Angel Reese is here to make waves—blonde waves, that is! The 22-year-old WNBA sensation, known for her fierce moves on the court, is stepping off the hardwood and into the spotlight of high fashion, social media stardom, and some serious off-court boss moves. With her first-ever all-blonde look, Reese has everyone buzzing (or gagging, depending on who you ask). She’s out to prove that not only can she dominate on the court, but she’s got a chokehold on the style game, too.
Blonde Ambition Meets Sky High Fashion
Reese debuted her new blonde ‘do at the 2024 Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Awards in New York City, and let’s just say she didn’t come to play. Sporting a stunning white Simkhai look from the Pre-Fall collection, Reese paired it with a feathery coat that could make Big Bird jealous. The total look? Over $500—and that’s just the coat. Diamonds dripping from her fingers and neck? Check. Heels so high that they might as well have been dunking in the WNBA? You bet. If flexing wealth and making jaws drop was a sport, Reese would be MVP—again.
‘Be Prepared to Be Sick of Me!’
Not one to be shy, Reese took to Snapchat to warn her followers about what’s coming next: a whole lot more of her. “It’s my first time going all blonde, so I just wanted to switch it up and try something different,” she teased her fans before cryptically hinting at a “huge day” ahead. Of course, this all came after a wild night out and the promise of more concert updates because apparently, Reese never sleeps. Not that we’re complaining—her life is like a reality show, and we’re all just trying to keep up.
“Guys, we had an amazing night! I’ll upload the concert tomorrow; we have a huge day tomorrow… be prepared to be sick of me,” she declared. Reese, we’re already sick—in a good way.
From Court to Couture (and Everything in Between)
The offseason isn’t really an “off” season for Reese. She’s booked and busy, mixing her time between attending NFL and NBA games, recording her podcast, and her deals with Reebok. It’s a wonder she even has time to sit still in a salon chair long enough to go blonde. But, hey, this is Angel Reese—multi-tasking is her middle name.
With her larger-than-life personality and willingness to experiment with her look, Reese is proving that she’s just as much a star off the court as she is on it. Plus, it looks like she’s gunning for the CFDA Awards’ “Best Dressed” next year because, let’s face it, she’s coming for everyone’s wigs—literally and figuratively.
CFDA Awards: The Oscars of Fashion
In case you were wondering what the CFDA Awards are (where have you been?), they’re like the Oscars but for fashion, where the industry’s top designers, stars, and influencers show up and show out. Reese is certainly in good company, rubbing elbows with the likes of Blake Lively, Katie Holmes, and Sebastian Stan. But let’s be real, everyone was probably looking at Reese. Or, more accurately, at that killer white coat.
So, what’s next for Reese? Besides making sure her fans stay “sick” of her, it’s anyone’s guess. But with her blonde transformation and relentless hustle, one thing’s for sure—Angel Reese is going nowhere but up, and she’s taking her style (and us) along for the ride.
