Chicago Sky star Angel Reese has captivated her fans once again, this time with a fresh new look as the WNBA gears up for its return. The 22-year-old forward, known for her style and versatility both on and off the court, debuted a striking new braided hairstyle that left her supporters in awe.
As Reese prepares to take on the Phoenix Mercury on August 15, she’ll be sporting a different look, having traded her long, flowing locks for a set of sleek cornrows. In addition to her new hairstyle, Reese also shared a makeup-free selfie that showcased her natural beauty, much to the delight of her followers.
Captioned “Baby face,” Reese’s photo—posted from her apartment on Tuesday, August 13—highlighted not only her new braids but also her effortless style, complete with earrings and a gold necklace. The cornrows cascaded over her shoulder, adding a fresh edge to her appearance.
Fresh off her trip to Paris, where she cheered on Team USA to a gold medal in women’s basketball at the 2024 Olympic Games, Reese is now back in the United States and ready to hit the court. With impressive averages of 13.5 points, 12 rebounds, and 1.5 steals per game, Reese is firmly in the race for the WNBA Rookie of the Year Award, competing against Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark.
As the WNBA season resumes, Reese and the Chicago Sky will face the Phoenix Mercury on Friday, August 15, at Wintrust Arena in Chicago. The game promises to be a close contest, with the Mercury holding a slight edge with a .520 season record compared to the Sky’s .417. However, a win for the Sky could elevate Reese and her team above Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever, adding another chapter to their ongoing rivalry.
With her new look and determined mindset, Angel Reese is poised to make a significant impact as the WNBA season heats up.
