In Photos: Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony and Serge Ibaka headline NBA stars during Vogue World show at Paris Fashion Week
Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony and Serge Ibaka were spotted rubbing elbows with A-listers in Paris on Sunday for the Vogue World show. The former OKC Thunder stars are among the best-dressed athletes, with Westbrook even owning a fashion brand he once brought to the City of Light for a show.
The LA Clippers guard wore an all-brown outfit with a matching cap. Ibaka also had a monochromatic theme with his all-black style. Ibaka didn’t have a cap on but his wide-shouldered suit made him even more imposing than his 6-foot-11 frame suggested.
Meanwhile, Anthony brought the contrast with a multi-colored approach that included a cap. He had a casual, laidback style that contrasted what Westbrook and Ibaka had on.
Westbrook shared photos of himself, Anthony and Ibaka showcasing their respective styles on Instagram.
Russell Westbrook, Serge Ibaka and Carmelo Anthony are big-time fashion lovers
Out of the trio, Serge Ibaka is the only one who doesn’t have an apparel brand. However, the former Toronto Raptors forward has collaborated with Canada-based companies Nobis and Empire Customs. Ibaka’s pregame outfits were among the most highly anticipated in Raptors history.
In 2022, Carmelo Anthony launched “STAYME7OTM,” which started with hoodies, sweatpants, t-shirts and blankets. The brand’s varsity jackets have also gained traction as value-for-money investments for sports fans. Anthony’s casual style is the foundation of his company, a theme that abounds in the designs of his products.
Russell Westbrook is perhaps the most accomplished entrepreneur among the three when it comes to apparel. “Honor The Gift,” based in Los Angeles, California, focuses on heritage and legacy. The ideas that the former LA Lakers superstar has gotten from attending Paris fashion shows have been put to good use in his brand’s designs.
Last year, Westbrook rented a showroom in Paris to show his brand’s designs and styles to people who wanted to see what he represents.
