LeBron James Credits Daughter Zhuri for Game-Day Wardrobe
While LeBron James is accustomed to making headlines for his on-court performance, his pre-game attire took center stage Sunday night. The Los Angeles Lakers forward arrived at Crypto.com Arena for a matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies wearing a look curated by a new stylist: his 11-year-old daughter, Zhuri Nova Ann Marie James.
As James made his traditional walk through the arena tunnel, he quickly credited the person behind his wardrobe selection.
"This is courtesy of Zhuri Nova Ann Marie James," James told team cameras as he showcased the ensemble.
The outfit featured a blue-and-yellow varsity jacket as the focal point, paired with light-washed denim jeans and Nike sneakers. The four-time NBA champion rounded out the look with a coordinated beanie, black-rimmed glasses, and a watch.
The styling choice resonated across social media, with the official accounts for the NBA and the Los Angeles Lakers highlighting the father-daughter collaboration. Fashion-centric platforms also noted the "varsity-cool" aesthetic, which blended classic streetwear elements with a personal family touch.
Zhuri, the youngest of LeBron and Savannah James' three children, has frequently been featured on her father's social media channels. However, this marked a public foray into game-day fashion coordination. The moment added a lighthearted, family-oriented layer to the Lakers' home stand as the team continues its mid-season push.
On the court, James has remained a focal point of the Lakers' rotation, but Sunday served as a reminder of his off-court role as a "Girl Dad," a title he has embraced throughout his 22-season career.
The "Zhuri-approved" look joins a long list of viral tunnel walks for James, who has used the pre-game entrance to showcase both high-fashion designers and, in this instance, his daughter's creative eye.
