As guests like Chris Rock, Carmelo Anthony and Brooklyn Beckham took their seats at Tom Ford’s show Wednesday night, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander captured the scene from behind mirrored sunglasses. “It’s elegant and clean, but also flashy and fun,” said the Oklahoma City Thunder star – and first-level NBA style god. “The best of both worlds.” He’s talking about his outfit, a sparkly silver blouson shirt and taper black trousers, but he may also be describing Tom Ford’s winning approach to menswear.
