When you're married to an NBA legend, a certain je ne sais quoi is expected of your style game. And Yvette Prieto is setting the bar.
While Michael Jordan puffed on his signature cigar, Prieto effortlessly stole the spotlight this week at Nikki Beach Porto Cervo, giving us all a serious lesson in laid-back Mediterranean glam.

Breezy, Polished, Unbothered
Yvette rocked a sheer, open-weave set, an oversized button-down shirt paired with flowy, wide-leg pants. The crisp white hue was perfect for reflecting that Sardinian sunshine. The subtle peek of a black bikini underneath kept the vibe playfully beachy without tipping into too-revealing territory.

Hair slicked back into a neat low bun was giving a minimalist European summer, and we're here for it.
Why Her Look Works (and How to Steal It)
Yvette's ensemble hits that sweet spot of what summer fashion should be: easy, breathable, chic without trying too hard. The open-weave set allows for airflow (a must in the Mediterranean heat) while still looking polished. The neutral palette lets accessories pop, while the overall silhouette feels comfortable enough for a yacht, a beach bar, or a sun-drenched stroll.

And use minimal jewelry to let the outfit breathe.
Family Vacation
The basketball legend landed in Sardinia in true GOAT style, traveling by private jet with his wife, Yvette Prieto, and their twin daughters. Victoria and Ysabel, in tow. MJ and fam stepped off their sleek private plane like a walking luxury brand campaign.
The 61-year-old NBA legend led the way, in a jumper from his very own Jordan Brand line. The retired athlete and his family travel in an impressive custom-built $70 million jet. According to Forbes, his net worth as of 2024 is estimated at $3.5 billion, making him the first athlete to reach this elite group of America's wealthiest individuals.
