The stars are out for the world’s biggest sporting spectacle.

While it’s not celebrity row of Madison Square Garden, some New York sports stars made a appearance for the U.S. men’s first World Cup match of the summer against Paraguay in Los Angeles on Friday night.

Jaxson Dart was quickly spotted on the ground of SoFi Stadium alongside girlfriend Marissa Ayers.

He sported denim shorts with a white tank and oversized tan jacket, and a pair of sunglasses. Ayers had a coordinating oversized denim jacket over top of a red gingham dress paired with white kitten heels — seemingly on them for the red, white and blue.

Dart, who is heading into his sophomore season with the Giants, was also seen with teammate Jameis Winston during the pregame action.

The two were found eating “W” blue cookies on the blue carpet for a media bit.

Winston then went on to take a picture of the couple, all making a “W” with their fingers.

Other notables that strutted the game’s pregame festivities and were caught on camera include Paris Hilton, Tom Cruise, David Beckham, and Katy Perry with her boyfriend Justin Trudeau.

Perry had a pregame performance where she shined in a silver gown as she sang “Wonder” with 10-year-old Norwegian singer Tius Luka before the World Cup opening match in L.A.

Other faces that popped up include Owen Wilson, Rob Lowe, Halley Barry, Jamie Foxx and even Elmo and the Cookie Monster.

SoFi Stadium was packed on Friday night and the crowd watched as the U.S. took a dominant 3-0 lead into the half en route to a 4-1 victory good for three points in Group D play.
