“Ready to Chase Another Championship”: A’ja Wilson Remains in Good Spirits After Kelsey Plum’s LV Aces Exit

The Las Vegas Aces have become a powerhouse, and a huge part of that success is the incredible bond between A’ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum. The two have led the team to back-to-back championships, proving just how unstoppable they are together. A’ja Wilson is staying focused, keeping her eyes on the prize and showing she’s ready to take on whatever comes next—whether that’s on the court or beyond.

The Vogue Magazine tweet, “I was thrilled to immerse myself in the fashion world,” highlights the Las Vegas Aces center, offering a glimpse into how A’ja Wilson stole the spotlight at Paris Fashion Week. While the event showcased her style, right now, Wilson’s focus is firmly on the basketball court. “I’ll be spending the next month training and getting ready for my eighth WNBA season,” she shared. “Time to chase another championship!” It’s clear that while the fashion world excites her, her passion for the game remains at the forefront.

A’ja Wilson has always stood out on the court, and now she’s proving she can own the fashion world too. “Paris holds a special place in my heart. I was here a few months ago and won an Olympic gold medal, so coming back brings back great memories,” she shared. But Fashion Week? That added a whole new level of excitement for her.

She spent the week soaking in the shows from designers like KidSuper, Doublet, and Sacai, totally captivated by how designers brought their visions to life on the runway. “It’s an incredible opportunity to witness the creative visions of designers come to life through their clothing and runway presentations,” Wilson said, all while making sure to showcase her own bold sense of style.

With standout looks like a plush fur coat over a structured two-piece set, oversized skirts with chunky boots, and that Sacai oversized fringed blazer, Wilson made sure to let her fashion speak. “Lately, I’ve been gravitating toward bell-bottom wide-legged pants,” she noted. “They’re flattering and really accentuate the length of my legs.”

And while she’s loving her time in fashion, Wilson’s eyes are on the future. “My first signature shoe and apparel collection with Nike drops this spring,” she teased, “and I can’t wait to share it with everyone!” No matter the runway or the court, A’ja is showing us how to shine with style.

A’ja Wilson amid Kelsey Plum’s uncertain future with the Aces

A’ja Wilson has once again shown she’s got the perfect balance of basketball and style, and nothing is slowing her down—especially with her longtime teammate Kelsey Plum officially making her exit from the Las Vegas Aces. The dynamic duo, who led the Aces to back-to-back championships, has been a force to be reckoned with, but now, with Plum joining the Los Angeles Sparks, Wilson is channeling her energy into what’s next.

The Aces had an undeniable chemistry, with players like A’ja, Kelsey, Jackie Young, and Chelsea Gray making them one of the most powerful squads in the league. But with Plum’s departure, the Aces will need to adjust to life without one of their key players, who averaged 17.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 4.2 assists last season.

Plum and Wilson shared more than just the court—they supported each other through personal challenges, like Plum’s heartbreaking divorce, making their bond even more special. Though it’s bittersweet to see Plum move on, Wilson is embracing the change, focusing on her own passions, and getting ready for her next chapter, both in basketball and fashion.

As Plum now heads to the Los Angeles Sparks, Wilson’s focus remains clear. ESPN WNBA reporter Kevin Pelton had speculated that the Golden State Valkyries were a potential landing spot for Plum, but now that she’s settled in L.A., the Sparks are gaining a seasoned star who’ll bring energy and experience to the team.

While the Aces may have lost a key player, Wilson is staying laser-focused on what she can control. Recently, she dazzled at Paris Fashion Week, rocking a full Sacai look and proving once again that she’s just as much of a force in the fashion world as she is on the court.

With Plum’s exit now settled, A’ja Wilson’s star continues to rise—on the runway, in the gym, and wherever she goes. As the WNBA season draws near, she’s ready to embrace the challenges ahead, while showing the world that she can dominate both basketball and fashion with equal passion and grace.
