Denver Nuggets picked up their biggest win and defeated Oklahoma City Thunder 121-119 in the first game of their second round series. Although Aaron Gordon took the credit for making the winning three-pointer with THREE SECONDS to go, Russell Westbrook contributed 18 points and the winning assist.
Despite shining on the court, the world of fashion interests him as much as the world of sports. Knowing he couldn’t be at the Met Gala because of the game, Westbrook arrived at the Paycom Center in an incredible, red-carpet-worthy outfit.
Wearing a black hat paired with an embroidered gray jacket – which would have belonged to André Leon Talley – and black pants with matching shoes, he stole the show. After the win, he was asked about his attire, “I told myself I wouldn’t go this year, but I’m going to bring the Mets home, you know.”
In addition to looking amazing, he’s got style. Her weekly fashion newsletter “Word of Westbrook” where she writes about topics relevant to her subscribers and her clothing brand founded in 2016, “Honor The Gift,” is a clear example of that.
With her vision, the Time100 2025 Gala and the Met Gala did not go unnoticed by Russell. He was quickly caught by Simone Biles‘ outfit at the Time event: “I love this dress. It’s very striking, yet simple at the same time. The open toe open sandal and the clutch go together perfectly. I love this look. Perfect,” she wrote.
The athlete wore an Oscar de la Renta in metallic tones in a floral print with some transparencies and matching open-toe sandals that undoubtedly captivated Westbrook.
The other sports figures who did not escape Russell’s good eye
Westbrook also referenced the recent outfits of other athletes.
WNBA star Breanna Stewart also attended the Time100 Gala and, like Biles, her look got the best reviews from Westbrook: “My favorite look of the week,” he wrote. He highlighted “the flared pants,” and his combination with the oversized coat, undershirt and red bralet “gave it the finishing touch.”
In addition, Russell praised the color choice of Cade Cunningham of the Detroit Pistons as he arrived dressed in shades of salmon at Madison Square Garden during the first round of the Playoffs against Knicks. “Salmon always goes well with spring. I don’t care about the rest of this outfit, but I LOVE a good salmon look,” he expressed.
Another look that caught Russell’s eye was the green Louis Vuitton suit worn by New England Patriots offensive lineman Will Campbell, who was selected fourth overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. “It’s casual but dressy and appropriate for the Draft. I love this look,” Westbrook determined and detailed the comfort of wearing it without a tie.
Undoubtedly, his keen eye for making baskets and shining on the court is also present in the fashion world.
