WNBA Star Angel Reese’s Glam-Up Appearance for New Year Draws Attention

WNBA standout Angel Reese rang in the new year by turning a simple Instagram post into a full-blown style moment.

Just days into 2026, the Chicago Sky forward shared a series of mirror selfies that quickly grabbed attention across social media, not because of basketball highlights, but because of a bold, polished fashion look that fans could not stop talking about.

The photos featured Reese wearing a sleek black minidress that hugged her frame and hit mid-thigh, looking strong and confident. The outfit stood out thanks to its two-tone design: smooth black fabric along the sides and a wide strip of plush brown faux fur running down the center.

The fur detail continued upward into a high-turtleneck collar, giving the sleeveless dress a winter-ready feel without detracting from its bold edge. Reese paired the dress with knee-high black leather boots that matched perfectly, complete with their own vertical brown fur panel down the front.

Reese kept her accessories simple, wearing only delicate bracelets on her wrists. Her hair was styled in soft curls, and she snapped the mirror selfie using a phone with a pink case, adding a playful contrast to the dark tones of her outfit. The overall vibe leaned into a chic, Y2K-inspired aesthetic while still feeling modern and elevated.

She captioned the post with a clear statement of intention for the year ahead: “new year= elevation: mentally, physically, and spiritually ✨.”
