My nephew asked me last week why every athlete and pop star suddenly looks like they raided a vintage sports store, and honestly, he had a point. Celebrity track jackets have taken over 2026 completely, showing up on football pitches, tennis courts, awards stages, and Olympic podiums all at once. Here are 16 that actually made people stop scrolling.

Justin Glaze Track Jacket
Justin Glaze’s track jacket from the FIFA World Cup 2026 kickoff ceremonies fits the tournament’s massive scale, giving the moment a piece of clothing that feels built for a global stage rather than a locker room.
Clean panel construction, national color blocking, a fit built for movement on match day.
World Cup kickoff ceremonies tend to lean heavily on spectacle, and having a track jacket that photographs well from a stadium camera angle matters more than people realize. This one does that job cleanly, without overcomplicating the design.
Kaley Cuoco Track Jacket
Kaley Cuoco’s character in the thriller Vanished wears a track jacket that gives her a grounded, athletic edge fitting a story built around urgency and constant movement.
Simple color-blocked panels, zip front, a relaxed fit that reads as practical rather than styled.
Thrillers benefit from wardrobe choices that don’t slow a character down visually, and a track jacket does exactly that. It signals someone ready to move at any moment, which fits Vanished’s whole premise.
Billie Eilish Purple Track Jacket
Billie Eilish showed up during Justin Bieber’s headline set at Coachella 2026, and the purple track jacket she wore instantly became one of the most talked-about looks of the entire festival weekend.
Oversized fit, bold purple base, elastic cuffs, a silhouette that leans hard into her signature baggy aesthetic.
Festival fashion rewards pieces that photograph loud from a distance, and purple does exactly that under stage lighting. It’s a color she rarely reaches for, which is probably part of why it stood out as much as it did.
Tanya Reynolds Track Jacket
Tanya Reynolds joining Ted Lasso for its fourth season comes with a track jacket that fits the show’s whole football-club universe perfectly, tying her character visually into the AFC Richmond world from her very first scene.
Team-inspired colorway, ribbed collar, a straightforward zip closure.
Ted Lasso has always used wardrobe to signal who belongs to the club and who’s still an outsider, and giving a new character a piece like this early on is a quiet way of folding her into that world before the writing even catches up.
Lewis Hamilton Track Jacket
Lewis Hamilton arrived at Interlagos ahead of the Brazilian Grand Prix in a quilted bomber-style track jacket, paired with wide-leg sand-toned cargo trousers, Ferrari sunglasses, and his signature pearl necklace.
Square quilting, two-way zip, elasticated hem and cuffs that hold the oversized volume he’s known for in the paddock.
Hamilton’s Ferrari-era paddock style has leaned into exactly this kind of proportion play, loose and voluminous but still tailored enough to photograph as intentional. It’s become something people watch almost as closely as the actual race weekend.
Timothee Chalamet Track Jacket
Timothée Chalamet’s track jacket tied to an Argentina appearance leans into the same low-key, slightly retro sportswear energy he’s brought to a lot of his recent press styling.
Muted color palette, ribbed trim, a relaxed cut that layers easily over a simple tee.
Chalamet’s stylists have clearly figured out that a well-cut track jacket reads as effortless in a way a full suit never quite manages, and this piece fits right into that ongoing strategy.
Snoop Dogg Track Jacket
Snoop Dogg’s presence at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics has become its own recurring story, and the track jacket he wore there carries the same laid-back confidence he’s known for at every major sporting event he shows up to.
Bold graphic detailing, oversized fit, a silhouette built for comfort over structure.
Snoop has a way of making Olympic broadcast coverage feel warmer and more human, and his wardrobe choices are part of that. A track jacket over anything more formal keeps the whole appearance feeling like he’s just there to have a good time.
Naomi Osaka Ruffle Track Jacket
Naomi Osaka debuted a jellyfish-inspired Nike and Robert Wun collaboration at the 2026 Australian Open, wearing a turquoise and mint tie-dye track jacket with cascading ruffled sleeves for her second-round match.
Turquoise and green tie-dye print, ruffled sleeve detailing, zip-up construction matching the rest of her custom kit.
Osaka told reporters the whole concept came from reading a jellyfish storybook with her young daughter, and the ruffles were built to mimic tentacle movement during play. It’s rare that a track jacket carries that much personal story behind the design.
