  • Caroline Ellison's first recent public appearance was Sam Bankman-Fried's criminal trial this week.

  • Ellison wore baseball caps and sunglasses as part of her outfits outside the courthouse.

  • She testified against her ex-boyfriend and former boss on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Caroline Ellison attended Sam Bankman-Fried's trial on Tuesday in New York — her first public appearance since her high-profile ex-boyfriend fell from grace.

Ellison, the former CEO of Bankman-Fried's company Alameda Research, testified against him in his criminal trial on Tuesday. Prior to the appearance, Ellison had all but disappeared from the public eye amid scrutiny and her own legal woes.

She attended the trial again on Wednesday after taking the witness stand the day prior to share details about her relationship with Bankman-Fried and his business dealings.

"The whole time we were dating, he was also my boss, so that created some awkward situations," Ellison said on Tuesday.

On her way into the courtroom, Ellison sported sunglasses and an unbranded blue hat.

Ellison maintained a professional and personal relationship with Bankman-Fried for years — from her time at Stanford University up until she left her job to work for him at Alameda Research.

When she arrived at the Manhattan federal courthouse on Tuesday, Ellison appeared to barely recognize Bankman-Fried without his signature shaggy curls.

Ellison wore a mauve dress paired with dark stockings to court on Tuesday.

When she testified against Bankman-Fried on Tuesday, Ellison revealed that the relationship was somewhat one-sided.

"In our personal relationship, there was a feeling that I wanted more in our relationship," Ellison testified. "But I felt like he was distant or not paying enough attention to me."

She kept her hat and glasses on while entering the building, but her accessories like sunglasses were gone when she exited.

Ellison testified that the pair began a romantic relationship in the fall of 2019.
