EXCLUSIVE – From Zia Cooke to Angel Reese, Celebrity Stylist Reveals Future Plans in Fashion World

Angel Reese’s stylist Madison Ledyard has made a name for herself in the fashion industry. She is the one behind some of the most popular Reese’s looks. Ledyard has sent waves in the balling circuits so much so that she would easily find some of the top stars wanting her as their styling professional. With a growing reputation, the celebrity stylist was recently invited for an exclusive chat with Essentially Sports.

Ledyard was asked an array of questions but one personal discussion that caught the fancy of many fans was regarding her next moves in her career.

What did Ledyard say?

Ledyard, who is famous for having manifestation lists, was asked about the next client that she would like to cater to, and her reply proved her unwavering attention to her brand. “Great question, I wouldn’t say anyone in particular but I would definitely love to expand to more athletes men and women, as well as artist in the music industry,” Ledyard replied.

For the unversed, as per SLAM, Ledyard used to post different looks on TikTok for a section she called “Style With Me.” Working hard with influencer collaborations, Ledyard shot to fame when she styled the WNBA rookie Zia Cooke for the 2023 WNBA draft. Cooke had donned an elegant mermaid dress that had a lot of intricate work with gemstones. The Los Angeles Sparks star had turned heads with her exquisite looks apart from capturing headlines for her talent. 

It was then that Ledyard decided that she wanted to work with Reese. So one fine day she casually tweeted the same and to her surprise received a response from the NCAA star. Reese also expressed her motive of looking forward to wearing stylized dresses from Ledyard. “*eyeball emoji* let’s workkkkk” responded the Bayou Barbie. And since then there has been no looking back.

Ledyard has been the go-to person behind Reese’s swoon-worthy looks. Whether it was the cut-out red dress that she wore to the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue release party or the blue hoodie that Reese wore while making an appearance in Latto’s “Put It On Da Floor Again,” Ledyard deserves the credit for each one of them. Meanwhile, Ledyard also discussed the name behind Reese’s popular one-legged sleeve.

Who is behind Reese’s on-court fashion?

Reese is famous for wearing a one-legged sleeve that goes with her Louisiana State University Lady Tigers jersey. Ledyard had revealed that Reese “starts her own trends” and “doesn’t care what people think.” The LSU forward had previously stated as per Nola.com (h/t: Sports Illustrated) that the one-legged sleeve helps her hide her scars that were a result of the rod inserted in her left leg due to Jones’s fracture.

Now, that Ledyard has come forward, fans would be wanting her to style more athletes and fulfill her dreams of expanding her clientele. At the same time, they would also admire Reese for having a say in her personal on-court fashion.
