Angel Reese is back in full “Chi Barbie” mode and embracing her offseason in style. The Chicago Sky All-Star recently ditched the wrist brace she’d been sporting for a month following season-ending wrist surgery, and she wasted no time showing off her healthy hand—and some serious fashion. The 22-year-old forward celebrated the brace removal by getting an extravagant manicure, featuring next-level nails that she proudly displayed in a stunning selfie.
Reese’s jaw-dropping outfit in the photo, which accentuated her curvy figure, had fans buzzing on social media.
Reese took her fresh look to the United Center in Chicago for a live taping of Nick Cannon’s Wild ‘n Out, where she was a special guest. With her style and confidence, she turned heads and stole the spotlight during the show, embodying her playful and bold persona.
As always, Reese was having a great time, and video clips shared from the event captured her enjoying the evening to the fullest.

Despite being sidelined for the rest of the WNBA season, Reese has been anything but low-key during her recovery. Even with the brace on, she was spotted at several NFL games, including showing up in full “Baltimore Barbie” mode to support her beloved Ravens.
Reese also rocked a retired Bears jersey at a Chicago game, danced her way through public appearances, and even hit the stage for a fun moment with Usher, all while maintaining her signature style. She’s proven that not even a brace could stop her from living her best life.
Now that the brace is off, Reese playfully noted that she no longer has to hide her wrist behind designer bags in every photo. With her wrist fully healed, she’s embracing her offseason and the chance to express herself through fashion and fun outings.
On the court, Reese had an impressive rookie season, finishing with a double-double average of 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds per game. While her season ended prematurely due to injury, she’s expected to come back strong.
Reese still has a few months of recovery and relaxation before she reunites with her WNBA peers for the new Unrivaled league, set to kick off in January in Miami.
For now, “Chi Barbie” is enjoying her break, making waves both on social media and in the fashion world, and keeping the fun going off the court. One fan on social media summed it up perfectly: “Can you please do the halftime show?”
With her star continuing to rise, Angel Reese is proving that she can steal the show on and off the basketball court.
