These players are ballers on the court and the orange carpet!
While we’re normally focused on their performance on the court — and occasionally their love lives — during this year’s WNBA Draft we followed all of the breaking news but also kept our eyes glued to the fab fits the ladies were pulling off on the red carpet.
The Dallas Wings had the first pick last night and went with Paige Bueckers, who took home the Natty this year, but star players Dominique Malonga, Kiki Iriafen, Sonia Citron, Aneesah Morrow, and Shyanne Sellers were all picked early too.
And while they may be stuck wearing uniforms most of the time, these WNBA rookies know how to put a look together. Boring business-causal draft ensembles are a thing of the past, now these top-of-their-game athletes are rocking fashion that would be a hit on any red carpet.
Last year Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark, Daisha Fair, and Rickea Jackson slayed at the WNBA Draft ’24, but not to be outdone, the rookie class of 2025 was serving looks.
We know who dominates on the court, but who wowed us with their fashion sense last night?
