Angel Reese attended the 2025 Met Gala after her famed on-court excellence for the Chicago Sky, in which she broke upstart records with 15 straight double-doubles and led the league in rebounds before making a pit stop at Hollywood’s most coveted fashion night in a bespoke Thom Browne design—the 2025 Met Gala.
Fans and critics everywhere went wild on social media, praising her evolution from hardwood dynamo to red-carpet style icon. Reese’s invite was her second Met Gala and her first as a host committee member—a position that puts her among cultural giants beyond the sporting world.
Angel Reese’s Stunning Entrance at the 2025 Met Gala
Angel Reese‘s reputation as a rebounding machine and persistent interior scorer followed her to New York. During her unprecedented freshman year, she recorded double-doubles in 26 of 34 games, including a record-breaking 15 consecutive games with at least 10 points and 10 rebounds.
She averaged 13.9 points and led the WNBA with 13.1 rebounds per game, the first rookie to maintain such figures through a full season. Her record-breaking performance passed Candace Parker and cemented her as one of the league’s most powerful young stars.
When the 2025 preseason got underway, Reese made her return to LSU for an exhibition game, logging a 15-point, 10-rebound double-double in 17 minutes—evidence she is just as forceful as ever, trading sneakers for stilettos.
The 23-year-old Chicago Sky forward dazzled onlookers with her debut at the 2025 Met Gala on May 5, holding center stage as an athlete and style maven. Embracing the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” the Bayou Barbie joined the host committee, alongside names like Simone Biles and Sha’Carri Richardson.
Reese’s ensemble, designed by Thom Browne, fused masculine tailoring with feminine allure in a two-piece construction: a sharply tailored crop jacket and matching high-waisted skirt. The structured silhouette featured a lace-up corset that teased a hint of midriff before flowing into a dramatic cascading train—a nod to classic ballroom glamour.
Complementing the bold cut, Reese debuted a perfectly flicked bob, adding vintage flair to the modern ensemble. She accessorized with statement Graff jewelry—oversized diamond earrings and a tennis bracelet—that caught the light with every turn.
In interviews after the event, Reese explained that her look was meant to be “Versatile. Chic. Classy. Tailored,” embodying the theme’s spirit of personal expression through precision.
Social Media Buzz and Fan Flare
Within minutes of her arrival, social media channels exploded. The official Chicago Sky account reposted Getty Images of Reese on the blue carpet, captioning them “Oh absolutely,” accompanied by a string of heart-eye emojis.
On Twitter and Instagram, fans flooded threads with praise: “Absolutely stunning.” Another admirer wrote, “God, I just wanna take the time out to appreciate your work.”
Fashion enthusiasts applauded her seamless blend of structure and style. One wrote, “Met Gala may not be my thing but DANG she looks 🔥🔥🔥”
One more admirer chimed in, “Angel is exactly who she thinks she is,” while another echoed, “Loved to see it,” witnessing Reese’s second Met Gala walk down the red carpet walk.
Chicago Sky Aims To Soar High This Season
As the Chicago Sky gear up for their season opener on May 17 against Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever, Reese will swap her couture for court uniforms. With endorsement deals and editorial spreads already in her portfolio—and a signature shoe rumored for release in 2026—Angel Reese is poised to dominate both arenas.
Angel Reese’s dual identity as an elite athlete and emerging fashion force reflects a broader shift that sports stars are no longer confined to post-game pressers and sponsorship shoots—they’re defining trends on world stages.
