Caitlin Clark, the Indiana Fever’s basketball sensation, didn’t just light up the court in Sunday’s victory over the Seattle Storm—she also set social media ablaze with her jaw-dropping pregame outfit. While Clark is no stranger to breaking records on the hardwood, her latest fashion statement might just be her boldest yet, as it reportedly cost a small fortune that could make even a Wall Street exec blush.
Let’s break down this sartorial masterpiece, shall we? Clark strutted into Gainbridge Fieldhouse rocking threads that screamed luxury louder than a buzzer-beater three-pointer. An X (formerly known as Twitter) user, @HeavensFX, gave the internet the play-by-play of her pregame fit, which added up to a staggering $20,836. Yep, you read that right. Here’s the lineup:
- Top by Veronica Beard: $298 – Because nothing says “I’m here to ball out” like a designer top that’s worth more than your monthly rent.
- Pants by Veronica Beard: $428 – These pants have seen more action on the fashion front than some players see on the court.
- Medusa Tote by Versace: $1,995 – When you need to carry your MVP trophies and your haters’ tears in style.
- Bracelets by John Hardy: $3,000 – Just a casual flex with bracelets that probably cost more than your entire wardrobe.
- Watch by Rolex: $15,000 – Because when you’re breaking records, you need to keep time with something as legendary as your game.
- Air Force One Shoes by Nike: $115 – A modest choice, considering the total damage here. But hey, a girl’s gotta keep her feet on the ground… occasionally.
Total: $20,836 – or, as we like to call it, “How to Outshine the Entire Arena Without Even Lacing Up.”
Now, let’s not kid ourselves—the bulk of this outfit’s price tag comes from that Rolex and those John Hardy bracelets. When your wrist game is strong enough to buy a car, you know you’ve arrived. But for Clark, this is just another day in the life of WNBA royalty. After all, when you’re already setting records on the court, why not do the same with your fashion?
But wait, this isn’t the first time Clark has turned heads with her style choices. Remember the 2024 WNBA Draft? Clark, the No. 1 overall pick, waltzed up to the stage in a Prada fit that could only be described as “next-level boss mode.” Her stylist, Adri Zgirdea, wasn’t about to let her client’s big moment go unnoticed.
“I wanted to take Caitlin’s natural flair and bold playing style from the court to the orange carpet,” Zgirdea told Women’s Wear Daily. “She already captivates people with her game, so it was all about translating that energy into a look that says, ‘Yeah, I’m the one.’”
And captivate she does—not just with her outfits, but with her MVP-caliber performances. Clark is the frontrunner for Rookie of the Year, which is about as shocking as finding out water is wet. But what’s more impressive is her rise in the MVP race. She’s now second only to Las Vegas Aces’ A’ja Wilson, and let’s be real: making the top three in MVP voting as a rookie is like hitting a half-court shot blindfolded—it’s practically unheard of.
Clark leads the league in assists and recently shattered the rookie record for most assists in a season. If her pregame outfits are any indication, she’s assisting her style game just as much as she’s assisting her teammates.
So, whether it’s on the court or off, one thing’s for sure—Caitlin Clark knows how to make an entrance. And if her fashion continues to evolve alongside her game, we might need to start a new award category: Best Dressed MVP.
