For the first time in 53 years the New York Knicks are champions — and New York City is celebrating, especially the team's A-list stars.

After being by the Knicks' side through their improbable playoff run, celebrities like Timothée Chalamet, Martha Stewart, Edie Falco and more are walking the streets of lower Manhattan for the NBA champions' ticker-tape parade on Thursday, June 18.

The parade began in Battery Park City where Knicks stars like Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart loaded up on buses to drive up Broadway as fans cheer them on, before ending at City Hall, where Brunson, Mayor Zohran Mamdani and others will give speeches.

Hargitay and her son Hermann, 18, brought out the Taylor Swift-inspired shirts for the Knicks parade. Hargitay made hers a reference to her Broadway show, Every Brilliant Thing, and her favorite player Brunson's jersey number, with the words, "Brilliant Thing #11 The Knicks." Hermann, meanwhile, made his an adorable nod to his mom, reading: "Mariknickska Hargitay."

Knicks superfan Stiller went to every Finals game, so he of course had to take part in the parade. A day earlier, the Severence creator announced that he's working with A24 and HBO on a documentary about the Knicks' championship run.
