The New York Knicks star and his wife took their first Halloween as a married couple straight into Game of Thrones territory, stepping out in elaborate Night King and White Walker costumes on Saturday, October 24. Apparently, even the undead need dinner reservations, because the couple was photographed sitting outside a SoHo restaurant, dressed as if they had just marched south of the Wall.

According to the New York Post, Towns transformed into the Night King, the supernatural leader of the White Walkers from HBO's hit fantasy series, while Woods wore a matching White Walker-inspired ensemble. The two posed for photographs on the streets of Manhattan before settling into an outdoor table at what appeared to be Sartiano's on Prince Street.

The costumes departed from the couple's usual courtside fashion, but dressing for the occasion is hardly new territory for Woods.

The 29-year-old entrepreneur has spent much of 2026 building her fashion business, WOODS by Jordyn, while becoming a fixture at Madison Square Garden during the Knicks' championship run. Her orange Tux Clutch Mini handbag became an unlikely good-luck charm during the playoffs, with Woods refusing to abandon the accessory as New York continued winning.

"I created a sample of the Tux Clutch Mini specifically for the playoffs," Woods previously said. "I wore it for Game 1 during one of my TikTok GRWMs, and ever since then we've kept winning, so now it's officially become the lucky bag."

The superstition apparently worked out. The Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs in five games to capture their first NBA championship since 1973, and Woods' handbag subsequently earned a temporary exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum.

The couple followed that milestone with an August wedding in Malibu, California, attended by several Knicks players, including Josh Hart, Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby and Miles McBride. Other guests included Kylie Jenner, Timothée Chalamet, Justin Bieber, Hailey Bieber and Michael B. Jordan.

Their celebration even included a championship reference, with guests receiving custom hoodies reading "Married in 5" as they departed.

Towns recently received his championship ring during the Knicks' season opener against the Philadelphia 76ers at Madison Square Garden. Woods marked the occasion by debuting a limited-edition "Trophy Gold" version of her signature Tux Clutch Mini.

The celebration came amid ongoing contract negotiations between Towns and the Knicks. Earlier this month, the six-time All-Star acknowledged that extension talks weren't progressing as he had hoped.

"It don't look good," Towns told reporters when asked about reaching a new agreement before the season.

New York has also gotten off to a difficult start defending its championship, dropping its first three games against Philadelphia, Boston and Orlando.
