When you think of a wedding outfit, you probably imagine something sleek, classy, and respectful of the occasion. You know, dark suit, maybe a tie, clean shoes. What you probably don’t picture is… well… Chet Holmgren at Alex Caruso’s wedding. On August 10, 2025, the Oklahoma City Thunder squad rolled into teammate Alex Caruso’s big day as he married Haleigh Broucher, just one year after announcing their engagement. But while the ceremony was about love, commitment, and lifelong partnership, one guest stole the spotlight, whether he meant to or not.
That guest? Chet Holmgren, who decided to roll up in what can only be described as a Miami drug lord starter kit. We’re talking full white suit, blazing red shirt, chunky gold chains, and the kind of swagger that screamed “I just stepped out of a Scarface reboot.” Naturally, NBA Twitter did not hold back. He “did not understand the assignment at all,” wrote one fan via X.
Fans compared him to everyone from Al Pacino’s iconic Scarface character to a ’70s adult film star, a Baltic mob boss from the 80s, and even, my personal favorite, “a Las Vegas-themed Vampire.” One comment summed it up perfectly.
Chet Holmgren Pulls Up To Alex Caruso’s Wedding
Now, Chet isn’t just some rookie looking for attention. The No. 2 pick of the 2022 NBA Draft just secured the bag this summer. He signed a massive five-year, $250 million extension with OKC, matching Paolo Banchero’s rookie-max deal. By the 2030-31 season, he’s projected to earn a ridiculous $54.6 million. So, if anyone can afford to wear a questionable wedding fit just for the fun of it, it’s him.
But here’s where the irony kicks in: despite the monster payday, NBA legends aren’t convinced Holmgren is a star. And to be fair, in their championship season, he only played 32 regular-season games, averaging 15 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 assists in 27 minutes per night.
Is Chet Holmgren Part of the Oklahoma City Thunder’s Big Three?
Still, when the playoffs came, Chet posted 15.2 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks in 23 games to help OKC win its first-ever NBA title. Even if the numbers don’t scream “superstar,” plenty of players will tell you he’s a difference-maker.
So, is Chet Holmgren a future superstar? Maybe. Is he already a wedding style icon? Absolutely, just maybe not for the reasons he’d hope. Whether you think he crossed the line by wearing white to someone else’s big day or you love the boldness, there’s no denying he got people talking.
And honestly, that might have been the point. After all, when you’ve got a quarter-billion-dollar contract, a championship ring, and the confidence to channel Tony Montana at a teammate’s wedding, you’re clearly not too worried about blending in. Say hello to Chet Holmgren, the NBA’s newest king of chaotic wedding fits.
