Basketball season is back, and Irina Shayk is here to fill our mood boards with courtside style inspiration.
Last night, the supermodel attended the Knicks–Clippers game at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, and she brought good friend and designer Riccardo Tisci, former creative director of Burberry, as her date.
For the occasion, Shayk wore a long black turtleneck top with short sleeves as a minidress, and finished her look with brown and black thigh-high leopard-print boots with stiletto heels (possibly from Kim Kardashian’s collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana). She seemed to wear no accessories, other than a gold watch with a black leather band; as for glam, she opted for natural, bronzy makeup, a subtle nude manicure, and a straight hairdo.
Shayk’s dramatic shoe choice has become the go-to style amongst celebrities when it comes to casually hot courtside fashion.

Last November, Emily Ratajkowski famously stepped out for a courtside date with Hollywood’s boyfriend, Pete Davidson, in a pair of long leopard-print boots. The My Body author wore the shoes with a simple white tee, blue jeans, and a brown cropped puffer from the North Face.
Kendall Jenner—a known NBA fan—has also worn high animal-print boots to sit courtside. For her first public appearance with boyfriend Bad Bunny in May, at Los Angeles’s Crypto.com Arena, the model wore sleek brown snakeskin boots. She styled the knee-high stiletto boots with a classic white tank top and a dyed-brown miniskirt. Jenner then added an array of gold accessories including thick hoop earrings, a square pendant necklace, and several rings.
