Spike Lee is made a fashion statement in honor of Kobe Bryant at the Oscars on Sunday, February 9.
The basketball fan and Oscar winner, who directed the 2009 documentary "Kobe Doin' Work," paid tribute to Bryant at the 92nd annual Academy Awards Sunday in a purple and gold suit, a nod to Bryant's legendary career as a Los Angeles Laker.
Lee's Gucci suit featured Bryant's number "24" stitched on his lapels and on the back. He completed his look with a pair of orange and black Kobe sneakers from Nike and his signature hat and glasses, both purple.
During an interview with E!'s Ryan Seacrest, Lee was visibly emotional when asked about his fashionable tribute to Bryant, struggling to muster up a response.
Bryant, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven others were killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California on Jan. 26.
Bryant was also an Oscar winner.
The star's "Dear Basketball" won an Oscar for best animated short film at the 2018 Academy Awards. The six-minute film is based on a poem Bryant wrote that was published in The Players Tribune in 2015, when he announced his retirement from the NBA.
