Adam Sandler is facing a wave of criticism after showing up in his signature casual style to support his wife at a high-profile movie premiere in Los Angeles.
The 59-year-old comedian accompanied his wife, Jackie Sandler, to the world premiere of the upcoming Netflix film Office Romance, where she stars alongside Jennifer Lopez. While Jackie arrived dressed in a shimmering black mini dress and heels, Sandler opted for a much more laid-back look.
Staying true to his well-known comfort-first fashion sense, the Uncut Gems star wore a bright orange New York Knicks hoodie, blue joggers, and green sneakers with purple laces—an outfit that quickly drew attention on social media.
Fans were divided over the appearance, with some calling the look “embarrassing” and questioning why he didn’t dress more formally for the occasion. Others joked that Sandler’s relaxed style is exactly what makes him, well, Sandler, pointing out that he’s been dressing this way for years.
The actor has long defended his wardrobe choices, previously saying his wife has always supported his comfort-first approach to fashion. Sandler has often brushed off criticism, even leaning into his casual image at public events, including past award shows.
Despite the online chatter, the couple—married since 2003—appeared happy together at the premiere, continuing a long-standing pattern of Sandler staying true to his famously laid-back style no matter the occasion.#newsafro_
