This has been the summer to end all summers—at least, if you’re a sports fan. The New York Knicks won the NBA championships for the first time since 1973. The FIFA World Cup touched down in North America, including major American cities like L.A. and NYC. Wimbledon drew everyone across the pond to see Serena Williams make a comeback (and have a Pimm’s Cup).
Personally, I duck at any projectile flying for my face, meaning I’m not interested in playing basketball, tennis or soccer. However, I have been watching all these sporting events with a laser focus on the celebrity spectators—more specifically, their outfits. Stars have treated the court, pitch and royal box like a personal runway, with the likes of Taylor Swift, Kate Middleton, Shakira and others making the actual match feel like the side show. Below, the best-dressed cohort that made me wish I’d gotten tickets to see the matches.
