The Best Tunnel Fits From The 2025-'26 WNBA Season: All Star Weekend

Get premium, high resolution news photos at Getty Images The time has finally come—when players from across the league, selected through a fan-driven voting system, unite as the newly crowned All Stars. All-Star Weekend feels a bit like making it to the final rounds of Love Island: you've been voted a fan favorite, there's a prize (well, bragging rights), and instead of romantic challenges, the best duos and trios face off in non-traditional basketball scrimmage. But the main event isn't just the game. The weekend is packed with fireside chats, 3x3 scrimmages, skill challenges, and the always iconic 3-point contest. This year was a bit different, as the main event was pushed over for a whole lot of partying — as seen on Studbudz's live stream. And thanks to the them, many online are saying, 'Studbudz's 72 hour stream has somehow revolutionized sports content [through the]This year, the WNBA brought back WNBA Live—a convention packed with pop-ups and experiences where fans could meet players, shop merch, and win tickets to the game. Alongside the festivities, a seemingly ubiquitous conversation about WNBA salaries also loomed over Indiana and all the weekends' happenings. All-Star Weekend happened to coincide with the period when players, through CBA meetings, were negotiating their contracts,, and more importantly, their pay. For some time, the WNBA has faced a stark pay gap compared to its NBA counterpart. Now, players are advocating for a livable wage and equity that reflects the league's growth. So, it would be remiss not to highlight a favorite look, this time not from the tunnel, but from the Clark wearing a "pay us what you owe us shirt" Wearing black-and-white t-shirts that read: 'Pay us what you owe us.

Leather jackets may not scream summer, but they never really go out of season. Plum opts for a Loewe leather bomber, complete with an oversized belt buckle that cinches the waist just right. She pairs it with relaxed khakis and the ever-iconic Loewe Puzzle bag in beige. The finishing touch: Sleek, all-black wraparound sunglasses—perfect for her Matrix-style entrance.

From streaming every behind-the-scenes moment on Studbudz, partying with just about everyone in the league—including Commissioner Cathy Engelbert—getting the dub' at the All-Star Game, and still finding time to throw on a fit. Williams showed up in a custom, newly dropped Studbudz tracksuit in light pink, perfectly matching her freshly dyed hair. Hiedeman, the other half of Studbudz, opted for a custom Playasociety 'Studbudz' pullover, futuristic Givenchy sunglasses, distressed jeans, and Jordan 5s. But the standout detail?

She finishes the look with fine-lined Miu Miu glasses and, controversially, a brown Louis Vuitton bag, but if Angel Reese wants to wear black and brown, Angel Reese can wear black and brown.

She pairs it with a black leather fold-over purse for a clean, pulled-together finish. Kayla Thornton of the Golden State Valkyries poses prior to the 2025 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game at ...

So it makes perfect sense that she would double down on it for All-Star Weekend. Out of the Tunnel, there were too many looks shown by players who weren't All-Stars and it'd be almost remissed to not show them off. So, after the 3-point contest, straight from the hardwood, we piled together our best outfits.

