When Sabrina Ionescu isn’t draining threes or setting up her teammates with laser-accurate assists, she’s making waves off the court with her effortlessly chic outfit choices. The New York Liberty star, fresh off helping her team secure their first-ever WNBA Championship, has made it clear that she’s not just a baller—she’s a fashion icon. But how does she keep it so simple and stylish at the same time? Well, the secret is out, and it’s not as glamorous as you’d expect.
In a recent interview with Women’s Health, Ionescu, the queen of “casual but cool,” revealed her surprising approach to getting dressed for the day. Spoiler: It’s all about comfort. “I like to be comfortable, whether it’s jeans and a T-shirt,” she said with the same ease she probably drops dimes on the court. But don’t let her fool you—those jeans and tees are from her Nike collaboration, which, as she proudly pointed out, can be dressed up or down. The girl’s got range—both on the court and in her closet.
Before hitting the hardwood, Ionescu keeps it real with a morning ritual that screams, “I’m a professional athlete, but also a minimalist.” Hydrate? Check. Stretch? Obviously. Eat a basic breakfast? Absolutely. No flashy pregame rituals here. Just simple routines, followed by the classic “everything Nike” workout attire. Because, let’s be honest, if you’re a Nike athlete and you’re not head-to-toe in swoosh logos, are you even playing the game right?
Now, let’s talk post-workout. After she’s done breaking ankles and defenders’ spirits, Sabrina likes to slide into something more chill. Athleisure, folks. A laid-back vibe that says, “Yeah, I just won a championship, but I’m not trying to wear a ballgown to Whole Foods.” It’s all about keeping it comfy—and yes, her Nike line is front and center. But don’t think she’s stopping at sweats and sneakers. Oh no, Sabrina loves her accessories, and she’s not afraid to let you know it.
“After the game, I’m always putting my Mejuri jewelry back on,” she said, pointing to her necklace and rings. And can you blame her? If you’ve just carried your team to victory, you deserve a little sparkle. Sabrina’s got a soft spot for jewelry, which is her way of expressing herself after a tough game.
In fact, this isn’t even new. Back in 2023, she told GQ she treated herself to a Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet after winning the gold medal at the World Cup in Australia. “I deserve a really nice piece of jewelry,” she said at the time, channeling that post-victory swagger. The justification? Well, she’s a champion. Who’s going to argue with that?
As the WNBA offseason rolls along, one thing is certain—Sabrina Ionescu will continue to dazzle both on and off the court. Whether she’s rocking athleisure, flexing her jewelry game, or splashing in another three-pointer, the Liberty star proves that winning looks good. Like, really good.
