Angel Reese, the Chicago Sky’s phenom, isn’t just dropping threes, she’s dropping jaws with her statement-making style. Remember her draft night entrance?
The WNBA basketball player turned heads in a semi-sheer Bronx and Banco dress adorned with beads, looking like a modern-day disco queen. And then there was her Met Gala debut look: a mint green confection by the British label 16Arlington that had the fashion world buzzing.
Now, that the Chicago Sky rookie has landed in a city with a championship pedigree she isn’t shying away from the pressure. Reese knows Chicago craves greatness, both on and off the court, and has been ready to deliver in all aspects.
Just look at her pre-game outfit for the Sky’s game against the Dallas Wings — it was a masterclass in channeling your inner champion.
Angel’s Championship Sweater
Channeling her inner Michael Jordan, a Chicago legend himself, Reese sported a custom-made knitted sweater by Knitwrth featuring a photo of His Royal Airness in full Bulls glory, trophy in hand.
The rest of the look was pure fashion fire: a grey pleated mini skirt, black Rick Owens boots, and a black Gucci bucket bag. But it was her Chanel reading glasses and white headband — positioned just so over her long black hair — that took her overall look to the next level.
This is exactly why Angel Reese is such a breath of fresh air. She’s not afraid to take risks, and embrace fashion as a form of self-expression. It’s a message all WNBA players and athletes everywhere should embrace. These women are not just incredible athletes — they’re trendsetters, too.
The Best Game-Day Looks From The WNBA’s 2024 Season
Athletes using the tunnel as a proverbial runway is nothing new. But for the first time in a long time, the WNBA has captured the attention of the masses — average viewership has nearly tripled from last year. In this spotlight, players are pulling absolute looks.
Rookies Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark are working with major designers like Prada, and the former also has a slew of cool-girl brands in her arsenal, such as Diesel and Sami Miro Vintage. And don’t sleep on league veterans, like Kysre Gondrezick and Skylar Diggins-Smith, who are certified pros when it comes to pre-game ensembles. This season, they’ve both been offering up effortless takes on the “quiet luxury trend.”
With the WNBA season well underway, it can be hard to keep track of all the game-day looks, so we’ve rounded up the best of the bunch. (And if you’re curious, there’s an Instagram account dedicated to tracking the ’fits.)
Over the weekend, Angel Reese wore a tailored set from the multi-label retailer Revolve. The Chicago Sky player donned a cropped blazer with a matching mini skirt, which she accessorized with a black tuxedo bag and buckled leather boots from the kitschy designer Marrknull. For eyewear, she embraced this season’s academia look, finishing the ensemble with a pair of black square-frame glasses.
