Jordyn Woodsis superstitious when it comes to her style.

The fiancée of New York Knicks starKarl-Anthony Townsopened up about her game-day routine as her partner's team continues its epic run to the NBA Championship Finals and revealed the strategic reason she doesn't drastically switch up her looks.

"Once playoffs start, everything becomes part of the ritual if we keep winning,” Woods, 28, toldVogueafter Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals, where Towns, 30, and the Knicks won 109–93 over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Understandably, Woods — who announced herengagement to Towns at Christmaslast year — doesn't foresee herself swapping out her "lucky" accessories anytime soon because they have consistently led to consecutive victories for the Knicks.

"We're nine wins in, and now I have my lucky Woods by Jordyn bag, my game-day GRWMs on TikTok, and a watch I refuse to take off. At this point, I'm not risking changing anything," she said. "I created a sample of the Tux Clutch Mini specifically for the playoffs."

"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," she added of her orange ostrich clutch.

"It's gotten to the point where if people don't see me carrying it during a close game, they start blaming me for changing the routine. So let's just say the bag isn't leaving my side anytime soon," she revealed.

While her bag is a courtside staple, the rest of her outfits are pretty spontaneous. In fact, she tends to work best against the clock.

"My outfits are completely mood-based. Usually there's one piece I know I want to wear, and then I build the look around it," she told the outlet. "Most of the time I'm putting everything together an hour before I leave the house. Somehow the pressure always makes the look better."

Woods' game-day looks are fashion-forward, but they're also stylishly supportive of Towns. Whether it's incorporating the power forward's number into a garment or sporting his name on her sleeve, she's always repping custom clothing to games.

“My favorite pieces usually start as an idea in my head and come to life with the help of an incredible tailor who can execute the vision,” she shared. "I'll literally bring her a T-shirt or a pair of jeans and we'll start cutting, pinning, and rebuilding it from there."

She added, "I love the collaborative process of turning something simple into a one-of-one piece."

On Monday, May 25, the Knicks locked their spot in the 2026 NBA Finals after defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers 130–93. New York swept the Eastern Conference Finals 4-0, advancing to the championships for the first time since 1999.

Woods wore a classic Knicks bomber jacket, a white tank with Towns' No. 32 on it, denim jeans and orange sneakers. Shesmiled and posed with the basketball starafter the big win.

WASHINGTON, May 25 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that he asked Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt and Jordan to join the Abraham Accords en masse to normalize relations with Israel as he tries ‌to negotiate an agreement to end the war with Iran.

Pakistan rejected the proposal. None of the other countries has so far publicly ‌reacted to Trump's demand and a positive response was unlikely when the public mistrust of Israel in these Muslim nations remains high over the scale of its military offensive in Gaza.

Trump ​said he spoke on Saturday to leaders of those countries, as well as the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, which have already signed the accords, a set of agreements to normalize relations with Israel.

"I am mandatorily requesting that all Countries immediately sign the Abraham Accords, and that, if Iran signs its Agreement with me, as President of the United States of America, it would be an Honor to have them also be part of this unparalleled World Coalition," Trump ‌wrote in a post on Truth Social.

He cited "all the ⁠work done by the United States to try and pull this very complex puzzle together."

A Pakistani security source said Trump’s statement reflected an attempt to use Iran ceasefire diplomacy for a wider push around the Abraham Accords, but said ⁠the two issues were “not interlinked and cannot be made so."

"Pakistan is under no compulsion to adhere to any such demand,” the source said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office also did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Trump's post.

DEEPLY SENSITIVE ISSUE

Trump said one or two of the countries he spoke with may have ​a ​reason for not joining, but most should be "ready, willing, and able to make this ​Settlement with Iran a far more Historic Event than it ‌would, otherwise, be."

For Saudi Arabia — the birthplace of Islam and custodian of its two holiest sites, Mecca and Medina - recognizing Israel would be more than just a diplomatic milestone. It is a deeply sensitive national security issue tied to resolving one of the region’s oldest and most intractable conflicts.

The kingdom's longstanding position has been that it would not sign the accords unless there is an agreement on a roadmap to Palestinian statehood.

Egypt, Jordan and Turkey already have diplomatic relations with Israel, even as those ties have been strained since the start of the Gaza war.

Trump also said negotiations with Iran were "proceeding ‌nicely," but gave no indication a deal was imminent.

Longtime Trump ally Senator Lindsey Graham ​has embraced the idea of linking an Iran deal to expanding the Abraham Accords as "beyond ​transformative for the region and world."

Others see the strategy as something ​to make an Iran deal more palatable to skeptics.

"Trump is trying to sell an Iran deal as an Abraham ‌Accords sequel: good for Israel, good for the region, tough ​enough for Washington," said Ali Vaez, Iran ​project director at the International Crisis Group.

"But he is trading one fantasy for another — from forcing Iran to surrender to pretending a fragile deal can anchor a new Middle East order."

Trump has repeatedly said he wants to expand the accords that he brokered during his ​first term in the White House.

The United Arab Emirates ‌and Bahrain signed during Trump's first term in 2020, breaking a longstanding taboo to become the first Arab states to recognise ​Israel in a quarter century. Morocco and Sudan followed suit.
