Angel Reese's Chanel spree—Does this show that personal happiness trumps professional setbacks?

“Of course, I like to do everything big.” It was already obvious that Angel Reese is going to be more than a hooper, a fashion icon, when she made her announcement to enter WNBA drafts through Vogue. Over time she turned heads through bold outfits reflecting fashion enthusiasm. Well, now while she is on her recovery from a season-ending injury, the rookie is making sure not to let her passion for fashion fade.

While enjoying her off-season break in Los Angeles, Reese has been making the most of her downtime. Today, she gave her fans a peek into her shopping spree at the Chanel showroom. Taking to her Instagram story, she shared a collage of four photos. The snaps included her admiring a selection of Chanel handbags and a chic mirror selfie taken right in the showroom. The collage also featured two additional pictures that highlighted the elegant ambiance of the Chanel store.

This isn’t the first time the rookie has flaunted her love for Chanel, making it her go-to brand for handbags. Shortly after her WNBA draft announcement, Reese gave fans a similar peek into her Chanel obsession while sharing an Instagram story of her visit to their showroom. Back then, the Chi-Town Barbie even captioned the snap with, “anything for BARBIE.”

Angel Reese unwinds off the court: From NFL games to Usher’s concert magic

With Chicago missing the playoffs, Angel Reese doesn’t have to worry about cheering from the sidelines and is enjoying the chance to unwind to the full. While she’s committed to releasing her weekly podcast episodes, where she hosts various celebrities, the Sky star is also taking the chance to explore her love for other sports. Just a couple of days ago, she gave fans a peek into her experience from the stands at an NFL game featuring the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers.

But that’s not all! Reese has been reminiscing about a past encounter with the legendary singer Usher. On the same day she attended an NFL game, her night got even more thrilling. She later shared a clip from the Intuit Dome, where the ‘Confessions’ singer was performing at his concert, making her day even more unforgettable.

Have an interesting take?

Usher shared a video on his Instagram story, where he playfully extended the microphone toward the rookie rocking a stunning white dress. As the singer tagged Reese, the Sky forward couldn’t help but re-share the moment, humorously downplaying her singing skills with the caption, “look at me struggling to sing.” 

With her next on-court appearance not scheduled until the inaugural season of Unrivaled tips off next January, she has plenty of time to take a well-deserved break after her record-breaking rookie season.
