Another NBA Draft means another batch of rookies suiting up nicely for the big day.
The 2026 NBA Draft is now in the books, with AJ Dybantsa going number one to the Washington Wizards, followed by Darryn Peterson to the Utah Jazz, and Cam Boozer going third to the Memphis Grizzlies.
Aside from rebuilding teams getting fresh talents, the NBA Draft has always doubled as a runway. Rookies often show up in unique suits, with some honoring their roots, while others are simply out to express their personal styles. At times, it could be a mix of both.
With that being said, here’s five of our best looks from this year’s draft.
Mikel Brown Jr.
Starting off our list is Mikel Brown Jr. who was selected sixth by the Brooklyn Nets. The former Louisville Cardinal wore a clean white suit that was complemented by his favorite color: baby blue.
The inner lining of Brown’s suit contained the Puerto Rican flag, along with native flowers from the country.
Isaiah Evans
Though he wasn’t picked in Round 1, Isaiah Evans definitely stood out with his look — a dark blue double-breasted suit with red pinstripes. Elevating this fit is a diamond wallet chain that reportedly cost along with a diamond brooch that included a red ruby at the center.
According to the New York Post, Evans’ accessories amounted to four million USD — a million for the wallet chain, and three million for the brooch.
Dailyn Swain
Another outfit that proves that less is more. For his NBA Draft moment, Dailyn Swain rocked an all-red double breasted suit that was accentuated by a silver chain and bracelet. Perhaps it was foreshadowing for Swain, who was selected 15th-overall by the Chicago Bulls.
Cameron Boozer
Boozer brought us back in time with his NBA Draft look, rocking an all-white suit that reminded us of LeBron James when he was selected first-overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2003.
AJ Dybantsa
Last but not least is first-overall pick AJ Dybantsa, whose NBA Draft suit reflected his self-confidence. The BYU standout was dressed in a Kenzo suit that came with floral patterns, and was made in Paris as a reference to his father’s upbringing in the French capital. Instead of traditional buttons, the suit is tied to the side, according to Dybantsa.
Further elevating Dybantsa’s look is a rainbow Hublot watch, silver bracelet, and pins that paid tribute to his roots from the Republic of Congo and Jamaica. Dybantsa also honored late Kentucky Wildcats player Terrence Clarke through a “TC5” pin. Clarke, who passed away in a traffic accident in 2021, was reportedly a big brother figure to Dybantsa during his childhood days in Boston.
