Savannah James’ Style Through the Years: LeBron James’ Wife’s Court Side Looks, Red Carpets and Fashion Weeks


Savannah James is the wife of professional basketball player and decorated athlete LeBron James. The couple has been married for more than 10 years. During her time in the spotlight, Savannah James' style has gone through an evolution, with her fashion sensibility and approach to style growing on and off the basketball courts, including on front rows during Paris Fashion Weeks.

When James started making more and more public appearances with her husband, it was evident that she had an eye for trends, texture and looks that worked for her. But everything changed when she began collaborating with stylist Casey "Icon" Billingsley in 2021.

One of their most notable collaborations came when the two worked together for the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, for which James wore a white-hot mermaid gown by Sergio Hudson. The look was a show-stopper, but the dress held an even deeper meaning. "These are the moments that I feel will propel her even further into the stratosphere," Icon said of the Vanity Fair Oscars Party look while speaking with WWD in March 2023.

"It's one thing to get with a starlet, someone who's famous and wants to change up their style or introduce themselves to a new audience, but this was something that was all-around different," the stylist explained further. "When I first started working with her it was like she was literally taking steps out of her cocoon," Icon said.

Since Icon began working with James, her style has reached an entirely new level. It's elevated, but it's still true to who she is. "Hitting the scene, doing carpets and taking these bold choices was a seed that I've been watering over time," Icon said. "As of recently, it's really blossoming and she's getting the hang of what all of this means and how she's being inserted into the conversation from a fashion perspective," Icon told WWD.

These days, whether she's hitting the red carpet or watching her husband on the court, James' style has a new level of confidence. While sitting court side to watch the Los Angeles Lakers, for whom her husband plays, take on the Indiana Pacers in March 2024, James wore a Balenciaga hoodie with her hair styled in a shiny white-silver look.
