Angel Reese's Met Gala Outfit Draws Quick Reaction From Chicago Sky
Now in her second WNBA season, Reese attended the Met Gala for the second year in a row. This time, she wasn't just walking the bluer carpet—she was also part of the event's celebrity host committee, helping shape the biggest night in fashion.
The 2025 theme, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' inspired by Monica L. Miller's book 'Slaves to Fashion,' was reflected in Reese's outfit choice.
Reese showed up in a custom Thom Browne ensemble that boasted of a two-piece black dress, a crisp white collared shirt and a matching black tie.
The Sky quickly posted their approval on social media, sharing Getty Images of Reese's blue carpet moment.
'Oh absolutely 😍,' they captioned.
While some questioned her absence from the Sky's May 5 practice ahead of their next preseason game, head coach Tyler Marsh was quick to show his support.
'She puts in a ton of work during the season and in the offseason, extra work,' Marsh said. 'She communicated to her teammates that she would be at the Met Gala and as an organization, we're in support of everyone on and off the court. It's a great experience, a great opportunity for her.'

Marsh added that events like this help boost the league's visibility.
'Any time that we can showcase and highlight the personalities of the players of our league, no matter what team they're from, I think it's a good thing for the league,' he added.
Last year, Reese attended her first Met Gala and played in a Sky preseason game less than 24 hours later. This year, the fashion-forward star timed her trip between games, after scoring 15 points and grabbing 10 rebounds in a May 2 preseason win against Brazil.
With another game scheduled for May 6—her 23rd birthday—Reese continues to balance basketball with a growing presence in fashion and media.

Caitlin Clark's teammate calls Fever star's groin injury 'weird'
Caitlin Clark has endured a stop-start sophomore campaign in the WNBA as she deals with nagging injuries that have affected her availability for the Indiana Fever. On May 26, Clark was diagnosed with a left quadriceps strain that cost her five games; a month later, the superstar point guard was ruled out again with a left groin sprain. Clark then returned for four games only to suffer a right groin injury against the Connecticut Sun on July 15; she has not played since, missing All-Star festivities at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis as a result. MORE: Fever's Aliyah Boston shuts down Caitlin Clark narrative In all, Clark has played just 13 games, and the Fever has felt her absence. But Indiana -- winners of three in a row -- has found a way to survive without her deadly shooting or elite playmaking. Entering Friday's game against Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings, the Fever is 15-12, one game behind the Seattle Storm for the fourth-best record in The W. However, Clark already has been ruled out for the Fever's visit to Dallas, and her status going forward is unknown as Indiana prioritizes the 23-year-old's long-term health. What's more, Indiana guard Sophie Cunningham's characterization of the injury as "weird" casts further doubt on Clark's potential return to action. "It's such, like, a weird injury," Cunningham said Thursday on the "Show Me Something" podcast. "She's not in pain all the time. But when you do hurt it you're out for I think they're trying to be like extra cautious so she doesn't kind of have those little setbacks.' Given that Clark is the WNBA's top asset in a year when the players' union is bracing for a work stoppage, the league is no doubt loath to see her miss extensive game time. Yet, rushing Clark back onto the hardwood could have disastrous consequences that fans, players and executives alike will want to avoid.
