As the New York Knicks advance through the NBA Finals, a notable presence courtside is Jordyn Woods, model and entrepreneur, who is engaged to Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns. Woods has been spotted alongside other celebrities, including Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet, as they rally behind the team. Towns proposed to Woods on Christmas Eve, adding a personal touch to her support during this pivotal moment in the Knicks’ season.
Celebrating the Knicks’ Journey
Ahead of Game 5 against the San Antonio Spurs, Woods expressed her enthusiasm for supporting Towns throughout the Finals. She highlighted how the Knicks’ playoff run has fostered a sense of unity among New Yorkers. Witnessing the team’s historic Game 4 comeback at Madison Square Garden was particularly memorable for her, as was the emergence of her orange purse as an unexpected good-luck charm.
A Unique Partnership
Woods shared her excitement about her collaboration with Reese’s x Oreo, noting the significance of the orange and blue colors that resonate with the Knicks’ identity. She reminisced about her childhood fondness for Reese’s, stating that it felt serendipitous to partner with a brand that aligns with her personal history and the current spirit of the city.
Game-Day Glam
Woods has garnered attention for her game-day fashion, which she approaches with a personal touch. She manages her makeup routine herself, often documenting the process. Her signature orange bag has become a staple, and she selects her outfits based on the vibe of the game day. When traveling, she opts for more casual attire, ensuring comfort while navigating different arenas. She also keeps Reese’s x Oreos in her bag as a go-to snack for an energy boost during games.
The Lucky Purse Tradition
The tradition of bringing a lucky game-day purse began organically for Woods. She noted that it was never her intention to create a superstition, but the team’s success when she carries the bag has led to a growing narrative among fans. The pressure of the tradition has intensified, especially after a loss when she forgot to bring it. Woods appreciates the phenomenon, attributing its popularity to social media rather than her own efforts.
Atmosphere at Madison Square Garden
Woods described the atmosphere at Madison Square Garden during the Finals as electric. The excitement reached a peak during Game 4 when the crowd’s energy was palpable, with the venue vibrating from the fans’ enthusiasm. She emphasized that the experience of being part of such a passionate fandom is unparalleled.
Community Impact
Woods highlighted the broader impact of the Knicks’ success on the city, noting a sense of community that has emerged.

Celebrating Potential Victory
When discussing potential celebrations if the Knicks win the Finals, Woods indicated that she and Towns are focused on taking it one game at a time. They prefer to stay grounded and humble, living in the moment rather than planning too far ahead. Woods is also in her “bridal era,” looking forward to their upcoming wedding, which adds another layer of excitement to this period in their lives.
