Wilson wore a leopard-print gown, and Adebayo wore the long green overcoat, pairing it with a pair of black trousers and boots.

"Now why does Bam look like he went into A’ja closet for that coat? Take her is off now!"

One of the fans said that the NBA star looked like the leading character from the Matrix movie.

"why is this ni*** dressed like Neo with zero super powers."

Meanwhile, a fan reacted to Bam's outfit with a fire emoji.

"Bam got that shit on!!🔥🔥."

"Tf is he wearing?"

A fan gave props to the couple.

"They look so nice."

One fan showered praise on A'ja Wilson and credited her hard work for her success.

"A'ja has put in the work for years, and now she is reaping MASSIVE benefits for her hard work and success. WOW!"
