Angel Reese may be sidelined for the rest of the WNBA season due to a wrist injury, but her fashion game is as strong as ever. The Chicago Sky rookie, who has quickly become known for both her on-court dominance and off-court style, announced on social media that she had to undergo surgery to repair a small break in her wrist. Despite being unable to play, Reese has fully embraced her role as a cheerleader on the sidelines, even sipping Gatorade through a straw while sporting her signature looks.
The Chicago Sky have been fighting to secure a playoff spot, but their recent 93-88 loss to the Phoenix Mercury has made the road to the postseason even tougher. However, Reese, affectionately known as “Chi-Town Barbie,” has kept her spirits high, continuing to bring her signature fashion flair to the bench.
At just 22 years old, Reese has already built a reputation as a fashion icon in the WNBA. She recently re-shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) that gushed over her courtside style with the caption, “Angel looks beautiful.” Reese proudly retweeted the compliment, affirming her love for her “face carddddd,” a playful nod to her confidence in her appearance.

In addition to her sideline presence, Reese has kept herself busy with other ventures. She recently launched her own podcast, Unapologetically Angel, where she discusses everything from basketball to her life outside of the game. As she recovers from her injury, Reese is already planning her comeback, with an eye on the new 3-on-3 league, Unrivaled, which is set to launch in January 2025.
Known for being a double-double machine on the court, Reese has been sharing plenty of selfies showcasing her evolving style while wearing a cast. Her outfits have understandably leaned more casual post-surgery, but her ability to stay chic hasn’t gone unnoticed. As “305 Barbie,” her nickname for her role in the Unrivaled league, Reese continues to exude confidence in her toned-down looks, proving that even with an injury, she can maintain her fashion-forward edge.
As she cheers on her teammates from the sidelines, Angel Reese remains a key figure in the WNBA, not just for her basketball skills but for her ability to stay connected with fans through her style and personality.
While her season may be over, her influence both on and off the court shows no signs of slowing down.
