26 Reasons Russell Westbrook Is the Fashion King of the NBA (and Maybe the World)

The hat. The ripped jeans. Those boots. I am HERE for it. Outside Prabal Gurung during New York Fashion Week in 2016.

The leather tank. The leather pants. The gold shoes. It's perfection. It's Givenchy.

At Rag & Bone's Women's Collection show during Spring 2014 New York Fashion Week.

Westbrook takes a look that could be basic to the next level. At the Nolcha NYFW Spring Collection in 2014.

He doesn't need an outrageous look to stand out. Westbrook wore the hell out of this Tom Ford tux at the 2018 CFDA Fashion Awards.

So, he was definitely trying to stand out. And somehow he made this work at Paris Fashion Week. I think it's the socks and the Chucks that really seal the deal here.

Who else can pull off wearing pink sweatpants to The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon? And it's easy to miss, so I'll go ahead and draw attention to the sweatshirt that is tied. around. his. waist.

Time and time again, Westbrook proves he can pull off anything. Here, it was denim on denim at Jeremy Scott's show during New York Fashion Week.

The cuffed jeans. I can't take it, this look is perfection. At the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2016 show at Paris Fashion Week.

Westbrook knew he looked good in this epic jumpsuit x bandana x backward cap combo. Outside Sacai during Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2018.

He pulled together this look perfectly without going overboard. At the Givenchy Menswear Spring/Summer 2016 show at Paris Fashion Week.

Oh, did you not know that Westbrook's wife, Nina, is stylish in her own right? NBA power couple right here with their monochrome looks (and her pop of color).

This look could easily be too much, but by keeping the colors neutral, Westbrook once again pulled it off. At the 2013 Teen Choice Awards.

This is a lewk. Just when you think the acid-wash denim on denim was something, he hit you with the bright orange sneakers.

So, did Westbrook make flip-up sunglasses cool? And paired with cropped leather pants? At Tim Coppens during Spring 2014 New York Fashion Week.

This oversize green tunic paired with skinny jeans was tamer but definitely not basic. At the Salvatore Ferragamo show during Milan Men's Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2016.

It's hard to not get distracted by that unbuttoned shirt, but Westbrook really tied together this outfit with standout shades and crisp white sneakers. At the Louis Vuitton Menswear Spring/Summer 2018 show at Paris Fashion Week.

The red shoes were genius — they didn't let the pants totally steal the show, and they really tied together the outfit. At the Dior Homme Menswear Spring/Summer 2016 show at Paris Fashion Week.

I love that Westbrook added a pop of color to this otherwise preppy look. At the Lacoste Spring 2013 show at New York Fashion Week.

Westbrook's Tom Ford suit was anything but basic. The tapered pants, blue jacket, and thin-rimmed glasses made him stand out.

Black and white leather jacket? Check. Leather pants? Check. Biker boots? Check. And topping it off with that beanie? YES. Attending the Balmain Menswear Spring/Summer 2016 show at Paris Fashion Week.

Westbrook got in on the pajama trend at the Dior Homme Meanswear Spring/Summer 2018 show at Paris Fashion Week.

He's mastered it. Here's yet another denim-on-denim look styled with velvet jewel-toned sneakers and green-lens glasses. It's almost too much . . . almost.
