Shrewsbury donned a shiny black bandeau with Clark’s number 22 and “INDIANA” written on both the top and shorts, paired with knee-high white heels and a black cape with a basketball net attached. To top it all off, he was carrying a black and gold glitter basketball, similar to Clark’s Iowa Hawkeyes color scheme.
“Represent Ms. Clark and the Hoosier State with pride!!” Shrewsbury wrote on Instagram showing off the outfit.
Before the state costume parade, Shrewsbury posted a photo of herself wearing a T-shirt that said, “Everyone watches women’s sports.”

“In 49 states it’s just basketball, but this is #INDIANA,” Shrewsbury captioned his photo.
“Indiana is proud to boast several basketball legends, including Caitlin Clark, Larry Bird, Reggie Miller and Tyrese Halliburton. From the free throw line to the Miss America stage, Indiana not only plays the game, she defines it,” Shrewsbury said in a statement to Pak Gazette Digital.
