Lakers point guard Russell Westbrook can’t catch a break, on or off the court, after a disastrous debut season with Los Angeles.
Westbrook wore a kilt and a top hat to the 2022 Met Gala on Monday, and NBA Twitter doubled as the fashion police to declare the former MVP as one of the worst-dressed stars on the red carpet.
“Bro look like he in ‘Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,'” one fan tweeted with a crying emoji.
Another fan demanded the Lakers trade Westbrook over his fashion statement.
But not all the reviews were bad. Some critics enjoyed Westbrook’s look, with one fan calling it one of “the best fits” at the Met Gala. Other fans applauded the All-Star point guard for expressing himself through fashion.
Westbrook, who’s known for his love for fashion, wore a Thom Browne pleated skirt. According to the designer, he paired it with “an elongated ankle length tailcoat in black silk moiré with tipping, white tie vest in white silk moiré, and a classic wing collar shirt.”
