood out against the sporty crowd.
Teyana Taylor at Denver Nuggets v Sacramento Kings Game, February 2024
Taylor found the perfect balance of style and comfort with this courtside look. Sticking to the basics, she paired a white cropped T-shirt with baggy cargo pants. To make the ensemble feel cohesive, she even matched her maroon frames to her Nike sneakers.
Ellie Goulding at Phoenix Suns v Los Angeles Lakers Game, April 2026
When in doubt, take a page out of Goulding's fashion book and opt for a classic all-black outfit. The combination of black denim, a leather jacket, and mesh flats feels elevated while still being subtle.
Adele at the Denver Nuggets v Los Angeles Lakers Game, April 2024
Adele's courtside moments often end up as memes, but her sense of style is nothing to joke about. Here, the singer paired baggy black trousers with a bright white power pump.
Megan Thee Stallion at Chicago Bulls v Boston Celtics Game, December 2024
Leave it to Megan Thee Stallion to be anything but subtle when attending a sports game. From the fur jacket and fuzzy YSL bag to the chunky Timberland boots, she wanted to make a statement.
