Angel Reese had quite a muted season this year in the WNBA. Playing for the Chicago Sky, Reese failed to make her team shine. However, considering her own performance, the Sky star did show some notable improvements from last year. But with the Sky star, it is not only her performance on the court.
Recently, Sue Bird congratulated Reese after her signature shoes sold out. And now, Lisa Leslie had some more words of praise for the rookie star. Reese has been a popular figure outside of the hardwood, too. She has been attending fashion events as well as collaborating with big brands to drop her exclusive sneaker line. And much like that, Reese has achieved yet another personal milestone.

Reese’s regular-season record looked quite decent. She ended with averages of 14.7 points, 12.6 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game. Unfortunately, all these were not enough to prevent her team from failing to qualify for the playoffs for a second successive time. However, while such an experience surely left a bad taste in Reese’s mouth, the 23-year-old ensured that she shone bright outside of the court too.
In a recent development, the league recognized Reese for her superb fashion choices. She was awarded the 2025 WNBA MVP for LeagueFits. The achievement was posted on social media, and the channel acknowledged Reese for her “confidence, originality, and spice” in dressing. And the good things did not end there. Reese was also added to the All-League first team. Meanwhile, commenting on the same, Los Angeles Sparks’ legend, Leslie, seemed overjoyed for the 23-year-old. She said, “It! @angelreese5 Representing for the Tall Barbies.”
Surely, this was a moment of delight for the Chicago star. However, Reese has been making some decent progress in the fashion world, too. Only recently, Reese became the first pro-athlete to walk Victoria’s Secret runway. And as the WNBA star shines bright, her agent revealed some great plans for the 23-year-old ahead.
