The Met Gala — an annual fundraising gala to benefit the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute — is taking place on Monday night in New York City. The event is frequently referred to as “fashion’s biggest night out,” with guests going all-out with their fashion and style choices.
Well, Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook is one of the celebrities in attendance, and he certainly went with a unique fashion choice.

It’s unclear if Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard was referring to Westbrook or a number of celebrities with this tweet:
If what mfs wearing to the MET Gala is considered having “style” … then I’m burnt out 🤷🏽♂️
