Angel Reese is no stranger to the spotlight, but this time, she wasn’t the one stealing the show! The Chicago Sky star, who became a household name while leading the LSU Tigers to a national title, has found her biggest fan – and she’s about three feet tall and full of sass.
In a viral video that Reese reposted on X (you know, that social media platform formerly called Twitter), a young girl decided to channel her inner Angel Reese. Dressed head-to-toe in LSU gear, headband, one-legged compression stockings, and a long ponytail swishing around like she’s ready to block shots, the mini-Reese reenacted some of the star’s most iconic moments.
Let’s be real – this kid didn’t just show up. She showed out.
She nailed everything from Angel’s fierce celebrations to her signature “too small” taunt and the ever-famous “can’t see me” gesture. Yes, the kid even threw in a little dance-off with her imaginary teammates. It was like watching a pocket-sized version of Reese, minus the NCAA Championship ring (for now, at least).
And what was Angel’s reaction? Like anyone seeing their mini-me dominate the court, she responded with pure emoji overload: “😭🥺😍.” Translation? Reese was absolutely floored by the cuteness, likely wiping away a few tears of joy between giggles.
Angel Reese’s Glow-Up Year (And Some Skincare, Too)
2023 was Angel Reese’s year – she took LSU all the way to the NCAA Championship and walked away with the title of NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player. Oh, and she did all that while making sure her ponytail was flawless. Reese’s on-court heroics caught the attention of the WNBA, and soon enough, she was drafted by the Chicago Sky.
But while Reese was balling out on the court, she was also leveling up her beauty game. Before the 2024 Draft, she hit social media asking for a makeup artist in Brooklyn to help her slay draft night. Priorities, people.
And speaking of beauty, Reese recently took her skincare to a whole new level with her first-ever Korean facial. She took to Instagram to rave about the experience, calling it a “10/10” – because if you’re breaking rebounding records, you might as well have flawless skin while doing it.
From the Court to NFL Stands (With a Wrist Injury in Between)
Reese’s rookie WNBA season was nothing short of stellar. She played 34 games before a wrist injury put her on the sidelines, but not before she averaged a cool 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds per game. And while she didn’t snag Rookie of the Year, she did break several rebounding records, which is, in Reese’s world, just a typical Tuesday.
Now, with her first offseason in full swing, Reese has been enjoying life outside the paint. She’s been spotted at NFL games, cheering on her home team – because if anyone deserves to relax and have fun, it’s someone who spent an entire season out-rebounding everyone.
As for her little look-alike? If that kid keeps up the Reese cosplay, it’s only a matter of time before she’s leading her own team to a championship – or at least making her own viral moves.
