From dominating on the basketball court to flaunting looks on the red carpet, WNBA’s Angel Reese certainly knows how to grab the attention of the netizens. After making her WNBA preseason debut, the newest star of the Chicago Sky made a stunning appearance at the 2024 Met Gala.
The week has been an important one for the former national champion as the star attended the Met Gala for the first time on her 22nd birthday just two days after playing her first professional game. With her incredible skills as a basketball player, Angel Reese has also made a name in the fashion world obtaining the nickname of ‘Bayou Barbie’ during her college days.
Therefore, fans were excited for her look at one of the world’s biggest fashion events, and now it is safe to say that Reese did not disappoint. The star wore a sparkly mint-green dress, which went perfectly with the event’s “Garden of Time” theme.
