WNBA star Cameron Brink poses for stunning new cover shoot alongside other glamorous athletes

WNBA star Cameron Brink led a star-studded lineup of female athletes redefining strength in women’s sports. 

The Los Angeles Sparks forward showed off her own athletic and powerful physique as she posed for The Strength Issue, a first-of-its-kind editorial project redefining how strength is seen in women’s sports. 

Aveeno and TOGETHXR partnered to launch the issue, which also features prima ballerina Misty Copeland, swimmer Ali Truwit and soccer star Sophia Wilson. 

Brink was captured dribbling a basketball in an eye-catching black mini dress and knee-high heeled boots, adding a sophisticated element to the look with a pair of square-framed glasses. 

The athletes opened up on how they choose to define strength from recovery and reinvention to motherhood and elite performance.

Brink, whose young WNBA career has already been hit by injury, said her strength lies in ‘poise, conviction, and self-respect.’

She also maintained that femininity deserves its place in women’s sports, rejecting the notion that it affects a player’s commitment to their game. 

‘When people see my femininity, they question my focus,’ she told the issue.

Brink suffered a season-ending ACL tear during her rookie season in 2024, but made a triumphant return to the court last year. 

The 24-year-old averaged 5.1 points and 4.3 rebounds per game throughout the 2025 WNBA season. 

The six-foot-four star has also become known for her eye-catching ‘tunnel fits,’ pairing her flair for fashion with gamedays. 

Copeland, the first Black principal dancer in the 75-year history of the prestigious American Ballet Theatre, also took center stage in the issue. 

The ballerina, who retired last fall, was pictured posing on pointe, looking stunning in a sienna color silk gown. 

Copeland pulled the flowing skirt to one side, showing off her incredible toned legs.  

Ballerina Misty Copeland also featured in the issue, which is a project launched by Aveeno and TOGETHXR

The 43-year-old famously became the first African American female principal dancer at the ABT in 2015.

In her historic career on the stage, the Kansas City native challenged the stereotype of what a ballerina should look like. 

Similarly to Brink, Copeland has also battled through her fair share of injuries. She has endured tibia stress fractures and, more recently, a hip replacement. 

USWNT star Wilson, one of the most recognizable faces in women’s soccer, was captured kicking a soccer ball as her long flowing locks fanned out behind her. 

The 25-year-old cut a sleek figure in a navy halter-neck dress, knee high socks in a matching color and black stilettos. 

The Portland Thorns attacker did not play at all in 2025 as she was on maternity leave, giving birth to daughter Gianna in September.

American Paralympian Truwit rounded out the quartet, wowing on her own cover in nothing but a chocolate brown leotard and beige court shoes. 

The swimmer is no stranger to strength and resilience, losing her leg in a shark attack back in 2025.

The attack, which occurred while she was snorkeling, resulted in Truwit having to undergo a below-the-knee amputation. 

However, just one year later, Truwit stood on the podium at the Paris Paralympic Games, having won silver and bronze medals. 

As part of The Strength Issue, she spoke to the wells of strength required to recover from limb loss and champion visibility for Para athletes.

As the collaboration champions the strength of female athletes, the women themselves put their own stories in the spotlight, celebrating the recovery, repair, and restorative routines that support strength. 

‘At Aveeno, we believe women express strength in countless ways, from pushing boundaries and challenging expectations to embracing the quieter work of recovery and repair,’ said Kirsten Hurley, Head of Commercial, US Aveeno. 

‘Our brand partnership with TOGETHXR uplifts athletes who embody resilience every day, and we’re proud to support them with solutions that help build strong, healthy skin. When women feel restored and supported – starting with the skin they’re in – they’re empowered to take on whatever comes next.’

Kati Fernandez, TOGETHXR Chief Content Officer added, ‘as a company built to champion equality, representation, and real impact in women’s sports, we already see a shift in how women’s strength is redefining the culture in real time. That’s why we’re proud to work with Aveeno on The Strength Issue. This is for every woman who showed up, put in the work, and never needed anyone to tell her she was strong.’