Carlos Alcaraz Green Track Jacket
Carlos Alcaraz’s bold green kit at the 2026 Australian Open became one of the most discussed looks of the tournament, dividing opinion online while he quietly kept winning matches in it.
Vivid green base, clean athletic lines, minimal branding beyond the sponsor logo.
Tennis kits rarely generate this much conversation, but a color this saturated tends to do exactly that. Whatever people thought of the shade, it’s hard to argue with results, and Alcaraz wore it through some of his best matches of the tournament.
Lukita Maxwell Track Jacket
Lukita Maxwell’s character in Shrinking’s third season gets a track jacket that fits her arc as a college student figuring out who she is outside her father’s shadow.
Simple two-tone color blocking, ribbed cuffs, an easy fit that works layered over a hoodie.
Costume choices for younger characters on this show have consistently favored comfort over polish, and this piece continues that. It reads as genuinely lived-in rather than styled for a specific scene.
Tom Holland Black Track Jacket
Tom Holland’s off-duty look tied to Spider-Man: Brand New Day press appearances includes a black track jacket that gives him a low-key, streetwear-adjacent silhouette between more formal premiere looks.
Matte black finish, contrast stripe detailing along the sleeves, a slim, athletic cut.
Press tours for massive franchise films tend to alternate between full red carpet looks and much more relaxed pieces like this one, and the contrast helps keep the whole rollout visually interesting across weeks of appearances.
Jason Momoa Track Jacket
Jason Momoa showing up in Manchester United gear gave his usual laid-back, oversized style a sporting edge that fans immediately connected with, since he’s been vocal about his football fandom before.
Classic red and black club colors, ribbed collar, a roomy fit that suits his larger frame.
Celebrities wearing football club merchandise authentically, rather than as a styled prop, tends to land better with fans, and Momoa’s genuine enthusiasm for the sport comes through clearly in how naturally he wears it.
Chyler Leigh Track Jacket
Chyler Leigh’s track jacket spotted around New York City in 2026 leans into an easy, off-duty look that fits how she’s approached street style appearances for years.
Simple solid color, minimal branding, a relaxed straight fit.
Sometimes the most effective celebrity style moments are the quietest ones. A well-fitted track jacket with nothing trying too hard to prove itself photographs just as well as a more elaborate outfit would, and it reads as more genuinely her.
Agnes Red & Pink Track Jacket
Agnes’s red and pink track jacket in The Burbs gives the character a bold, candy-colored visual identity that stands out immediately against the show’s more muted suburban palette.
Two-tone color blocking in red and pink, ribbed trim, a straightforward zip front.
Comedy shows benefit from characters who are visually distinct from a glance, and this color combination does exactly that. It’s playful without tipping into costume territory, which keeps Agnes feeling like a real person rather than a punchline.
Marissa Reyes Leopard Print Track Jacket
Marissa Reyes gets a leopard print track jacket in Running Point’s second season that instantly sets her apart from the rest of the team’s more conventional wardrobe choices.
All-over leopard print, ribbed cuffs and collar, an oversized fit that leans into the pattern rather than fighting it.
Print-heavy pieces are a risk in ensemble shows because they can pull focus in group scenes, but this jacket uses that to the character’s advantage. Marissa’s whole persona benefits from an outfit that announces itself before she says a word.
Kate Hudson Track Jacket
Kate Hudson‘s track jacket in the same season keeps her character’s wardrobe grounded in the sports-management world the show is built around, giving her a look that feels authentic to the front office rather than the court.
Clean solid color, structured collar, minimal detailing beyond a small logo.
There’s a deliberate contrast built into the show’s costume design between Hudson’s more polished, executive energy and the flashier pieces worn by other characters, and this track jacket keeps her firmly on the buttoned-up side of that line.
Why Celebrity Track Jackets Are Everywhere in 2026
Looking at these 16 together, the track jacket has clearly outgrown its gym bag origins. It works on a Grand Prix paddock, a Grand Slam tennis court, an Olympic broadcast, and a network sitcom set, all in the same calendar year. Athletes wear it because it performs. Actors and musicians wear it because it photographs as effortless without actually being lazy. That combination is rare enough that it’s easy to see why celebrity track jackets keep showing up everywhere this year, and why they’ll probably keep doing it well past 2026.
