Customers shopping at a boutique in Staten Island, New York received a generous surprise when NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal stopped at the store for a bathroom break.
On Thursday (July 3), Staten Island's O'Couture boutique shared a video on Instagram of Shaq interacting with customers as they were browsing the store and trying on dresses.
Video shows Shaq helping one young woman zip the back of a black ball gown. The NBA superstar appeared in the store filled with formal dresses for pageants, proms, and other special events in flannel pajama pants and a navy blue T-shirt.
“LOOK WHO’S IN THE HOUSE TODAY. @shaq the ONE & ONLY stopped into @o_coutureboutique_ today,” the company wrote alongside the video. “We don’t lie when we say this is the best place to be in NYC. With Shaq in the building everyone gets a dress!! @shaq Thank you for coming in and truly making the employees and customers day! Always a fun day here a O’Couture.”
Complex confirmed that Shaq bought dresses for every boutique customer, which included a bridal party and a young girl who was shopping for her quinceañera dress. According to the outlet, Shaq was in town filming for the TV show Gravesend and had stopped at the boutique looking for a restroom.
