Caitlin Clark's biceps and the bigger conversation around women and muscles
Thanks to a strain that's left her sidelined for weeks, all eyes are on Caitlin Clark's quad right now. But it's the Indiana Fever star's arms that had people talking in the days leading up to her second WNBA season. It all started in March, when 23-year-old Clark was photographed cheering on her alma mater, the Iowa Hawkeyes, during the NCAA Big Ten tournament. 'Okkkkk hello arms!' one commenter wrote, adding a flexed bicep emoji in reaction to the point guard's noticeably muscular appearance. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bri Lewerke (@brilewerkephoto) Those muscles were on display when Clark's team photo was released in early May, prompting side-by-side comparisons to her 2024 physique. According to Clark herself, she's been intentionally bulking up since last year. 'I try to put on some weight and I've been working hard in the weight room,' she told reporters in August. That ramped up in the offseason, per the Fever's head athletic performance coach, Sarah Kessler, who told ESPN that Clark was in the weight room four to five times a week. Cue the toned courtside pic that got tongues wagging in March — and a lot of body discourse that not everyone is comfortable with. 'Speculating about women's bodies generally and speculation of women athletes' bodies is not new,' Michelle Manno, a sociologist, associate provost for community enrichment at Northwestern University and the author of Denied: Women, Sports and the Contradictions of Identity, tells Yahoo Life. 'What stands out as new to me in this case is that the speculation is positive. … For the most part, we're seeing people applauding [Clark's] effort to get stronger and gain muscles between seasons.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Caitlin Clark (@caitlinclark22) Indeed, adjectives like 'beautiful' have been used alongside 'jacked' and 'ripped' as commenters weigh in on Clark's muscles. One X user hailed her as having the 'peak female athlete form,' while an Instagram commenter wrote, 'Girl you show off those muscles. You worked hard on those. Lookin' great.' According to Mikala Jamison, author of the newsletter Body Type, those compliments are a sign of evolving standards. 'It's hard to overstate how much conversations about women and their musculature has changed,' she tells Yahoo Life. She references a survey done by writer Leigh Peele in 2009 (which Jamison wrote about in 2022) in which 2,000 women were polled on their views about weightlifting and the attractiveness of muscles. The majority of those surveyed indicated that they didn't like the look of muscles on their own bodies and figured men didn't find it attractive either. A majority also said they'd rather be 'too thin than either too fat or too muscular,' and when asked which female celebrity exemplified the 'muscular/bulky' look, many chose Hilary Swank (43%) and Jessica Biel (36%). 'There was this sense that any shade of muscularity on a woman's body wasn't something that, at least per this survey, was desired by a lot of women. And there are a thousand reasons for that in the culture and in media messaging,' says Jamison. 'But that has definitely changed over the years, and you see that in things like more women strength training regularly than ever before.' A growing interest in lifting weights, eating more protein and paying more attention to the benefits of building muscle has roots in conversations about menopause and aging. However, the reaction to Clark's body in particular seems to be an indication that the positive messaging about stronger bodies could be reaching and influencing younger women as well. The focus on Clark's muscles follows a general shift in gears in terms of how female athletes — and their bodies — are being discussed. 'People were talking about this a lot during the [2024] Olympics with Ilona Maher,' says Jamison, referring to the U.S. women's rugby player who won bronze in Paris last summer. 'She was on the cover of Sports Illustrated and she's not a super-slender, super-skinny woman. She's very muscular.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sports Illustrated Swimsuit (@si_swimsuit) After nabbing the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit digital cover last fall, Maher donned a bikini again to pose for the pages of the magazine's recently released 2025 print issue, which quotes her as saying, 'I hope people see my photos and understand that strength can be so beautiful and so feminine.' The latest issue has won praise for featuring various female athletes, including fellow Olympians Jordan Chiles and Gabby Thomas. 'How different my and many other women's lives would be if these strong bodies were the center of attention when I was growing up,' one fan commented. 'If you see more different types, sizes and shapes of bodies, it gives any person who is seeing those body types an understanding that there are many different ways that your body could look, or maybe that you want your body to look like,' Jamison points out. But even still, who people praise is dependent on certain standards. 'If I think about athletes like Serena Williams or Brittney Griner, the commentary around their bodies throughout the course of their careers has been pretty uniformly negative,' says Manno. 'So when I see what's happening with Caitlin Clark, I have to think that her race and her gender expression' — i.e., being a white, straight woman — 'are really helping her in this moment.' At the end of the day, the beauty standard for any and all women continues to be a tight line to walk, especially for those in sports, according to Manno. 'A lot of women athletes still navigate this very strong tension between wanting to be strong, wanting to do the things that they need to do to excel at their sport and still be accepted societally as looking, quote-unquote, appropriately feminine enough,' she says.

