Rob Dillingham dipped his hand into the world of fashion ahead of the 2024 NBA Draft, and the final product was showcased on the red carpet ahead of hearing his named called on stage.

The former Kentucky guard helped design the flashy, bedazzled suit that appears to feature different gems and sparkles throughout the coat. He matched that with a diamond necklace and classic black and white Converse sneakers for added flavor.

Check out Dillingham’s shifty, sparkly new suit below:

Dillingham showed out at Kentucky during his lone season in Lexington. He averaged 15.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game while shooting 47.5% from the field and 44.3% from beyond the arc. For his efforts, he was named the 2024 SEC Sixth Man of the Year and an All-SEC Second Team member.

“It was an up-and-down season with a lot of great moments,” Dillingham said during his NBA commitment announcement. “We won a lot of games with a young team. It was a great learning experience, and it was amazing to share it with my teammates. I learned how to be for everyone; that’s what wins games.”

Before Kentucky, Dillingham played high school basketball at Overtime Elite, where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 16 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

As for where he’ll ultimately land during the NBA Draft — Dillingham feels prepared for whatever is ahead.

“It doesn’t matter what pick I am, if I get picked 60th,” he continued. “I want to go to a team that trusts me and can help me build, and I can build with them, and make me better. I just want to help my team win, and they can develop me and teach me things.

“Anyone can be special if they put their mind toward it. Just have confidence. It’s about what you put your mind into.”

Dillingham will be alongside Kentucky teammate Reed Sheppard on Wednesday, both of whom are expected to be first-round draft choices on Wednesday. It remains to be seen if their teammate Antonio Reeves hears his name called. Sheppard is expected to be one of, if not the first traditional college basketball player to be selected.

The 2024 NBA Draft is set to begin at 8 p.m. ET and will air live on ESPN and ABC. Wednesday will feature the first round of the event, while the second round will be held on Thursday.
