Where else would Chloë Sevigny and DJ Pauly D ever sit together but courtside at a Knicks game?
“Celebrity row,” as the group of highly coveted—and equally visible—seats is known, is just as starry as Paris Fashion Week these days. And, though its occupants are often decked out in blue and orange, the VIP section of Madison Square Garden is still quite a fashionable affair.
Take Sevigny, a loyal Knicks fan, whose courtside attire has ranged from knee socks to a ’09 Cannes Festival cap to leopard print flare pants, and—yes—even spirited team merch. The public seats were also once favored by the ultra-private Olsens in the early days of The Row. Back in 2004, they loudly cheered on the Knicks, their slew of bangles clanging every time they clapped their hands.
Courtside photos are, above all, a trip down fashion memory lane. In the early aughts, Hilary Swank rocked a dress over pants, while Beyoncé stuffed her jeans into slouchy boots. And, lest anyone forget about the 2010s’ proclivity for neons, pleather leggings, and chokers, we have Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, and Zendaya’s game day looks to remind us.
In honor of the Knicks heading to the NBA Finals for the first time in 27 years, we took a look back at some standout courtside moments—and ’fits—over the years, from Paris Hilton’s denim miniskirt to Alexa Chung’s anti-sportswear and Kylie Jenner’s take on Knicks fan style.
