Angel Reese went old Hollywood at the 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards on Monday in New York. The Chicago Sky player evoked 1950s starlets like Marilyn Monroe in a strapless Simkhai gown featuring a slit skirt and a matching fur coat.
Reese added on black patent leather heels and chunky diamond-encrusted jewelry, including a necklace and rings. She debuted platinum blond tresses, which she styled with curtain bangs. Her makeup included lip gloss and a pop of pink blush.
Like other WNBA stars, Reese has cultivated a high fashion following since going pro. In May, she was a guest at the annual Met Gala, which is widely regarded as fashion’s super bowl. She’s also been dressed by brands such as Diesel and Alexander Wang, displaying her designer “tunnel fits” ahead of the Sky’s games.
The Long Inseam Denim collection includes designs with 33- and 37-inches inseams dedicated for women taller than 5-foot, 10-inches — the industry standard for women’s denim is 30- to 32-inch inseams. Reese is 6-foot, 3-inches tall.
For her Met Gala debut that month, Reese selected a mint green gown by the British label 16Arlington. “I feel beautiful and I feel sexy,” she told WWD. The power forward also celebrated her 22nd birthday at the event.
The 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards will take place at the American Museum of Natural History in New York on Oct. 28, with Cynthia Erivo hosting. Honorees at this year’s ceremony include Coach, Michael Kors, Annie Leibovitz and finally, Erykah Badu, who will receive the coveted Fashion Icon Award.
