WNBA icon describes Angel Reese in two words at 2024 Olympic Games party

Angel Reese continues to garner attention in her inaugural WNBA season, with one of the sport’s biggest names praising her attire as she made her way to the 2024 Olympic Games’ opening ceremony party in Paris.

The Chicago Sky standout recently confessed that while she exhibits a fiery demeanor on the basketball court, she also enjoys embracing her feminine side off the court. This softer side was on display as she donned a Louis Vuitton dress to the “Prelude to the Olympics” event in France.

The white dress, reminiscent of a tennis player’s outfit, reached her upper thighs and was paired with a brown-patterned neck scarf and matching bag as the 22-year-old made an entrance at the Foundation Louis Vuitton.

The outfit quickly went viral, catching the attention of esteemed peers like Lisa Leslie, a two-time WNBA Finals champion and Finals MVP with the Los Angeles Sparks.

“Cat Walk,” Leslie commented on Instagram, responding to Reese’s post with five fire emojis, as accolades poured in for the 2023 NCAA Women’s Division I basketball champion.

This marks the latest show of support from Leslie, who appears committed to defending the sixth pick of the 2024 WNBA Draft from criticism during her debut season with the Chicago Sky, where she continues to impress both on and off the court.

Reese’s charismatic personality has garnered widespread acclaim, but her performance in the forward position has also been impressive, averaging 13.5 points and 11.9 rebounds per game, positioning her as a strong contender for the title of WNBA Rookie of the Year.

Who is Angel Reese’s next opponent?
