In a twist that no one saw coming, Caitlin Clark, Indiana Fever’s dazzling rookie, attempted a bold escape from the limelight at the WNBA All-Star Game red carpet in Phoenix. Known for her on-court wizardry, Clark tried her hand at some off-court trickery—attempting to vanish into thin air to avoid the relentless flashes of the paparazzi. Spoiler alert: it didn’t work.
Clark’s grand entrance quickly morphed into an awkward but endearing comedy show. As she scurried down the red carpet, probably faster than she sprints to the hoop, an event attendant—clearly a foe to her vanishing act—caught up with her, ensuring she returned to the spotlight to pose for photos. Nice try, Clark, but even Houdini couldn’t have pulled this one off with that many eyes on him.
Attempting the Impossible: Keeping a Low Profile When You’re Caitlin Clark
Let’s face it: avoiding attention is like asking the sun not to shine, especially for someone like Clark. With her jaw-dropping performances and record-shattering stats in her debut WNBA season, she’s become the league’s latest sensation. She’s the kind of player who can’t walk past a camera without it turning into a photoshoot.
At the All-Star Game, her high-fashion ensemble, no doubt provided by some swanky brand eager to bask in her reflected glory, only added to her star power. Though she might have been plotting an undercover escape, Clark was dressed to the nines, embodying a blend of elegance and athleticism that screamed, “Look at me!”
Vote Magnet: Caitlin Clark Leads the Pack
The All-Star voting tallies are a testament to her growing fanbase: Clark led the charge with a whopping 700,735 votes. Trailing behind were Aliyah Boston (618,680), A’ja Wilson (607,300), Breanna Stewart (424,135), and Angel Reese (381,518). Clearly, when it comes to popularity, Clark is playing in a league of her own.
Despite the humorous red carpet antics, Clark’s journey hasn’t been all glitz and giggles. The Indiana Fever, after a rocky 1-8 start, have clawed their way to a respectable 10-7 over the past two months, currently holding an 11-15 record. Clark’s perseverance and undeniable talent have been pivotal in this turnaround, proving that she’s not just a fleeting sensation but a cornerstone for the future of the franchise.
Caitlin Clark’s Unplanned Comedy Routine

But as always, Clark took it in stride, her infectious smile lighting up the venue.
With the WNBA taking a month-long break for the All-Star Game and the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, fans will have to wait to see Clark back in action.
