It wasn't a surprise. Fans that enjoy Russ's unique style and fashion taste thoroughly enjoyed his take on a MET Gala outfit. Those that take pleasure in ribbing the Lakers guard used it as ammunition.

Say what you want about Westbrook, but he's still a player that exudes complete confidence in himself, and especially confidence in what he wears.
