Angel Reese, the Chicago Sky’s rising star, is making waves both on and off the court. The former LSU national champion, drafted 7th overall in the most-watched WNBA Draft ever, has an issue that might surprise you: her butt. Yep, you read that right. Reese recently opened up about how her famous curves are causing her all kinds of wardrobe malfunctions in her day-to-day life. As if being a professional athlete and a fashion icon weren’t challenging enough.
Reese aired this, let’s say, “fashion dilemma” on her podcast Unapologetically, where she revealed that finding clothes for high-profile events is no easy task. And no, it’s not just about choosing between designer dresses and stretchy yoga pants (though, we all know stretchy is winning that battle). Her struggle is real, folks. With legs for days and, as she bluntly puts it, “I have a butt,” fitting into tight, designer dresses for red carpets and galas has turned into a sport of its own. Talk about “custom-made problems.”
During the episode, Reese sat down with celeb stylist Law Roach to discuss the never-ending quest for fashion that actually fits. She joked about her solution, saying, “If I don’t get it custom-made, it’s a wrap. Stretchy stuff is my best friend.” And honestly, who can’t relate to that? We’ve all been there (minus the million-dollar events, of course). But while most of us battle the discomfort of skinny jeans in silence, Reese spills it to her millions of fans on a platform as stylish as her: her very own podcast. Classic Reese, right?
More Than Just a Fashion Statement
But don’t think Reese is only making headlines for her wardrobe woes. Behind the scenes, she’s working hard on the court to keep the Chicago Sky in contention for next year’s WNBA title. Reese has a new mentor in Tyler Marsh, the team’s new head coach, who’s no stranger to molding superstars. Having spent the last few seasons as an assistant coach with the Las Vegas Aces, Marsh played a key role in developing WNBA juggernaut A’ja Wilson. And now, Reese is Marsh’s new protégé.
With Marsh in her corner, expect Reese’s game to evolve in a big way. We’re talking about a player who’s not only willing to dominate in the paint but also fine-tune her skills to mirror Wilson’s MVP-caliber versatility. And sure, we know that Reese loves to steal the spotlight at glamorous events, but don’t let that fool you—her real passion lies in outworking her opponents.
Social Media Queen and Podcast Diva
Reese isn’t just a powerhouse on the court; her social media following is blowing up, too. With over 4.5 million Instagram followers and a whopping 4.8 million fans on TikTok, her content is racking up likes faster than you can say “double-double.” Her TikTok videos alone have surpassed 100 million likes, because when Angel Reese posts, people pay attention. It helps that she’s never been one to shy away from controversy or a little light-hearted drama—let’s just say, she knows how to stay unapologetically in the spotlight.
Her podcast is also taking off. With high-profile guests like Shaquille O’Neal, Dwyane Wade, and even Kayla Nicole (who has her own history of headline-grabbing moments), Reese’s Unapologetically is quickly becoming a must-listen for both basketball fans and pop culture junkies alike. Shaq spilling tea on the latest NBA drama? You know you don’t want to miss that.
Bright Future, On and Off the Court
With Reese’s fame skyrocketing, her future is as bright as a diamond-studded red-carpet gown (custom-made, of course). Between dominating the basketball world and taking over social media, she’s got enough on her plate to keep even the busiest superstar busy. And now with a coach like Tyler Marsh backing her up, the sky (pun intended) is the limit for her game next season.
Whether she’s perfecting her post moves or figuring out how to squeeze into that next designer dress, one thing’s for sure: Angel Reese is always ready to keep us entertained. And hey, even if her butt continues to give her trouble, at least it’s just another reason for her to keep being unapologetically Angel Reese.