The Best Tunnel Fits From The 2025-'26 WNBA Season: Week 2
It's only week 2 of the WNBA season, and things are starting to settle in. Several teams have picked up their first wins, while a few are still holding on to undefeated records. Rookies are looking more comfortable, not just on the court, but in the tunnels too, where their personal style is starting to take place. As spring fades into summers warmth, we're seeing fewer layers and more skin via cut-outs and cropped pieces. Colors are getting brighter, the use of mixed patterns are becoming more apparent, and the heels are just higher and higher. Below, we've rounded up our favorite tunnel fits from week 2. Vacation may have come early with this two piece cardigan and choice set. This resort style crochet set stands out with the multi colored stitches, and Bell matches this luxe set with these cobalt and black sneakers. Although this look wasn't captured in the tunnel, Kahleah Copper still got to show off her tunnel style courtside while out due to injury. And even though she's not playing, she's still very much in the game. Channeling a mid-aughts NBA coach amid the league's formal dress code era, and she's practically coaching her teammates to a win. The oversized suit, cranberry-striped tie, and loafers is different from what we've seen Copper wear in the past, as she's usually known for her street style, but I'm hoping we see Copper suited up more in the future. Jewell lives up to her name, stepping through the tunnel looking like an absolute gem in this Jacquemus Canadian tuxedo—a sleek, washed, and polished denim suit. With a nod to late-90s or early-aughts NBA fashion, especially with these nylon lensed glasses, this look perfectly captures Jewell's personal style: cool, oversized, and effortlessly elevated. Honestly, can we bring back wearing merch from sports you don't play? While Brittney Sykes may have never picked up a hockey stick, she's still repping for state solidarity as a Mystic. In another oversized look, Sykes rocks a color-blocked hockey jersey, light-wash denim shorts, and a corduroy Washington Capitals hat, showing that you don't have to play the game to wear the gear. The heels keep getting higher, and in this all-white pointed stiletto, Olivia Nelson-Ododa struts in them tall. This Connecticut sun player stands out every time she walks through the tunnel—not because she fades into the fit but because she knows her personal style, and wears it well. And this week, she's wearing a pleather burgundy suit jacket, a crisp white button-up, and a matching skirt. And, of course, no look is complete without coordinating sunglasses. Oops, she did it again: channeling an early-aughts pop icon with this distressed, dirt-washed, pleated, and frayed denim mini skirt. But she doesn't leave it all to chance and little imagination. Yes, she pairs the ultra-mini skirt with an even smaller button-up top, but she balances the proportions perfectly with a dark grey trench coat, mixing business with play — its what she does well. When it comes to fashion, Isabelle Harrison does simple and feminine religiously. In the tunnel, she pairs this white and black collared button down pleated dress with calf-high heeled leather boots. She plays into classic New York style with large thin hoops, truly putting on for her new city. These might just be the highest heels in the tunnel so far, and of course, they're worn by none other than Rickea Jackson. Known for playing with silhouettes, especially with twists on office wear and cut-outs, this two-piece deconstructed suit takes the crown as one of her best "office siren" fits to date. This game wasn't in New York, but the Timbs' still made an appearance. Nalyssa Smith, known for her coveted tunnel style, stayed true to her playful streetwear roots in a Mnml Fleur De Lis multicolor jacket, white ribbed tank, and long rivet-pleated shorts. A'ja Wilson is a'll business, no play in this pinstriped suit jacket and matching ruffled shorts. This isn't her first time sporting pinstripes, and it definitely won't be the last. She's previously donned the look during her jersey retirement and again at Paris Fashion Week with Nike. This time, though, she leans into a more relaxed silhouette, skipping the undershirt and pairing the suiting with sculptural black leather, knee-high heeled boots. The finishing touches? The LV Aces cap and LV Monogram tote.
