A 2024 NCAA Final Four matchup came to life as Nika Muhl and Caitlin Clark returned to the floor against each other. The only difference is that this time they are professional hoopers, trying to adjust to their new teams. Tonight was the Croatian guard’s debut after working through her working visa issues. And how did she show up? In the quirkiest way of all. As she stepped on the floor wearing the green, the crowd of 18,343 could not help but stand up for her.
Geno Auriemma’s prodigy finally came to support her team on the floor with 2:39 left in the third quarter. Just as she stepped in, the crowd stood up, giving the hooper, who had to wait much more than most of the rookies, a much-deserved round of applause. And as soon as she did, Clark, who was going for her second attempt from the free throw line, missed it. This only added to the ecstatic environment in the Climate Pledge Arena as they observed a greater rumble.
But before that too, Nika Muhl killed it with her outfit choice. In the tunnel walk, Muhl wore a denim skirt with black glasses and green boots. But the most intriguing element was her T-shirt. She got a custom-made top with her visa as the print and a huge “Approved” written across it.

Tonight, she could only manage 2 rebounds in her 3 minutes on the floor. But Muhl has been on top of her fashion game for quite some time now. Let us look at her closet range so far.

Ever since the draft night, basketball fans have loved how the former Husky has represented herself on various stages. On the Orange carpet on April 15, 2024, Nika Muhl chose to wear a full-length black skirt with a matching top. One of the most creative sides of this outfit was her accessory. She got a custom-designed grill for some ice to the rather official look. The grill was designed by Gabby Elan Jewelry and showcased “ZG” for Zagreb, Croatia, her hometown.

Later as well, her first look as a part of the Storm made everyone turn their heads. She donned the very casual look of a sweatshirt with pants and shorts with a vest. Muhl has also shown off her fashion inclination with damaged jeans paired with a black bra top and an oversized black blazer and cap for a little easy formal look.
While she has not exactly gotten a fair chance to show off her on-court skills yet, Nika Muhl will surely try to transform her game from UConn. Not to mention, although Caitlin Clark got the better of her as she dropped a three with the No. 1 of Seattle on guard, this was just her first game and would only improve. Back then, she was an ultimate offensive boost for the Huskies. It will be interesting to see if she can do the same here too.
