Paige Bueckers has made 2024 a year to remember, both on and off the court. The UConn Huskies All-American guard not only dazzled in her final college basketball season but also made waves in the world of fashion and personal milestones.
On the court, the 23-year-old senior has been a dominant force, leading the Huskies with an impressive 20.9 points per game, 4.5 rebounds, and 3.8 assists.
Her stellar performances have cemented her status as the consensus No. 1 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, with the Dallas Wings widely expected to secure her transformative talent.
Off the court, Bueckers had an offseason to remember, solidifying her status as a fashion icon. During New York Fashion Week in the fall, she stunned onlookers with bold, statement-making outfits, including a show-stopping “butterfly” ensemble and a sleek, edgy “Spider-Woman” look that turned heads. Later, she released her highly anticipated UConn glam photos, offering fans a glimpse of her striking style as the season approached.
Bueckers wrapped up the year with a reflective and heartfelt Instagram post, sharing highlights of her growth and accomplishments. Alongside a series of her chic, grown-up looks, she expressed gratitude for her blessings, writing:
“Thank you God for an amazing year, ‘Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!’ Psalm 107:1.”
