Angel Reese Makes WNBA History as Vogue Revisits Her Fashion Appearances
On Monday, Angel Reese, a forward for the Atlanta Dream, made waves by becoming the youngest player ever in WNBA history to score at least 30 points and grab 15 rebounds in a playoff game. This impressive performance helped her team secure its first Finals victory, evening the series at 1-1, with the Dream heading back to Atlanta for the next match. Reese's journey off the court has been spotlighted by Vogue, showcasing her previous appearances. In 2024, she revealed her intention to enter the WNBA draft through a stylish fashion shoot in the magazine, steering clear of the usual press release. Drawing inspiration from Serena Williams, who retired in Vogue in 2022, Reese, affectionately called "Bayou Barbie" during her LSU days, noted in 2025 that her love for basketball and fashion has always been connected.
