In the glamorous world where basketball meets bold fashion, Angel Reese knows how to steal the spotlight. The Chicago Sky forward, nicknamed “Bayou Barbie,” turned heads at the WNBA Draft Lottery on Sunday—not just for her team’s future but for her show-stopping outfit. Reese rocked a striking pink blazer dress, channeling major “boss energy,” and it didn’t go unnoticed. Even Khloe Kardashian, reality TV royalty and co-founder of the clothing brand Good American, couldn’t resist the look.
Reese, always one to flaunt her style and sass, tagged Kardashian in her Instagram story. The response? Khloe hit back with a single yet powerful, “Yesssssss,” accompanied by three pink hearts—because apparently, the number of S’s and emojis equals the level of approval in Kardashian-land.
This wasn’t just a fashion statement; it was a power move. Reese wore a dress from Good American, the body-positive brand that aims to empower women. Judging by the exchange, Angel clearly did the dress justice. Forget stats—this might be Reese’s biggest assist of the season.
From Draft Picks to Fashion Picks
While Reese basked in the social media limelight, the Dallas Wings walked away with the first pick in the 2025 WNBA draft, leaving Reese’s Sky with the third. But hey, who’s counting when you’re outshining everyone off the court? Reese managed to dominate the narrative without touching a basketball that night. Impressive, right?
Money Talks… Or Does It?
Speaking of narratives, Reese’s financial clout—or lack thereof—sparked curiosity at ComplexCon in Las Vegas, where she candidly addressed rumors about her net worth. The buzz? Reports claim she’s sitting on a $2 million fortune, but Reese swiftly shot that down.
“Way off,” she quipped to Speedy Morman, leaving just enough mystery to keep fans guessing. For context, her rookie salary in the WNBA was a humble $73,439—not even enough to cover rent in Chicago, according to Reese. Let that sink in: The queen of college hoops can barely afford a shoebox apartment in the Windy City.
But don’t feel too bad for her. With a six-figure paycheck coming from a new 3×3 league and lucrative deals, including a sweet partnership with Hershey’s Reese’s (because, duh), Angel’s bank account isn’t exactly crying for help. Plus, her Unapologetically Angel podcast keeps the endorsement train rolling.
From Court to Couture
Reese continues to prove she’s not just a basketball star but a full-blown brand. Whether it’s wearing a Kardashian-approved outfit or negotiating endorsement deals, she’s redefining what it means to be a WNBA player in 2024. Who needs a lottery pick when you’ve already won the game of public perception?
So, while the basketball world debates stats and draft strategies, Angel Reese is busy doing what she does best—winning hearts, headlines, and, apparently, Khloe Kardashian’s seal of approval.
