Is A’ja Wilson the true face of the WNBA, both on the court and the red carpet?

Seems like the WNBA is on its A-game when it comes to fashion as the season wraps up. The rookie sensation Angel Reese has always hit the headlines for her stylish choices, but this time, it’s another star. However, that comes after the Bayou Barbie took things to a new level at the CFDA Awards 2024, practically being unrecognizable.

Now, just a day later, 2024 MVP A’ja Wilson walked the carpet at the WSJ Mnagazine Innovator Awards, and let us tell you, she nailed the look. Wearing a striking black dress with unique white detailing, the Las Vegas star was serving. Sure, she is a two-time WNBA Champion, staple WNBA All-Star and two-time Olympic medallist.

But along with that, she has never disappointed her fans with her style. Her recent hit was the Melitta Baumeister green denim ensemble during the pregame before LV Aces hosted Dallas Wings. And you know what? Her on-court style is as iconic as this. 

The 6x WNBA All-Star was the one who started ‘one-leg sleeve’ fashion trend. Since then, 24 stars, including DiJonai Carrington, Rickea Jackson, Angel Reese, and more have embraced this bold style. Although the veterans are no less, the Gen-Z stars are always a step ahead. 

When it comes to fashion, it’s safe to say that the Chicago Sky rookie is leading the march. At the CFDA, she made quite the entrance, flaunting a stunning ash-blonde hair color that turned heads left and right. She perfectly matched it with her all-white outfit. The 22-year-old went for a chic strapless gown with a split hem. To amp up the look, she threw on a matching white fur coat and some strappy black heels. In the trendy ‘old money aesthetic’ aesthetic, she surely stole the show.

Just when the internet was buzzing with praise for Reese, the Aces star caught everyone’s attention as she rocked the award show on October 29, 2024.
