The WNBA All-Star Weekend kicked off in pure style as athletes made a bold statement on the orange carpet in Indianapolis. Held at the convention center, Thursday evening wasn’t just a prelude to the weekend’s sporting action—it was a celebration of self-expression, individuality, and empowerment through fashion.
The moment the athletes stepped out, the crowd erupted with cheers. Leading the style parade was Los Angeles Sparks guard Kelsey Plum, who looked radiant in a shimmering red dress and heels, sharing that the whole experience was “a lot of fun.”
Joining her in the spotlight was Aliyah Boston of the Indiana Fever, stunning in a dark-toned gown that reflected elegance and power. “It adds something special for the fans,” she said, smiling.
Chicago Sky’s breakout star Angel Reese brought drama in a leopard-print coat and sunglasses, returning after missing last year’s event. She wasn’t the only one turning heads—A’ja Wilson, the Las Vegas Aces’ reigning MVP, stepped out in a maroon Di Petsa gown with a daring slit, paired with Saint Laurent gold earrings that glimmered under the lights.
Not all players chose glitz—Natasha Cloud of the New York Liberty kept things grounded with a sharp pants-and-shirt combo, revealing she was a bit nervous about the walk. “I’m just here to enjoy the moment and have fun,” she said.
Minnesota Lynx star and mom Napheesa Collier looked radiant but playfully admitted she may have opted for a different outfit had she realized there’d be so many children watching.
Fashion has always had a presence in the WNBA, with “Tunnel Fits” becoming a staple of athlete branding. But Thursday night pushed that to the forefront, making the orange carpet a canvas for empowerment, pride, and style.
With the perfect blend of fierce fashion and elite athleticism, the WNBA stars proved that confidence isn’t just for the court—it shines just as bright off it.
