Adam Sandler was lambasted by fans for wearing sweatpants and a hoodie to his wife’s film premiere in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
The comedian, 59, accompanied his wife Jackie, 51, to the star-studded world premiere of the upcoming Netflix film Office Romance, where she stars alongside Jennifer Lopez.
But though his other half arrived at the event dressed to the nines in a shimmering black mini dress and heels, Sandler opted for his signature laid-back look.
The Uncut Gems star and his spouse looked like they were attending two completely different functions, with Sandler wearing a bright orange Knicks hoodie and blue joggers, prompting fans to complain that he ‘couldn’t be bothered to change out of his sweats.’
He completed the garish ensemble with green sneakers featuring purple shoelaces.
‘So he really couldn’t put on a dress shirt and some slacks? Goofy,’ one fan wrote, while another slammed the display as ’embarrassing.’

‘I feel like it’s one thing when he’s promoting or doing his own projects but for his wife’s work you think he could throw on some khakis and a golf shirt at least lol,’ someone else chimed in.
‘Yeah he’s trying so hard to look like he doesn’t care but it’s giving opposite,’ yet another fan wrote.
‘He always looks like he just turned thirteen and discovered his dad’s credit card.’
‘He sounds like a freaking 6 year old. Wah, I don’t want to wear a suit.’
‘It must be so cool to be a man and be allowed to look like s**t.’
‘If he was actually so “disinterested” as he pretends to be you would never see him in any paparazzi pics or movies.’
Others defended the actor, with one writing, ‘I mean, for Sandler that’s pretty much formal wear.’
‘Knowing his track record, I’m impressed the sweats and sweater match (not giving him a pass, just saying).’

Sandler’s bright outfit was a nod to his beloved New York Knicks, who secured a spot in the NBA Finals on Monday, after sweeping the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The win marked the first time that the Knicks have reached the NBA’s championship series since 1999.
Despite their very different styles, Sandler previously shared that Jackie supports him wearing what he is comfortable in.
‘My wife always was nice to me about my clothes. Even when we were young, others would say, “Would you put on something better than that? Your wife’s dressed so beautifully,”‘ he previously told Complex.
‘My wife would say, “He’s comfortable like that. Let him do that. Leave him alone.”‘
Sandler and Jackie have been married since 2003 and share daughters Sadie, 20, and Sunny, 17.
Office Romance is set to hit Netflix on June 5.
Sandler is famous for his nonchalant style.

In 2023, Justin Bieber committed a similar fashion faux pas when he showed up to support wife Hailey at a launch for her Rhode brand in a look that didn’t match her stylish vibe
‘Adam, what are you wearing?’ O’Brien asked, joking that Sandler was ‘dressed like a guy playing video poker at 2 a.m.’
‘Nobody even thought about what I was wearing until you brought it up,’ Sandler said.
‘I like the way I look. Because I’m a good person. I don’t care about what I wear and what I don’t wear. My snazzy gym shorts and fluffy sweatshirt offend you so much that you had to mock me in front my peers!’
Sandler isn’t the only star to face the wrath of fans after showing up to his wife’s high-profile event in ultra casual attire.
In 2023, Justin Bieber raised eyebrows with his outfit choice when he showed up to support wife Hailey at a launch for her Rhode brand. While Hailey wore a stunning red mini dress, Bieber arrived in a grey hoodie and shorts paired with yellow Crocs.
