In a dazzling twist of events at the 2024 Olympic Games’ opening ceremony party in Paris, Angel Reese, the Chicago Sky’s rookie sensation, took center stage—not on the court, but on the fashion runway. The 22-year-old basketball prodigy, who’s making waves in her debut WNBA season, decided to channel her “girly girl” vibes, trading in her usual court-side intensity for a chic, high-fashion look.
Sporting a pristine white Louis Vuitton dress that cheekily stopped at her upper thighs, Reese looked every bit the fashionista. The ensemble, reminiscent of a tennis outfit, was paired with a brown-patterned neck scarf and a matching bag, making her entrance at the Foundation Louis Vuitton an instant viral moment. WNBA fans, accustomed to seeing her fierce game face, were treated to a softer, more glamorous side of Reese.
But it wasn’t just the fans who were floored. Lisa Leslie, WNBA legend and two-time Finals MVP, couldn’t resist weighing in on Reese’s sartorial choice. “Cat Walk,” Leslie commented on Instagram, adding five fire emojis to underscore her approval. It’s not every day that a rookie gets fashion accolades from a Hall of Famer, but Reese’s off-court style seems to be as commanding as her on-court presence.
Leslie’s support didn’t stop there. The WNBA icon appears committed to shielding Reese from any rookie-year criticism, celebrating her vibrant personality and promising performance. With an average of 13.5 points and 11.9 rebounds per game, Reese is not just about style but substance, putting her firmly in the conversation for WNBA Rookie of the Year.
As the Chicago Sky enjoys a well-deserved summer break, fans are eagerly anticipating Reese’s return to the hardwood. The team will be back in action on August 15, facing the Phoenix Mercury at the Wintrust Arena. With a record teetering at 10-14, the Sky will be looking to Reese for both points and pizzazz.
In a world where athletes are often reduced to mere stats, Angel Reese is proving that she’s a force both on and off the court—whether she’s dropping dimes or donning designer. The WNBA just got a whole lot more glamorous, and we’re here for it.
