LeBron and Savannah James are in their unbothered era. With LeBron’s future with the Lakers still a hot topic of debate, the NBA’s royal couple has been living it up on the French Riviera, soaking in the Mediterranean sun and partying with A-listers in Cannes. In a series of viral videos, the two were seen wining, dining, and dancing to Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss track, “Not Like Us,” looking every bit the power couple.

But it was one of Savannah’s outfits that truly stole the show and had the internet buzzing.

During a night out with LeBron, she was spotted in a stunning and incredibly bold ‘Jean Paul Gaultier’ Long Draped Wood Dress that turned heads and sent social media into a frenzy. This isn’t just any black dress; it features a unique “Wood” print on a sheer black tulle fabric, creating a striking illusion effect. It’s a tight-fitting, mock turtleneck design with long sleeves, made from stretchy polyamide, giving it that sleek, body-hugging silhouette.

At a price of $960, it’s a testament to bold, high-fashion design. It was a powerful fashion statement from a woman who has always exuded grace and confidence.

But in the age of social media, no public moment is safe from old drama. LeBron’s choice to publicly side with Kendrick in the rap beef was more than just a song choice; it was the latest and perhaps final shot in a cold war that has been brewing for months with his former friend, Drake.

After years of a close friendship, things soured when LeBron was spotted vibing in the crowd at Kendrick Lamar’s “The Pop Out” concert. Drake seemingly took it as a betrayal, later rapping in his track “What Did I Miss?”, “I saw bro at the Pop Out with them but been d— gang since ‘Headlines’,” a line widely believed to be a direct shot at LeBron. The feud has only escalated since, with Drake changing the lyrics to his song “Nonstop” to remove a LeBron reference and even covering up his LeBron tattoo.

So, for LeBron, vibing to “Not Like Us” in France was a clear statement, and it caused some corners of the internet to dredge up years-old, unfounded infidelity rumors involving him and social media personality YesJulz, who was once associated with Drake. The rehashed drama quickly caught the attention of YesJulz herself, whose real name is Julieanna Goddard. The rumors have followed her for nearly a decade, ever since she worked with the Miami Heat through LeBron’s business partner, Maverick Carter. She has vehemently denied any romantic involvement with LeBron for years, once calling the speculation a “stain” on her name and clarifying that while she dated someone close to LeBron, it was never the man himself. As the old rumors resurfaced yet again, she took to X (formerly Twitter) with a simple, tired plea: “Leave me out of it.”

As the old drama resurfaced, fans immediately jumped to the defense of Savannah, shutting down the speculation and showing their unwavering support for the woman they see as the queen. One fan’s comment perfectly captured the sentiment of the entire fanbase: “Mfs picking “yesjulz” over queen Savannah.” It was a clear message that while the internet may be messy, the fans’ loyalty lies with Savannah.

But as the tired drama fizzled out, the conversation turned to what really mattered: Savannah’s incredible, unbothered style.

This is the kind of moment that has cemented Savannah’s status as a style icon. She’s no stranger to making a statement when the pressure is on. Whether it’s a chic, army-green jumpsuit or a head-to-toe denim look from Alaïa, her courtside appearances have become a masterclass in “quiet luxury” and effortless confidence.

Other fans saw the bigger picture, viewing the couple’s vacation as a much-needed escape from the relentless NBA news cycle. “Looks like LeBron and Savannah are living their best life in France! one fan wrote. It’s a fair point. With a storm of speculation brewing back home, their trip to Cannes felt like a powerful declaration that their focus is on family and life beyond basketball.

Another fan summed up Savannah’s presence with a simple, fitting comment: “So much aura man 🥹.” It’s that “aura” that has come to define her public image. She has become a style icon in her own right, making a memorable Met Gala debut in a stunning burgundy pinstripe dress, holding her own on fashion’s biggest stage while LeBron—a co-chair for the event—sat out with an injury. As he proudly posted at the time, “My beautiful, powerful Queen will be holding the castle down.”
