Adam Sandler Wears Knicks Hoodie to Wife's Movie Premiere

When your wife’s film is premiering on a major Hollywood stage, most people might reach for a tailored suit or at least a button-up. Adam Sandler? He grabbed a bright orange Knicks hoodie and blue sweats.

On Tuesday at The Egyptian Theater in Hollywood, the actor and comedian arrived at the world premiere of Netflix’s rom-com Office Romance—which stars Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein—in full team spirit mode. Jackie Sandler, who plays Caroline in the film, showed up looking polished in a casual-chic black ensemble, while her husband…well, he showed up looking like someone who had just rolled out of a basketball bar. His arm around Jackie’s shoulder, he seemed content with his sartorial choice, even as his eyes wandered the crowd.

This isn’t a departure for Sandler. His disdain for formal wear is the stuff of legend. Conan O’Brien even called him out for it during the 2025 Academy Awards, joking that the SNL alum looked like a guy playing video poker at 2 AM. Seeing him in an actual suit is so rare that it made headlines when he suited up for promotions alongside George Clooney for Jay Kelly.

But here’s the thing—there’s actually an explanation, and it’s pretty endearing. The New York Knicks just secured their first NBA Finals appearance since 1999 earlier this week. That’s huge for the franchise and its fans. Sandler was only 6 years old the last time the Knicks won a title, so maybe showing up in full Knicks gear wasn’t disrespect to the premiere; it was pure, unfiltered fandom at a genuinely exciting moment for the team.

Jackie didn’t seem bothered by her husband’s fashion statement. In fact, she smiled the whole time—and based on how he was treating her on the red carpet, it’s clear the real premiere moment for both of them was just being there together, regardless of what either of them wore. Sometimes that’s what matters more than the dress code anyway.
