The Bayou Barbie is a renowned college basketball player, but on the other side, she is also a very influential swimsuit model. Aside from her sport, she takes pride in her fashion and never disappoints her fans. Her unapologetic attitude and exceptional fashion sense have gained her over 2.5 million followers on Instagram.
Over the years, she was spotted several times with unique dresses from several fashion tachyons. However, taking fashion to another level, Reese never forgets to get her lashes, nails, and hair done, even in her matches. In an interview with Law Roach of Interview Magazine, Reese said, “ I love fashion and always wanted to be a model. I’m six foot, three inches, so I could be a model. I love taking pictures. My mom would be like, ‘You taking a hundred pictures just to post three on Instagram?’ That’s just what I do. My grandma taught me: Never let nobody mess up your mascara, your nails, your lashes. You can be cute and go out there and still ball. So I’m trying to change the stereotype that women in sports can’t be girly and have fashion off the court.”

So far, the Tigers in the shadows of Reese have won ten matches out of the eleven matches they have played. Although amidst the season, many anticipated that the Tigers were going to have the worst season ever, with Reese being sidelined because of ‘Coach’s decision’, her comeback proved everyone wrong.
And if the Tigers continue to play with the same rhythm they are playing right now, there will be no stopping them until they clinch this year’s title too.
