Hey guys, I'm Erica with Young Hollywood. We're here at Subway where we're going to meet with Russell Westbrook, NBA superstar. The newest famous fan at Subway.
All right, Russell, it's madness here at the Subway. You've been making sandwiches for everyone, but let's take a little bit of time and focus on you and what's going on in your life. So, you've been dubbed the MVP of fashion in the NBA by Anna Wintour, I heard. What do you think about that?
That's an honor. It's an honor. Uh, you know, I just try to go out, I like to dress up, have fun and express myself. So, it's an honor.
And how would you describe your fashion sense?
Spontaneous. Very spontaneous. Just kinda go with the flow. How I feel, what colors look good, what material, what fabrics, you know, just kinda go with it.
Who are some of your fashion inspirations?
Well, obviously Anna Wintour is one, uh, Andre Leon Talley, I had an opportunity to meet with him during the Fashion Week. I had a opportunity to meet with different designers through the whole process, uh, you know, going to Fashion Week, different things like that. So it's been fun.
Absolutely. And I have to ask you, who's one female celebrity that has like the freshest style, you think?
Freshest style? Female celebrity. Well, lately I've been seeing um, I I don't know her name off the top of my head, the actor that was in the 12 Years of Slave.
Oh, yes. Lupita.
Yes. She's she's done a uh a great job of dressing up as of late. I've been kinda, you know, seeing her, seeing her style. Yeah, on the red carpet. It's been great, yeah.
phenomenal. Absolutely. Now, where did you get your fashion sense from in your family?
My mom. My mom was big corporate, that uh dressing me when we were younger and now she gave me opportunity, I could dress myself.
Okay, that's nice. Does she still give you like little pointers here and there?
Of course, whenever I try things on, I mean, send it to her and see if she likes it. She'll say she loves it or hates it or tells me the truth, I know that. So.
She's your biggest fan yet your biggest critic.
She tells me for sure.
Now I know that you're big into music. What is like a song right now that's playing continually on your iPod?
Beyoncé's album is basically playing. Every song, videos, all of it.
You must have seen her performance with uh, Jay-Z.
I was tuned in for sure, yes.
Oh, you were. Okay. You were a big fan of that. I I take it.
Of course, of course.
Well, we're so happy that we got to see you and thank you so much, Russell, and um we're looking forward to more nice fashion from you and some pointers.
