Fashion has no limits when you’re Russell Westbrook. The eight-time NBA All-Star is among basketball’s best-dressed men, and he regularly brings runway panache to the world of sport. Others rest up during the off-season, but Westbrook uses the time to indulge in his other passion: style. An MVP of the Paris Menswear shows, Westbrook is a regular presence on the front row, and his frequent outfit changes delight onlookers and street style photographers alike.
On hand for Virgil Abloh’s pastel-tinted Spring 2020 Louis Vuitton collection, Westbrook took Vogue along for his fashion pregame. In the calm before the runway show, he kept things chill, indulging in a midday snack, ironing his own ensemble, and even sharing his style philosophy. “‘Why not’ is my motto,” he said en route to Place Dauphine venue, sharing a glimpse at a necklace featuring the saying. “It’s the way I live, the way I do things, the way I think.” The nonchalant attitude carries over into his ever-evolving wardrobe. “There may be a week when I want to dress like I’m back in the ’90s, or I may want to wear a suit, or two days when I want to wear all vintage clothing,” he said. “For me, it changes, and that’s the best part of fashion; you can do what you want—why not.”
