Angel Reese is never one to shy away from making a statement, and her recent night out was no exception. The LSU basketball star turned heads with her bold party outfit, which, at first glance, seemed like a playful nod to her status as a strong, influential figure, or “mother,” as the phrase goes. But as the night wore on, Reese revealed an unexpected NSFW twist to her ensemble.
Reese stepped out in downtown Chicago to celebrate the 22nd birthday of her friend Nabeela Idris, who shared photos of their night together on her Instagram Story. Reese, too, gave her followers a glimpse into the festivities via her own Instagram Story.
Early in the evening, Reese was spotted wearing a shirt with “MOTHER” printed in bold red letters across the front, a fitting tribute to her self-assured persona.
However, it wasn’t until later that Reese revealed the full message on her shirt. When she turned around, the back of her outfit had “F*CKER” written across the lower portion, adding a cheeky and explicit twist to her look that left fans buzzing.

Reese and Idris weren’t the only ones out for a good time—another close friend, Elinor Tedros, joined the celebration. The trio partied it up in downtown Chicago, enjoying dinner at a local steakhouse. Tedros shared photos of their indulgent meal, which featured a spread of steak, lobster, french fries, asparagus, and more. The night was filled with laughter, food, and celebration, with Reese at the center of the fun.
Though Reese proudly sported the “MOTHER” label, she made it clear in a playful social media caption that she’s not an actual mother—yet. “No kids but still MOTHER,” she wrote, underscoring the term’s use as a badge of strength and influence rather than its literal meaning.
While Reese may not have children, she’s taken on a mentorship role for the younger generation of basketball stars. Just last month, Reese sent a swag-filled care package to Kaavia Union-Wade, the 5-year-old daughter of NBA legend Dwyane Wade and actress Gabrielle Union, showing her support for the next wave of basketball talent.
Reese has continued to grow her brand off the court as well, including hosting her podcast, Unapologetically Angel. In a recent episode, she brought on Dwyane Wade as a guest, where he offered advice to the rising basketball star as she prepares for her second year in the WNBA. Wade’s main piece of wisdom? Consistency is key, a principle that Reese seems to embody both on and off the court.
From her bold fashion choices to her growing presence as a leader in the sports world, Angel Reese continues to carve out her place as a powerful figure in basketball and beyond.
Whether she’s making fashion statements or sending motivational messages to the next generation, Reese is unapologetically herself, and she’s only just getting started.
