Shrewsbury wore a glittery black headband with Clark’s number 22 and “INDIANA” written on her top and shorts, paired with white knee-length heels and a black cape with an attached basketball net. To top it off, she wore a black and gold glitter basketball, similar to the color scheme of Clark’s Iowa Hawkeyes.
“Reppin Mrs. Clark and the Hoosier State with pride!!” Shrewsbury wrote on Instagram showing off the outfit.
Before the state costume show, Shrewsbury posted a photo of herself in a shirt that read, “Everyone watches women’s sports.”

“In 49 states it’s just basketball, but here it’s #INDIANA,” Shrewsbury captioned his photo.
“Indiana proudly boasts several basketball legends, including Caitlin Clark, Larry Bird, Reggie Miller and Tyrese Halliburton. From the free throw line to the Miss USA stage, Indiana doesn’t just play the game, it defines it,” Shrewsbury said in a statement to PK Press Club Digital.
