The New York Knicks may have pulled off a huge Game 5 comeback, but somehow Sydney Sweeney ended up stealing almost as much attention as the players on the court.
That’s the power of celebrity courtside seating.
The 28-year-old actress showed up to support her boyfriend’s favorite team, and she made sure nobody would mistake her for a casual fan. Forget buying a standard team hoodie from the arena gift shop. Sydney decided to do things the celebrity way.

She rocked a custom Jalen Brunson jersey that had been transformed into a fitted tee. The shirt hugged her curves while dark-washed jeans kept the look casual. Well, “casual” by Hollywood standards.
The corset-inspired style was created by Awear Apparel, with Boston-based designer Kate Marr telling Page Six Style exclusively that she had just 24 hours to craft the custom piece.
The devil was in the details, however, as Sweeney upped the ante with a cobalt blue vintage Must de Cartier Tank watch and a stack of orange ($1,850) and diamond rings ($1,850) by New York-based jeweler Fry Powers.
Sweeney and Braun, 44, attended Wednesday night’s historic Game 4 in NYC, with the music exec revealing that his girlfriend surprised him with tickets “in the same section” as his dad and brother so he could “share it” with them.”
At the MSG game, Sweeney matched her beau in a windbreaker, and again added a little flair with her accessories, sporting vintage reworked Manolo Blahnik heels featuring a tiny basketball charm.
“Still buzzing and haven’t slept all night as that was one of the greatest nights of my life. That is what sports and basketball are all about. It brings people together,” Braun captioned an Instagram post, which featured videos of him celebrating with his dad, Ervin Braun, and his brother, Adam Braun.
By the final buzzer, the Knicks had completed their comeback and Sweeney had completed her journey from spectator to viral sensation.
Not bad for a night that was supposed to be about basketball.
Then again, when you’re Sydney Sweeney sitting courtside in New York, the internet is always watching.
