Paige Spiranac walked the green carpet at the premiere of Happy Gilmore 2, held ahead of the film’s release on July 25, 2025. The social media star wore a magenta dress for the red carpet event and shared a photo from the night on Instagram, writing:

“Loved walking the green carpet for the premiere!”

After the premiere, she took to X to reflect on the experience, posting a behind-the-scenes photo from the set with the caption:

“Coolest experience ever! Happy Gilmore 2 is out on Netflix!”

Following her appearance, Paige Spiranac revealed the backlash she faces online. She shared that her message has always been about doing what makes her feel confident, including wearing what she wants. For her, that includes outfits that are "a little bit more sexy” and “more form-fitting,” as she believes in developing her style.

Spiranac recalled that the backlash began when she moved away from traditional golf clothing. She started wearing tank tops and leggings because standard golf outfits didn’t feel comfortable to her. That change led to strong reactions, with people criticizing her for not wearing a collar, for how she dressed, and for allegedly disrespecting the game.

Despite the negative comments, Spiranac has built a huge online following. Her YouTube channel, which features golf tutorials and friendly challenge videos, now has more than 450,000 subscribers.
