Sophie Cunningham has been turning heads all season, both on and off the court, with her standout fashion choices. The Phoenix Mercury guard has become known for her bold and stylish looks, whether she’s honoring basketball legends or showing off her sun-kissed skin.
Cunningham’s fashion game has been nothing short of versatile. From paying tribute to Kobe Bryant with a leggy outfit, to strutting through the pregame tunnel in a stunning dress that revealed her tan lines, she’s also rocked the classic Daisy Dukes and cowboy boots look. At 28 years old, the basketball star is not just making waves on the court but in the world of fashion too.
Despite some online criticism claiming she’s showing too much skin, Cunningham has embraced her bold style. She even revealed that one of her most talked-about outfits—a tan line-revealing dress that some dubbed the “Love Island” look—was actually approved by none other than her mom.

In an interview with Fox News, Cunningham laughed off the controversy. “I was just talking to someone, and I was like, ‘Actually, my mom picked that outfit out,’” she shared. “Everyone’s in my comments like, ‘Oh, your parents—’ and I’m like, actually, that was my mom’s doing.” She added that she had no idea the outfit would stir such a reaction.
Fast forward to Friday night, and Sophie was back at it, showing off her tan lines once again. This time, she swapped the dress for a tiny top and jeans, and her mom was quite literally in the loop, chatting with Sophie on the phone while she flaunted her fit. Of course, it’s safe to say this look was also mom-approved.
Cunningham’s confidence and style extend beyond her fashion sense. She’s been a key player for the Mercury, consistently averaging 8.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game. With the team clinching a playoff spot, there’s no doubt that Sophie will continue to bring her A-game, both in her performances and her wardrobe choices, as the season wraps up.
Whether she’s making plays on the court or turning heads with her fashion, Sophie Cunningham is proving she’s not afraid to make a statement in every aspect of her life.
