“Golden Girl: WNBA Star Angel Reese’s Platinum Evolution Stuns Fashion Elite”
In a breathtaking display of old Hollywood glamour meets modern athletic prowess, WNBA sensation Angel Reese commanded attention at Monday night’s CFDA Fashion Awards in New York City. The Chicago Sky player, known for her formidable presence on the court, proved equally commanding on the red carpet, serving pure elegance in a show-stopping ensemble that would have made Marilyn Monroe proud.
Taking a well-deserved breather from her rigorous WNBA schedule, Reese emerged as the evening’s unexpected style maven in a masterfully crafted Jonathan Simkhai creation. The strapless gown, with its deliberately positioned slit, created the kind of dramatic silhouette that defines red carpet moments. The accompanying fur coat didn’t just complete the look – it elevated it to the realm of classic cinema.
But darlings, let’s talk about those shoes, shall we? The basketball phenomenon selected Gianvito Rossi’s coveted Metropolis strappy sandals, a choice that perfectly balanced sophistication with sex appeal. The $815 patent leather beauties feature the designer’s signature diagonal strap across the midfoot – a detail that had fashion editors swooning. The 4-to-5-inch stiletto heel (yes, we measured) proved that Reese is as comfortable commanding attention in heels as she is dominating the basketball court.
The athlete-turned-fashion-muse transformed her look further with a dramatic hair metamorphosis that had photographers in a frenzy. Her newly-platinum tresses, styled in an effortless middle part with face-framing curtain bangs, created the perfect canvas for her dewy makeup look. A glossy lip and subtle pink flush completed the ingenue-inspired beauty moment.
Accessories spoke volumes without overshadowing the ensemble’s impact. Chunky diamond-encrusted pieces – from an eye-catching necklace to statement rings – added the right amount of sparkle without veering into excess. The overall effect was a masterclass in modern glamour with a nostalgic twist.
But the evening wasn’t just about fashion – Reese dropped some exciting news that had both style enthusiasts and sports fans buzzing. The star confirmed her upcoming signature Reebok shoe, slated for 2026, will be a custom design. This announcement follows last week’s news of her multiyear contract extension with the athletic wear giant, a partnership that began in October 2023. The significance? Reese is poised to become only the second WNBA player to receive a signature shoe, a groundbreaking achievement that marries her athletic prowess with her undeniable style influence.
“Buy it to support Women’s Basketball,” Reese urged, proving that even in a room full of fashion’s elite, her commitment to advancing women’s sports remains unwavering.
