Yvette Prieto's Look Drastically Changed Since Her Marriage To Michael Jordan

Yvette Prieto lives quite lavishly as the wife of Michael Jordan, which has also led to a change in her fashion sensibilities. Before becoming the wife of His Airness, Prieto was a successful model who had a serious relationship with Julio Iglesias Jr. in the early 2000s. She was dating Jordan by the end of that decade, celebrating her birthday with the former Chicago Bulls player and friends in March 2009. Even though it was her birthday, Prieto kept her look simple with a black tank top that hung loosely over her dark blue jeans, which were rolled at the bottom to reveal black heels.

Later that year, Prieto attended Art Basel in Miami with Jordan in December 2009, where she rocked a loose-fitting leopard-print dress. The former model accessorized with a black bag and black heels and wore her hair up. Animal prints seemed to be a favorite for Prieto in that era. In March 2011, she sported a cheetah-print top and matching full-length skirt to the Michael Jordan Celebrity Invitational golf tournament in Las Vegas with her beau.

After dating for several years, Jordan proposed to Prieto with an engagement ring that cost a fortune. The eye-catching ring was an expensive accessory for Prieto, reportedly costing the six-time NBA champion somewhere in the seven-figure range when he popped the question in December 2011. The couple were married in April 2013, and Prieto's look started to change afterwards.

After marrying Michael Jordan and giving birth to their twin girls in February 2014, Yvette Prieto's style underwent a stunning transformation. She ditched the animal prints and opted for looks with more subdued color schemes. When Prieto attended the Derek Jeter Celebrity Invitational golf tournament with her husband in March 2015, she wore a black jumpsuit that was loose-fitting but still hugged her waistline. The piece was sleeveless like many of her outfits, and also had gold trim around the neckline. Completing the look with black heels, Prieto's fit was extremely classy, and a marked contrast to her somewhat flashier outfits of the previous decade.

A couple of years later, Prieto was in New Orleans with Jordan for NBA All-Star Weekend in February 2017, where she attended an afterparty thrown by the Jordan Brand. The mother of two sported a sleeveless, tight-fitting brown dress with a turtleneck. She completed the form-fitting ensemble with a pair of knee-high black boots. Again, it was very classy, but with some added sexuality, foreshadowing how her style would continue to evolve.

Prieto continued to show off her style evolution later that year when she was photographed on a date with her hubby in New York City in September 2017. She rocked a tight black dress that accentuated her curves. Continuing her turn toward monochromatic outfits, Prieto accessorized with a black handbag and matching black pumps. In the following years, Prieto continued to show off her sleek style, although in slightly more revealing ways.

Yvette Prieto accompanied Michael Jordan to the Cincoro Tequila launch party in New York in September 2019. She rocked a stunning shimmery black dress that was draped over her body and left the middle of her chest exposed, something that would become a trend of sorts for the former model. Prieto looked effortlessly glamorous as she accessorized with a gold bracelet (with gold becoming a recurring theme in her wardrobe), and wore black sandal heels.

Prieto incorporated that style in more casual ways, as well. While on vacation with Jordan and the family in Croatia in August 2021, photographers for The Daily Mail captured Prieto in a black button-up top that she left mostly unbuttoned to expose her bra. Prieto wore matching loose-fitting shorts along with gold chains, a multi-colored headband, and white sneakers for the vacation fit, creating a sexy but classy summer vibe in monochrome.

The following year, Prieto turned heads in May 2022 while attending the Formula One Grand Prix in Miami. She continued the trend of putting her curves on display, wearing a tight-fitting white tank top that she tucked into her matching white pants, and sported square-toed heels below them. To make the outfit pop, Prieto completed the look with a large gold chain and sunglasses, flaunting that NBA wealth in style.

While it would be unfair to say that Yvette Prieto has only worn skimpier, more revealing outfits as the years have progressed, it's certainly true that she's enjoyed this look on her European vacations and that she's traveled quite a bit. Prieto and Michael Jordan have spent a lot of time on his $115 million yacht (which costs $10 million a year just to run and maintain), predominantly vacationing in Europe. While there, Prieto has flaunted her supermodel looks in beautiful bikinis that have continued her monochromatic style. In 2023, they spent some time on the coast of Villefranche-sur-Mer in France, where she was spotted wearing a bright yellow two-piece.

The following year, the couple vacationed in Ibiza, enjoying more fun in the sun and on the water. Pietro was pictured in some photographs wearing a thin black bikini underneath a sensual beige knitted cover-up, again classing up what would otherwise be a simply sexy fit.

Jordan and Prieto flaunted their wealth on an extended vacation in 2025, where she continued to wear skimpy but usually classy and simple beach clothes. In June, the couple cruised through Italy, stopping in Cardona and Sardinia, where they spent some time at Nikki Beach Costa Smeralda. There, Prieto wore another black bikini, sometimes adorning it with a beautiful white outfit, an open-weave sheer set, keeping her flowing shirt mostly unbuttoned. Prieto wore a different black bikini when the couple reached Mykonos, Greece, the next month. Flaunt it if you've got it, as they say, which pertains to skin as much as wealth.
