Angel Reese isn’t just rebounding on the court—she’s turning heads off it too. The WNBA rookie sensation is making waves this offseason, flaunting a new hairstyle that could easily be categorized as an All-Star moment in its own right. After an impressive debut season with the Chicago Sky, Reese decided it was time for a little self-care and a lot of flair.
On Monday, the rebounding queen gave her Instagram followers an inside look at her stunning hair transformation. Reese, clearly overjoyed, captioned her story post with her usual humor:
“@maxb92 you know you have 30 minutesssss?!??!? You ate 😭 💋.”
Her hairstylist, Bianca Forges, wasn’t about to let Reese have all the fun. Forges, a Miami-based stylist with a social media following bigger than some WNBA arenas (230,000 and counting), shared a behind-the-scenes video of the process. Reese’s new look is nothing short of show-stopping—a perfect blend of glam and grit, just like her game.
But don’t think for a second Reese’s offseason is just about pampering. While she’s been slaying in the salon, she’s also gearing up for some fierce competition. Reese is set to participate in the Unrivaled 3×3 league, a star-studded event featuring 36 WNBA players, founded by league heavyweights Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier. The league tips off in January 2025, and Reese is ready to dominate on the half-court just as much as she does on the full one.
From Chicago to Abu Dhabi: Reese’s Jet-Setting Adventures
As if a new hairstyle and a packed basketball schedule weren’t enough, Reese recently added “world traveler” to her résumé. Over the weekend, she shared a glamorous Instagram post chronicling her two-day whirlwind trip to Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Sponsored by Etihad Airways, Reese got the VIP treatment at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
In true Reese fashion, her posts weren’t just a collection of picture-perfect moments but a montage of high-energy fun. One moment she’s riding camels in the desert; the next, she’s mingling in the high-tech garages of Formula 1 teams. Etihad Airways even chimed in on her post, commenting:
“Hey Angel, it’s great to have you in Abu Dhabi. Make the most of your time in our beautiful home.”
Because, you know, when you’re a record-breaking rookie, even airlines want to be your BFF.
Rookie Year, Record Year
Reese isn’t just dazzling fans off the court—she’s rewriting history books. In her debut season, she averaged an eye-popping 13.6 points, 13.1 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game. Oh, and did we mention she shattered the WNBA’s single-season rebounding record? Yeah, no big deal. She also earned a spot on the WNBA All-Star team, making her rookie campaign one for the ages.
If this offseason is any indication, Reese is only getting started. With a new look, a packed schedule, and a basketball IQ that’s as sharp as her style, Angel Reese is poised to take her second season to even greater heights.
Hair transformations, camel rides, and rebounding records? Just another day in the life of Angel Reese.
