Chet Holmgren's attire that he wore to the wedding of his OKC teammate Alex Caruso and 'Big Brother' alum Haleigh Broucher raised some eyebrows Saturday in Houston.
The 7-foot power forward stood out wearing an all-white checkered suit with a maroon dress shirt, sunglasses and gold chains.
After photos from the couple's wedding made social media rounds, Holmgren received some flack for his ensemble, as the bride traditionally wears white in Western cultures.

'Why is he wearing white a someone else's wedding that's so rude,' one person said.

Someone else likened Holmgren to 'an Elvis impersonator.'
Holmgren wasn't the only wedding guest wearing white.
Sacramento Kings, guard Zach LaVine, who played alongside Caruso in Chicago, wore an all-white suit and a Van Cleef & Arpels necklace, as seen in photos his wife, Hunter, shared on Instagram.

Taking to his Snapchat, Holmgren posted a photo with his OKC teammates — Luguentz Dort, Jaylin Williams, Isaiah Joe, Isaiah Hartenstein, Cason Wallace and Branden Carlson — holding up their ring fingers after defeating the Pacers in a Game 7 thriller to win the 2025 NBA Finals.
It marked the Thunder's first title as a franchise since locating the team to OKC in 2008.
Coby White, Javonte Green and Ayo Dosunmu, who all played with Caruso during his Chicago Bulls tenure from 2021-24, posed for photos at the wedding, which took place at The Astorian.
