Fresh from causing chaos on the big screen, Aubrey Plaza traded the red carpet for the hardwood in a surprise appearance that sent the sports world into a spin. The acclaimed actress, alongside her filmmaker husband Jeff Baena, was the unexpected star of the show at a recent WNBA clash.
The couple, known for their fiercely private nature, were pictured deep in conversation and fully engrossed in the high-stakes game between the Indiana Fever and the Washington Mystics. Their courtside seats offered a prime view of the action, a privilege that clearly wasn't lost on the pair.
Plaza's outing comes hot on the heels of her scene-stealing performance as the villainous Tess in the latest DC Comics film, Suicide Squad ISEKAI. It seems a WNBA game provided the perfect, low-key antidote to the glitz of a Hollywood premiere.
A Courtside Affair
Ditching any dramatic flair, Plaza opted for a relaxed, all-black ensemble, blending seamlessly with the arena crowd yet unmistakably chic. Baena complemented her style in a simple grey t-shirt, the picture of casual support.
Their appearance wasn't just a casual date night; it was a masterclass in understated celebrity. Photos and videos of the pair quickly ignited social media, with fans delighted by this rare glimpse into their off-screen life.

The game itself provided a fittingly dramatic backdrop for the celebrity spectators. In a tense and physical contest, the Indiana Fever, led by superstar Caitlin Clark, narrowly defeated the Washington Mystics with a final score of 85-83.
The match was a rollercoaster of lead changes and clutch plays, ensuring Plaza and Baena got their money's worth in sporting entertainment. The electric atmosphere of a close WNBA game clearly captivated the usually deadpan actress.
This public sighting is a testament to the WNBA's growing cultural cachet, attracting A-list audiences to witness the league's incredible talent and competitive spirit firsthand.
