Chicago Sky power forward Angel Reese is undeniably one of the most fashion-conscious players in the WNBA at present. She is, in fact, called Bayou Barbie for how she adds glamour to a game that’s more about power and sweat on the court. But off it, Reese knows how to steal all the attention with her carefully picked outfits for her tunnel walks. Not just outfits — she is also known for her ever-changing hairstyles and, on top of everything, the attitude she possesses that adds to her style.
10 Times Angel Reese proved she's WNBA’s ultimate Barbie
Angel Reese treats the tunnel as her runway, though she has expressed her desire to do a ramp walk at a real fashion show in the future. And every time she appears at a stadium for a basketball game, she makes sure her fashion appearance is already making her fans sit up and take notice.
Her recent pre-game appearances are already setting the buzz with her one-liners. “I am exactly who I think I am,” she wrote with a video of her in a black trench coat, dark shades, and a matching fur scarf covering her entire forehead on her way to a game. Days before, it was a different hairstyle — and even before that, another.

Angel Reese on her love for fashion
The 23-year-old was on the cover of Vogue this year. Opening up about being known for her fashion sense, Angel Reese told the magazine in an interview, “It’s always been both: basketball and fashion. But I was a fashion girlie from young too. I was always in my mom’s closet, putting on her stuff. I liked to carry a purse. Hair done. I wanted to look put together. I still do.”
“I used to watch America’s Next Top Model with Tyra and practice my walk in the living room,” she said, while talking about her love for modeling and fashion since a young age.
Reese recently also walked the red carpet at the MET Gala in a quirky black gown.

Even before she made it to her first Draft, Angel Reese had debuted as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model in its 2023 issue.