Toronto council strengthens oversight of major events after watchdog flags potential FIFA risks
Toronto council has agreed to impose stronger oversight over decisions to host major events, after a municipal watchdog found that a lack of transparency around the city's bid to stage the 2026 FIFA World Cup could have exposed it to significant risks. In a report presented to council on Wednesday , auditor general Tara Anderson examined council's February 2018 decision that authorized the city manager to sign up for the bid launched by Canada, the U.S. and Mexico to host the international soccer tournament. Toronto is scheduled to host six games starting June 12, 2026. Anderson found that while council made joining the bid conditional on the federal and provincial governments pledging to share hosting costs, the city didn't get those commitments before the March 2018 deadline to join. Instead, soon after the council vote staff signed an agreement with Canada Soccer to withdraw from hosting duties if Toronto didn't get funding guarantees from the other governments by June 2020. The agreement wasn't made public at the time, and was first reported by Star last year . City staff didn't report back to council on the World Cup plans until March 2022, four years after council's 2018 decision. The update didn't provide details of the withdrawal agreement — which was extended 'multiple times,' the auditor found — or explain how staff had mitigated risks related to the lack of intergovernmental funding, which at the time the city had still not nailed down. The auditor general found staff should have reported to council earlier about the conditions for pulling out of the bid, which would have allowed councillors 'to make an informed decision to continue (to pursue hosting rights) or withdraw.' The watchdog also noted that the initial estimate staff provided to council in 2018 pegged hosting costs at between $30 million and $45 million, a figure that didn't include the price of security, which staff said at the time was impossible to predict so far before the tournament. Toronto's overall hosting costs have now risen to $380 million, with the city responsible for almost $180 million. In May 2024, the federal government pledged $104 million, and while Ontario announced in February 2024 it had conditionally committed $97 million, negotiations are ongoing over how Queen's Park's contribution will be allocated. Anderson concluded that in future, staff should include all costs that could fall under the city's responsibility in early estimates to ensure 'city council has all relevant information to make an informed decision.' 'City council's limited visibility into the agreement terms, combined with staff not providing timely updates, could have left the city exposed to potential financial, operational, and reputational risk,' the report concluded. 'It is important that when council decides to delegate authority, that staff still appropriately report back to update council in a timely manner.' In a politically charged discussion before the vote on Anderson's report, councillors quizzed the city integrity commissioner over an investigation by his predecessor into former mayor John Tory. Under questions from Coun. Paula Fletcher (Ward 14, Toronto-Danforth) and others, Paul Muldoon recounted how the October 2023 report from then commissioner Jonathan Batty found Tory broke ethics rules when he voted in 2022 to advance Toronto's World Cup plans, which are being executed in partnership with Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (MLSE). At the time, Tory was in a relationship with a woman that began while she was a staffer in his office, and continued when she took a job at MLSE, where she worked on the World Cup file. Tory resigned over the relationship in February 202 3, shortly after it was revealed by the Star. According to sources, he is considering running for mayor again next year, and polls suggest he would be the biggest threat to Mayor Olivia Chow. Fletcher said that while the World Cup will be fun for the city, Toronto is being left with a '$400 million hangover' in hosting costs. Because of the lack of rigorous oversight, 'we're left wondering (whether) MLSE got a really great deal for FIFA, and maybe we didn't get the best deal for FIFA,' said Fletcher, who sits on Chow's executive committee. 'We need to be careful and squeaky clean in this city when we're making these very big financial decisions,' she said. In response to concerns about rising costs, Chow had instituted a new council governance structure for the tournament in March 2024 , which Anderson determined had strengthened oversight. The auditor's report made seven recommendations intended to improve guidelines for future international events — such as developing policies to ensure council is informed of major changes to projects delegated to staff, and drafting principles for bidding on major events, including risk assessments — each of which council either approved or enhanced.

Will Caitlin Clark play tomorrow? Indiana Fever update injury status
Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark continues to battle the injury bug in 2025. A right groin injury has sidelined Clark for each of the Fever's past two contests and for the 3-Point Contest and WNBA All-Star Game. In its latest injury update, the Fever revealed that Clark has been officially ruled out of Thursday night's contest against the Las Vegas Aces. Clark's absence against the Aces will mark her 12th regular season game that she's missed due to injury in 2025. Including the WNBA Commissioner's Cup final against Minnesota, it's now 13 games that Clark has been sidelined with injury. Earlier this season, Clark had separate lengthy absences as she worked to recover from left quadriceps and left groin injuries. The 6-foot Fever guard missed five games from May 28-June 10 with a left quadriceps injury. Clark missed five more games with a left groin injury from June 26-July 5. The second-year pro's right groin injury sidelined her for the final game before the WNBA All-Star break and now for each of the first two contests after the break. Fever head coach Stephanie White said on Tuesday that there's no timeline for Clark to return. White also revealed that Clark met with another doctor on Tuesday morning. "Yeah, I mean, certainly unfortunate and I feel like there's been quite a few injuries over the course of the beginning of the season for quite a few people... "I mean, I'm not going to say I've just been getting around-the-clock treatment. I've been still trying to enjoy this weekend, having a balance of that at the same time, and soaking all of this in. Once tomorrow comes around, we'll completely shift my focus to getting as healthy as possible. Just prioritizing that (recovery), but also having a good time has been important for myself too," Clark said on Saturday before the WNBA All-Star Game as she updated her injury recovery. Clark is averaging 16.5 points, 8.8 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game on 36.7% field goal shooting and 27.9% 3-point accuracy.
