Nobody’s had a Paris Men’s Fashion Week quite like athlete Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s this season. The Canadian basketball player not only had a front row seat to take in the latest spring 2023 collections from labels like Givenchy and Kenzo, but he also made his very own runway debut by walking in thecomplete with a cropped button-up shirt and theatrical mask. “Talk about a fashion week finale! My new nickname is Runway Shai,” he says.
In addition to creating his own memorable fashion moment on the runway, the athlete also made sure to take in all of the new clothes from other buzzy designer labels during the week. Along the way, he delivered some VIP-worthy fits—including sleek suits, shearling jackets, and Balenciaga jumpsuits. It was the athlete’s first Paris Fashion Week, so he wanted to look the part. Louis Vuitton’s show was a particularly special moment for Gilgeous-Alexander .
Fashion shows aside, Gilgeous-Alexander even managed to squeeze in some free time in the City of Light as well. On his agenda? Lots of thrift shopping, indulging in French food , and taking in the dazzling views of the Eiffel Tower of course. The athlete said it best about his downtime plans: “Making the most out of these Parisian nights.” Below, see all of Gilgeous-Alexander’s Paris Fashion Week highlights—plus, what he wore for the busy, fashion-filled week.
