Spike Lee honored Kobe Bryant at tonight's Oscars with a custom look on the red carpet.
The purple suit featured a gold trim β purple and gold are Lakers colors β and Kobe's jersey number, 24, embroidered on the front lapels...
...as well as on the back.
He finished the look off with a pair of Nike's Kobe 9 high-top sneakers.
Spike was not only a huge Kobe fan, but he also directed the 2009 sports documentary Kobe Doin' Work.
An official tribute to the late NBA star β who won an Oscar in 2018 for his animated short film Dear Basketball β will take place during this year's ceremony.
What a touching tribute.
