publication · 2026-04-08

WNBA star Angel Reese debuted a vintage-inspired curly pixie haircut while teasing a new Victoria's Secret campaign in New York City on Tuesday. Hairstylist Dionte Gray, known as Arrogant Tae, crafted the 1920s-layered look, which Reese referenced as "Betty Boo" on Instagram. Stylists Matthew and Reginald Reisman, collectively The Reismans, complemented the aesthetic with a houndstooth blazer by designer LaQuan Smith. Makeup artist Latisha Chancey applied bold brows and prominent light-pink blush, marking a reunion after their collaboration for Reese's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show debut in 2025. In a behind-the-scenes video on the brand's Instagram, Reese expressed, "I really manifested this," reflecting her long-standing passion for fashion and beauty. She recalled to Vogue her childhood habit of raiding her mother's closet to look put together, a sentiment she maintains. The style transformation coincides with her upcoming move to the Atlanta Dream, following news of her trade from the Chicago Sky on Monday, April 6, signaling a new era in her career and personal style.
