The Jordyn Woods Karl-Anthony Towns wedding took place on Saturday in Malibu, California, with a guest list that mixed NBA locker rooms with Hollywood front rows along a Pacific Ocean backdrop draped in white flowers.
Woods wore a strapless white gown with a floor-length skirt and matching lace veil. Towns was in a classic black tuxedo and bow tie. By all accounts, a good time was had by all, and the hoodies alone were worth the trip.
The Knicks Came Out in Force
According to Page Six, Towns’ New York Knicks teammates OG Anunoby, Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart were all in attendance. So this was not simply a celebrity gathering with a basketball player in the middle of it, the Knicks showed up as a unit.
Guests received hoodies reading ‘Married in 5’, a nod to Towns’ recent NBA Finals win with the Knicks, according to ESPN. It is the kind of wedding favour that doubles as a flex, and no one in that room was complaining.
How the Jordyn Woods and Karl-Anthony Towns Relationship Unfolded
Woods and Towns went Instagram official in September 2020, when Woods shared a series of photos with the caption, ‘I found you, then I found me.’ Towns posted his own pictures from the same day, writing, ‘There are darknesses in life and there are lights, and you are one of the lights, the light of all lights.’
ESPN reports that Towns proposed to Woods on Christmas Day last year in New York City. From a beach Instagram post in 2020 to a Malibu ceremony, they have taken their time about it, and clearly done it properly.
The Celebrity Guest List
Kylie Jenner attended with her boyfriend Timothée Chalamet. Jenner wore a black halter dress with side cutouts held together with rhinestone belts; Chalamet was in a blue checkered button-down, black slacks and a black leather jacket. The pair were seated alongside Justin and Hailey Bieber, with Justin in a black suit and Hailey in a black gown with a jewel-covered bust.
The wider crowd included Jada Pinkett-Smith, Teyana Taylor, Gayle King, Michael B. Jordan, Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor. Jenner and Woods have been longtime friends, which goes some way to explaining the overlap between the NBA and entertainment contingents filling out the venue.
It is the sort of occasion where the seating plan must have been a project in itself. Brunson, Hart and Anunoby at one table; Chalamet in a leather jacket somewhere nearby. Someone earned their fee putting that room together.
The ‘Married in 5’ hoodies, each guest going home with a piece of championship merchandise rebranded as a wedding keepsake, are the detail that will travel furthest. A Knicks Finals win stitched into a wedding souvenir is the kind of thing that only works if the timing lines up perfectly, and for Towns and Woods on Saturday in Malibu, it did.
