In this year’s NBA Draft, the rookies didn’t just show up for the league—they showed out in style. While the spotlight usually falls on stats and scouting reports, it was the sartorial choices that kept our attention.
The 2025 NBA Draft had plenty of expected picks, emotional moments, surprise selections, and a whole lot of #PinoyPride.
There was also plenty of drip with these fine sartorial choices.
Here’s a look at the most stylish statements.
Cooper Flagg – No.1 Pick, Dallas Mavericks
Cooper Flagg kept it sharp in a navy Italian stretch wool three-piece suit by BOSS, styled with a crisp slim-fit shirt and pure silk jacquard tie. Classic, clean, and composed—just like his game.
Off the court, Flagg also scored big: on draft day, BOSS announced him as their newest U.S. brand ambassador, marking the start of a fashion partnership fit for the No. 1 pick.
Dylan Harper – No. 2 Pick, San Antonio Spurs
Harper brought elegance with edge in a black Barocco jacquard suit by Versace, lined with red satin and paired with a slim black shirt and tie. He finished the look with Christian Louboutin’s Dandelion Spikes loafers, flashing the brand’s iconic red sole with every step.
A stitched mantra—“Never too high, never too low”—inside the jacket added a personal touch to the polished fit.
But beyond the designer threads, Harper also carried Filipino pride with him on draft night. The Fil-Am star—whose mother hails from Bataan, Philippines—became one of the highest drafted players with Filipino roots, giving fans back home another reason to celebrate.
VJ Edgecombe – No. 3 Pick, Philadelphia 76ers
Edgecombe went for sleek and personal style in a classic black suit designed by his own brother, adding a deeply personal touch to his draft night look.
The outfit paid homage to their Bahamian heritage, with subtle detailing and a compass necklace symbolizing direction and identity.
Kon Knueppel – No. 4 Pick, Charlotte Hornets
Knueppel leaned into Hornets green with a polished blue suit and sewed in team pride with gold accents—from tie to pocket square.
Ace Bailey – No. 5 Pick, Utah Jazz
Bailey arrived at Barclays Center in a black suit with a red button-down shirt and a custom chain, but the real statement was inside the jacket: photos of his family sewn into the lining.
The look paid tribute to both his roots and his college program, making it one of the most personal fits on the carpet.
Tre Johnson – No. 6 Pick, Washington Wizards
Johnson broke tradition with a tailored blazer-and-shorts combo, making casual work of the red carpet. Monochrome tones and crisp tailoring showed a modern, confident take.
Jeremiah Fears – No. 7 Pick, New Orleans Pelicans
Fears showed up in a deep burgundy suit with sharp accents and standout jewelry. He looked every bit the poised pro stepping into a key role in New Orleans.
Asa Newell – No. 23 Pick, Atlanta Hawks
Newell turned heads in an iridescent purple Brian Alexander Bespoke suit, paired with pearls and a Rolex.
Carter Bryant – No. 14 Pick, San Antonio Spurs
Bryant balanced sleek tailoring with street flair—deep V-neck under his suit, heavy jewelry.
Joan Beringer – No. 17, Minnesota Timberwolves
Frenchman Joan Beringer brought old-world European charm in a burnt-salmon suit, minimal accessories, and a composed stance—quiet confidence on display.
From fluro highlights to hidden mottos, this draft was a runway as much as it was a roster pick event.
Players worked with top-tier designers—BOSS, Versace, Brian Alexander Bespoke—and used accessories for added flair.
For many of these young stars, dressing up wasn’t just about style—it was about stepping into a new chapter with confidence. Each look reflected not just personality, but purpose.
On a night where dreams came true, their fashion helped say what words couldn’t: I’ve arrived.
