Angel Reese is gearing up for her second WNBA season with the Chicago Sky, but before diving into the grind, she took some time off to celebrate her 23rd birthday.
While her official birthday isn’t until Tuesday, May 6, Reese started the festivities early, showing off her celebratory vibes to fans through a couple of Instagram stories over the weekend.
Angel Reese Celebrates Birthday in Style With Show-Stopping Look
Reese’s social media followers were treated to a glimpse of her stunning birthday outfit as she shared her Saturday night celebrations. The WNBA All-Star looked radiant in a bright red halter dress with wave-like cut lines.
The dress was the perfect fit for a fun night of celebrating, and fans couldn’t help but gush over her fashionable look in the comments.
But the real moment came in a video she posted while surrounded by friends. The party was in full swing as people sang “Happy Birthday” in the background, but Reese’s playful dance moves caught everyone’s attention.
Reese even had a pink cake with a Barbie, representing her nickname ‘Bayou Barbie’.
Reese’s 2024 rookie season with the Sky was just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting career. She led the team and earned a WNBA All-Star selection—no small feat for a first-year player.
But she is not just known for her skills on the court. With over 4.9 million Instagram followers and nearly 700,000 on X, Reese has established herself as a social media powerhouse too.
Reese Kicks Off Birthday Weekend with a Big Game and Bigger Vibes
Reese’s birthday celebrations didn’t just begin with the red dress and cake—they technically started on the hardwood. On Friday night (May 2), during the Sky’s preseason game in Baton Rouge, she put on a show that felt more like a homecoming celebration. The crowd got a full dose of her energy and confidence.
In just 16 minutes of action, the second-year forward delivered 15 points, 10 rebounds, two steals, and one slick assist that stole the show. Reese lobbed a pass halfway up the court to teammate Rachel Banham, drawing loud cheers from the crowd.
She also shot 4-of-7 from the field, helping Chicago cruise past Brazil’s National Team in an 89-62 win. It was the kind of early statement that said, loud and clear, “Angel Reese is ready for Year 2.”
With her birthday and more preseason events lined up, one can expect more celebratory posts from Reese.
What a joke.
