Ever since Angel Reese’s arrival in the WNBA, she has cultivated a strong following in high fashion. While her rookie season met an abrupt end, her “Chi-Town Barbie” status in the fashion industry has remained as prominent as ever. It all began in May this year when she was invited as a guest to the annual Met Gala, also known as fashion’s Super Bowl. After the mint-green sequin bodice, the 22-year-old has kept the looks coming and the fans are all here for it.

In May, she was signed as the face of Good American’s Long Denim collection, where the brand needed her for a promotional campaign tailored to tall women. Who else could have been more perfect for the role? Following this, she received offers from brands such as Diesel and Alexander McQueen to showcase their designer “tunnel fits” before her court appearances. Once again, Reese is set to make waves in the fashion world.

This time, it’s at the 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards. On October 28th, the CFDA Awards took to their official Instagram account to share, “Angel Reese looks incredible on the 2024 #CFDAAwards red carpet wearing @simkhai,” while showcasing a glimpse of the “Blonde Barbie.” The 22-year-old Maryland native looked absolutely stunning in a white side-slit dress paired with an off-shoulder fur jacket and black heels. But the real show-stopper? Her attitude throughout her poses.

Even her blonde hair was the cherry on top of the cake. As “Bayour Barbie” undoubtedly turned heads, even fans couldn’t resist diving into the comments. Within seconds of the video release, the comments were flooded with praise.

Angel Reese gears up to rule both the catwalk and the court

Everyone looked mesmerized by her recent look. “Blonde Bombshell,” wrote one user, adding heart and fire emojis to seal the sentiment. For Reese, using her looks to captivate spectators isn’t new. Before attending the Met Gala, she had already been featured on the cover of Vogue.”It’s givinggggggg starlet,” added another fan.

When the WNBA headed to Paris for the 2024 Olympics, she was back in the fashion game. While cheering for her friends, she didn’t miss the pre-Olympic Louis Vuitton event. It was at this party that an unexpected link-up emerged, as Reese was seen mingling with music sensation and Grammy winner Tyla. So it is clear the Chi Town Barbie knows how to show up and the fans agree.

“She looks so fab,” wrote another user on X.

Her recent dramatic appearance at the CFDA Fashion Awards is just an addition to her fashion repertoire. The new ash-blond look is earning all the nods. “She looks AMAZING like this,” commented another spectator.  “She looks so pretty!!” added another fan.

Now, she’s highly anticipated to make an impact in Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier’s Unrivaled league. The new 3×3 league is set to debut in January 2025 with a unique full-court format. Whether Reese, the WNBA’s rebounding leader, will make it a hit or a miss remains to be seen.
