Gabby Williams Prepares for 2026 WNBA All-Star Weekend with Steve Lacy and Wine

Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams was called into the gym during her days off, where guard Kaitlyn Chen and general manager Ohemaa Nyanin informed her she made the 2026 WNBA All-Star team. Williams, who previously played for the Chicago Sky, saw the selection as a team accomplishment. For the weekend, she planned to enjoy Chicago views and a rooftop, but her primary focus was the orange carpet. She does her own makeup, opting for a neutral look with gold eyeshadow. Her pre-game routine includes a glass of wine to calm nerves and a playlist featuring Steve Lacy's new album, Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, and Madonna's Confessions II. Her stylist, Mariah Keopple—a professional hockey player for the Seattle Torrent—designed her outfit: a black resin corset with power-drilled holes and a high-waisted skirt with a train. Williams chose Keopple's own piece, appreciating how it fits athletic builds. She felt confident and cool on the carpet, citing the gloves as a perfect cocktail touch.
