Pete Davidson couldn’t have dressed better for a photo with Russell Westbrook if he tried.
On Friday, Nov. 6, the former Saturday Night Live star stopped by The Corner Store’s opening celebration at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, fresh off a stand-up set at The Chelsea inside the same resort. There, he posed alongside Westbrook in a backward red baseball cap and a gray hoodie with “RUSSELL ATHLETIC” printed across the chest.
Whether the comedian knew he’d be running into the nine-time NBA All-Star that night is unclear, but the wardrobe coincidence is pretty hard to beat.
Hoodie aside, the real flex may have been on his wrist. According to a press release from the event, Davidson accessorized with a Cloche de Cartier, a distinctive bell-shaped watch with a history dating back to the 1920s. When Cartier revived the design in 2021, its limited-edition gold models retailed for $27,500, with just 100 pieces produced in each metal.
Of course, Davidson and Westbrook weren’t the only famous faces in the room. Keegan-Michael Key and The Chainsmokers’ Drew Taggart and Alex Pall also toasted the New York hotspot’s first location outside SoHo. Ludacris was there, too, treating guests to a surprise performance of his hit “Get Back,” according to Page Six.
Over the course of the preview weekend, guests sampled Wagyu French dips and the signature Sour Cream & Onion Martini ahead of the public opening on Monday, Nov. 9. The original, which counts Taylor Swift among its celebrity clientele, has become one of New York City’s toughest reservations.
Westbrook, meanwhile, had a big week of his own. On Nov. 2, the Oklahoma City Thunder announced they will retire his No. 0 jersey on Feb. 7, 2027, when they host the New York Knicks, CBS Sports reported. The 2017 MVP stepped away from the league in August after 18 seasons and has stayed busy with his clothing label, Honor The Gift, which popped up at ComplexCon last month.
As for Davidson, the cozy outfit fits a recent pattern. At the New York premiere of his new movie How to Rob a Bank on Tuesday, Nov. 10, he told E! News that his years-long tattoo removal has been “brutal.”
“I’ve only been wearing sweaters for, like, six months so you don’t know what’s going on under there,” he said.
Davidson started lasering off his ink in 2020, though he left the door open for a comeback. “You never know, they might come back,” he added.
