Angel Reese dazzled with her impeccable style at the 2024 WNBA Draft
Not only is Angel Reese’s professional future bright, but her stunning beauty is also a focal point of attention when the 2024 WNBA Draft takes place tonight. Renowned for her exceptional fashion sense off the court, Reese attracted attention on the “orange carpet” of the draft once more.
The former LSU Tigers player made a dramatic arrival wearing a slinky, hooded gown by Bronx & Banco, styled by Vogue editor Naomi Elizee. The ensemble shimmered like liquid metal, a magnificent combination of silver and black textiles. Reese was the focus of attention because of the dress’s floor-length silhouette and plunging neckline.

Reese, who was dubbed “Bayou Barbie” with affection during her NCAA days, has always been praised for her avant-garde wardrobe choices, which range from her custom manicures and doll-like eyelashes to her general sense of style. Her basketball skills, which were highlighted in 2023 when she helped LSU win its first NCAA championship, were enhanced by these qualities. It was evident that Reese was not going to neglect her fashion game on one of the biggest evenings of her career.
With her stylish outfit and glitzy accents, Angel Reese makes WNBA Draft night even more spectacular.
Reese opted for celebrity nail artist Angie Aguirre for this special event, and she created a stylish French manicure with black tips embellished with little bows. Additionally, she worked with Essence Martin to accessorize her look with a set of bespoke grills lined with diamonds, lending a glamorous touch to her suit.

Reese’s use of a hooded gown capitalizes on a red carpet trend that has enjoyed a renaissance amongst stars such as Laura Harrier, Janelle Monae, and Bella Hadid. Inspired by the glitz and glitter of the 1970s, and championed by luxury labels such as Saint Laurent and Alaïa, the look demonstrates Reese’s keen sense of style and knowledge of current trends.

The way that Angel Reese combines fashion with her athletic career is not new. In an interview with Vogue, she declared her intention to enter the 2024 WNBA Draft. To go along with the announcement, there was a dramatic picture session that featured designs from Wales Bonner, Valentino, and Diesel. Fans should expect her game days to revolve around her on-court exploits as much as her stylish off-court appearances as she embarks on her professional basketball career. Expect a season in which every tunnel walk is a runway show, regardless of whatever team acquires her skill today.
