Breanna Stewart had the time of her life during the New York Liberty’s championship parade, celebrating in style after a hard-fought WNBA Finals. Despite the grueling series, Stewart’s journey to the title was more than worth it, and one iconic photo captured the joy and triumph of the moment.
Stewart, affectionately known as “Stewie,” was undoubtedly the star of the celebration. The day started off with a hilarious touch, thanks to her wife, Marta Xargay, who sported a custom parade shirt featuring a beaming Stewie holding an oversized wine glass. The playful shirt set the tone for what would be an unforgettable day.
Adding to the fun, Stewie took to Twitter before the parade with a lighthearted request, asking if someone could bring her a bottle of wine.
In true New York fashion, a fan delivered. Stewie, always up for a good laugh, gratefully accepted the bottle as the parade rolled on.

However, the highlight of the celebration came when Stewart shared an epic mid-parade photo on her social media. In the image, Stewie is sitting on a float, exuding pure championship swagger.

The scene perfectly captured the mood of the day—calm, cool, and celebratory. It was the ultimate moment of relaxation and joy after months of hard work and determination.
Fans and teammates flooded social media with praise for the image, calling it “cold” in the best way possible. It was a perfect encapsulation of Stewart’s journey to the top and her ability to enjoy the moment after leading New York to their historic title.
The photo, full of personality and victory, became an instant classic. Stewie’s celebratory flair not only marked her as a champion on the court but also as the queen of championship parades.
It was a perfect 10/10 moment that will be remembered as part of the Liberty’s historic first championship.
