With the WNBA tunnel fashion playoffs tipping off Sunday, September 27, this is the perfect moment to celebrate the women who understand that the game doesn’t stop at the final buzzer. Because when it comes to the tunnel, these players aren’t just showing up. They’re making an entrance.
Skylar Diggins-Smith
Skylar Diggins-Smith has made the tunnel her personal runway since her draft in 2023. The Chicago Sky guard serves polished, feminine, sporty or straight-up grown-woman glamour without ever looking like she’s trying too hard. That kind of effortless style can’t be bought.
Angel Reese
Atlanta Dream star Angel Reese doesn’t just arrive at the arena; she makes an entrance. The Baltimore native has fully embraced the language of modern Black girl fashion: body-conscious silhouettes, luxury accessories, glam, streetwear and a healthy disregard for playing it safe. Angel understands that the outfit is part of the performance.
Rickea Jackson
There are plenty of fashionistas on the Chicago Sky roster, and Rickea Jackson is one of them. The forward knows when to let an oversized piece speak, when to sharpen things up and when to lean towards a timeless, chic look. There’s a cool-girl restraint here that’s not easy for everyone to execute.
Natasha Cloud
Chicago Sky player Natasha Cloud has a style that suits her expressive personality. She can deliver a sharp suit, a statement piece or a laid-back streetwear look while maintaining an unmistakable sense of individuality. Her fashion feels personal, which is increasingly refreshing in a world where everyone seems to be shopping from the same mood board.
Alyssa Thomas and DeWanna Bonner
Alyssa Thomas and DeWanna Bonner brought something to the WNBA fashion conversation that we love to see: couple style with personality. During their joint stint with the Connecticut Sun, the engaged couple proved that you don’t need to match to make sense together. Thomas’ cool, understated energy and Bonner’s glam sensibility create a dynamic that works beautifully on and off the carpet. Bonner now plays for the Dream, while Thomas is a starter for the Phoenix Mercury.
Arike Ogunbowale
Arike Ogunbowale, a guard for the Dallas Wings, knows how to make a tunnel entrance feel like an event. Her wardrobe mixes bold colors, standout accessories, sleek silhouettes and streetwear attitude. Her confident looks prove that she’s not interested in blending into the background.
A’ja Wilson
A’ja Wilson has superstar fashion to match her superstar résumé. The Las Vegas Aces center understands glamour, but she also understands proportion, tailoring and the power of a really good statement piece. Whether she’s giving luxury at the Met Gala or showing off her street style, A’ja’s looks command the room as much as her game does.
Sydney Colson
Sydney Colson’s fashion comes with a sense of humor. The veteran Indiana Fever guard isn’t afraid of a playful moment, an unexpected piece or a look that feels unmistakably hers. Sydney’s willingness to have fun is its own kind of flex, making her one of the most recognizable personalities and fashionistas in the W.
Olivia Nelson-Ododa
Olivia Nelson-Ododa gives us the kind of understated style that doesn’t scream for attention. Take a closer look. Her silhouettes are always clean, the proportions work, and the overall effect is polished without being precious. The Connecticut Sun center knows exactly what works for her.
Jordan Horston
Jordan Horston’s style is full of youthful energy. Her looks pull from the oversized, sporty and streetwear-heavy vocabulary that defines contemporary fashion, but with a personal touch. The Seattle Storm star is no stranger to experimentation.
Lexie Brown
Seattle Storm’s Lexie Brown understands the power of a polished look. She can go sleek without becoming boring and casual without looking like she just left practice. Her style sits comfortably in that sweet spot between elevated and approachable.
Tiffany Hayes
Tiffany Hayes has the confidence of a veteran and the wardrobe to match. The Golden State Valkyries guard’s style isn’t locked into one category. She can give tailored, feminine, sporty or edgy looks that are perfect for any occasion. The through line is confidence.
DiJonai Carrington
DiJonai Carrington’s style is edgy with plenty of personality. The Chicago Sky player understands contemporary streetwear while leaving room for glamour and experimentation.
Natisha Hiedeman and Courtney Williams
Natisha Hiedeman and Courtney Williams, also known as the Studbudz, have the kind of best-friend chemistry that makes everything more entertaining. Their fashion doesn’t need to be perfectly coordinated because the real accessory is the friendship. Two personalities, two wardrobes, one recognizable vibe.
Isabelle Harrison
Isabelle Harrison, a forward for Toronto Tempo, makes a strong case for feminine sophistication. She knows the value of a flattering silhouette, polished details and a little glamour. Nothing feels accidental, but nothing feels overworked either.
In the WNBA, there’s room for the glam girl, the streetwear girl, the minimalist, the maximalist, the suit enthusiast and the one who simply wants to make everybody laugh. That’s what makes the league’s fashion culture so compelling. Even if basketball isn’t your primary interest, the tunnel fits alone are reason enough to watch.
