James Harden and the Brooklyn Nets' run in the 2021 NBA playoffs might be over, but fashion, as is said, is never finished.

The 2021 Paris Fashion Week began on Monday, and the Nets' All-Star guard was in France checking out the couture.

In June, Harden was named to the board of luxury brand Saks Fifth Avenue. In a release at the time, Harden said he had "a love of fashion." Now he's attending shows with rappers Kanye West and Lil Baby, and joined other celebrities like Cara Delevingne, Jessica Chastain, Joe Jonas, Sophie Turner and Jennifer Lawrence at the fashion house shows.

Balenciaga held its first couture show in 50 years, and Harden was there sporting pieces from the Spanish fashion house. For Harden, the trip to Paris combines a couple of his off-court interests. Besides fashion, Harden will also serve as a producer on Lil Baby's "Voice of the Heroes" project.

On Thursday afternoon, Harden was seen in a video with French police but was not arrested and was never taken into custody.
