Fresh off her appearance at the 2024 CFDA Awards in a dazzling all-white ensemble, WNBA sensation Angel Reese decided it was time for a hair makeover – and in a TikTok-worthy way! Sporting a sleek blonde look on the red carpet, complete with a striking white, strapless dress, a white fur coat, and jet-black heels for an edgy contrast, Reese truly commanded the spotlight. But just a day later, she decided to shake things up with a dramatic twist, swapping her golden locks for a chic jet-black ‘do, all while playfully nodding to the “Once you go black, you never go back” trend on TikTok.
Reese, known for her fearless personality both on and off the court, posted the transformation video on her Instagram Stories to the delight of her followers. She even added some fun commentary, writing, “I could be all the way covered & STILL giving sexy.” After all, who says you can’t look fabulous while switching up your look entirely?
The Chicago Sky forward turned heads at the CFDA Awards at New York’s American Museum of Natural History, where she joined other A-listers like Blake Lively, Addison Rae, and Tyla. Reese strutted in style, rocking an outfit by designer Jonathan Simkhai. Clearly, her choice in fashion and hair has made waves as Reese continues to prove she’s not only a powerhouse on the court but a style icon off of it.
However, the CFDA buzz wasn’t the only Reese-related headline this week. Shaquille O’Neal, fellow LSU alum and 52-year-old NBA legend, joined Reese on her podcast, “Unapologetically Angel.” It was meant to be a lighthearted chat about WNBA salaries, but things took a bit of an awkward turn. Shaq jokingly suggested Reese might boost jersey sales by rocking the same shorts she wore on the “Wild ‘N Out” show. This offhand comment sparked mixed reactions, with some fans calling Shaq out for what they felt was an uncomfortable moment, especially since Reese seemed visibly taken aback. “Home girl is visibly uncomfortable,” one fan posted, while another chimed in, “That’s just…weird.”
Reese, quick on her feet as always, managed to steer the conversation back on track. But fans had plenty to say, adding fuel to what’s already been a whirlwind week for the young star.
Between setting trends and handling awkward podcast moments, Angel Reese is proving she’s got the chops to juggle it all. Keep an eye out—who knows what she’ll do next?
