WNBA and Chicago Sky star Angel Reese has made a name for herself both on the basketball court as well as in show business. She has built her brand over the offseason to become one of the most popular female athletes.

She utilized her podcast and appeared on comedy shows as part of her brand-building methods. But what really helped her take off were the appearances at fashion shows. Some of them, such as the Victoria’s Secret show, were among the highlights of her season.

She built on that by appearing trackside at the Abu Dhabi Formula 1 race, and her constant mingling with celebrities helped her land monster endorsement deals. But she has made it clear that her end goal is to become a fashion icon.

Considering how she wants to make a name in fashion as a star athlete, she returned to feature at this year’s Met Gala. Last time around, she wore a light green 16Arlington gown by Marco Capaldo, which sent basketball fans into a frenzy.

This year, she decided to go dark. She wore a lace-up two-piece black dress with a striking white collar designed by Thom Browne to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. As a member of the host committee, she had to look her best, and along with the dress, the WNBA rebounding phenom added a touch of glitter.

Through her Instagram page, she shared a post from Haute Living, which detailed that Reese sported 107 carats worth of diamonds from Graff High Jewellery. A pair of earrings, two rings, and a bracelet make up those diamonds, bringing a contrast to the black dress she wore.

Considering she was at the Met Gala, there was no way Angel Reese was going to miss a chance to mix with celebrities. The Gala is a culmination of exquisite style and substance. The same goes for the food they serve.

Reese met up with friend and rapper Megan Thee Stallion, and the two sat down to try out some of the delectable treats on offer. The rapper shared a video taken on her Hottie Cam, which shows the two stars trying out various forms of snacks.

They ate everything from cornbread caviar to lobster rolls and several others. Stallion liked some of the dishes, but Reese kept insisting that she liked the cornbread caviar the most. Once they were done tasting all the options that were being served, the rapper moved on to film with other celebrities.

Reese juggling her off-court life with basketball

Angel Reese was in New York for the Met Gala. That meant she would have to rush back to Chicago after the event. The Sky has a preseason game scheduled against the Minnesota Lynx the very next day. Considering how her team is looking to build chemistry, there is no chance her head coach would grant her a day off.

Therefore, she was probably on a busy schedule. Finish practice, head out to New York, celebrate a pre-birthday party, then get ready for the Gala. Combined with the trip to Louisiana for their first preseason game, that means the forward was traveling a lot.

At most, she might have missed one practice with her team. Considering how important a player she has become, she might have gotten a pass. The same would have been the case for NBA stars, but most of the regulars are battling in the playoffs.

Had this been during her regular season, it is unlikely that she would miss practice. The Maryland native is taking her game seriously after being trolled continuously in her rookie season. She is on a mission to prove everyone wrong, both in basketball as well as fashion.
