Cooper Flagg did not come dressed to impress, according to social media.

Flagg, projected to be the number one pick at the NBA Draft 2025, attended the event in New York City on Wednesday, wearing a pair of velvet loafers from Christian Louboutin.

Flagg paired his Louboutins with a navy three-piece suit by Boss. As for his accessories, Flagg donned a bedazzled timepiece by Hublot, per WWD.

After the Dallas Mavericks select Cooper Flagg as the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA Draft on Wednesday night, the outfit he’s wearing will be available for purchase on the BOSS website.

Everything altogether is quite expensive, but not everybody was feeling the look.

Flagg averaged 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.4 blocks while shooting 38.5% from three-point range for Duke. He was the national player of the year before declaring for the draft.

Flagg led Duke to the Final Four, earning accolades such as ACC Player of the Year and Wooden and Naismith awards, averaging 19.2 points and impressive shooting percentages.

It has now been confirmed Ant was away on a family holiday so was unable to make the reception, with Dec attending alongside his wife Alison (pictured)

Yet it isn’t the first time Ant’s absence has been noted after the Geordie TV star failed to attend the reception for the winners of the 20th Prince’s Trust Awards at the palace in May 2024.

King Charles couldn’t contain his laughter during a sweet encounter with Dec as he asked where his right-hand man was.

Explaining why Ant wasn’t able to attend his event, Dec joked that Ant was ‘too busy breastfeeding’ after welcoming his first child with wife Anne-Marie, a son named Wilder.

Dec said: ‘Good to see you, nice to see you too. He’s [Ant] not here today but he sends his apologises. He’s got a week old baby so he’s home breastfeeding or something.’

King Charles asked: ‘Is it his first one [child]?’

Dec responded: ‘Yeah, it’s his first one. They’ve got daughters from previous marriages but it’s his first one.’

‘So will you please give him my many congratulations’, King Charles added.

Dec said: ‘I will, of course.’
