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.
