## Russell Westbrook

Hollywood, CA - NBA star Russell Westbrook was seen dining out at TAO restaurant with a mystery woman in Hollywood.

Russell here is the main cover star, and he did apparently wear this to the party, although he was captured here arriving or leaving. Obviously the sentiment on the shirt is worthy, but I'm unclear why it needed to be studded with holes. This entire thing is a bit Kanye-lazy, for a guy who went to all the couture shows and routinely pulls out the stops on other red carpets. At LEAST change into this for the afterparty?

## Lindsey Vonn

Hollywood, CA - Pro skier Lindsey Vonn and Karin Kildow were seen looking sexy and sophisticated as they dined out at TAO restaurant in Hollywood. Pictured: Lindsey Vonn BACKGRID USA 19 JULY 2017 USA: +1 310 798 9111 / usasales@backgrid.com UK: +44 208 344 2007 / uksales@backgrid.com \*UK Clients - Pictures Containing Children Please Pixelate Face Prior To Publication\*

Those pants look like fancy versions of her ski uniforms: all shiny and stretchy. The blazer fits, but... we need to change up her shoe game and add better makeup and accessories, at the very least. 

## Marcedes Lewis

Formal capri overalls that are designed to fasten only on one side. WOW. I don't know how Marcedes Lewis found these before Russell got to them.

## Amin Joseph

Amin is an actor, and he is ALSO bringing some Standard Cropped-Pant Westbrook Realness here, in addition to a shirt that looks like hospital scrubs.

## Tye Smith

Tye is an NFL cornerback. And "Simple" is exactly the fashion philosophy he went with, apparently. The pants and boots actually look pretty cool on him, though.

## Orlando Scandrick and Draya Michele

Meanwhile Orlando Scandrick came as a Beatrix Potter superfan.

## Calais Campbell

It's not my favorite combination of colors, but he looks comfortable, anyway, and none of it is ripped.

## Kyrie Irving

I think what I like best here is the peek of striped sock.

## Andre Iguodala

I hope he actually KEEPS stuff in his leg pockets.

## Michael Crabtree

He is CUTE. But SNOOZE.

## Shabazz Muhammad

Very dramatic. I kind of love it.

## P.K. Subban

This is sort of boring by Subban's standards. I am pleased to see the giant hat. I feel like he and Celine Dion would have a lot to say to one another.

## Brandon Williams

Brandon is one of the guys who helped formulate the list, and honestly he looks more dapper than most of the dudes at the party.

## Haley Joel Osment

And then Haley Joel Osment showed up.

## Von Miller

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2017/07/Sports-Illustrated-Fashionable-50-2016-Cover-Von-Miller-800x1058-1500484609.jpg)

I wish he'd shown up; he'd have delivered. I like this photo of him, but I do not understand why they did it in this weird ugly industrial space. I suppose they could be trying to contrast the smoothness of his look with the backdrop, but it sorta looks like an outtake from between setups.

## Swin Cash

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2017/07/Swin-Cash-1500484617.jpg)

I ALSO wish she'd shown. But the New York Liberty had games in NYC and I think she probably couldn't make the trip. This feels like a lack of imagination to me - like, amateur style bloggers have their friends take this Instagram of them, you know?

## Victor Cruz

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2017/07/VMIL2-1500484627.png)

This is also... fine? ... but he coud've as easily been photoshopped in.

## Russell Westbrook

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2017/07/VMIL3-1500484639.jpg)

I do enjoy this, though, and could almost believe he just showed up like that from his house.

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2017/07/pasted_image_at_2017_07_17_10_35_am-1500484647.png)

But, this is the best of them all, which is why it's the proper cover (I BELIEVE the others are all back-side covers?). It has tons of personality, and just enough style zip without being inaccessibly weird to what I am sure are a core collection of alpha dudes who don't understand leopard print.

[Sports Illustrated Lauds 50 Fashionable Athletes, For Whatever ReasonActually, with how seriously some of these dudes take clothes, it's a GREAT idea. FOR US.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/bf/b9/bfb99790-924d-4e41-a7e6-5e3c6e04fe57/content/images/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2017/07/bgus_926580_004-1500480088.jpg)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/sports-illustrated-lauds-50-fashionable-athletes-for-whatever-reason/)
