She brought red carpet elegance to the stands with carefully primped hair, painted face and sassy little black dress.

But despite her best efforts, she wasn't her husband's lucky charm.

The French native led the Spurs with 23 points, but missed a crucial shot in the final minutes, and his team went on to lose 100-92.

Almost 19,000 NBA fans decended on the Staples Centre in Los Angeles, including a host Hollywood's A-list stars.

There was a Shrek reunion of sorts, with producer Jeffrey Katzenberg sitting courtside with Cameron Diaz and Puss in Boots Antonio Banderas.

The trio were in high spirits during the game, further fuelling speculation a fourth installment of the hugely popular animated series is in the works.

Denzel Washington, comedian Adam Sandler and singer Lionel Richie were also among the crowd.
