All the Red Carpet Looks From the 2025 WNBA Draft

Just over a week after the March Madness championship ended in a UConn victory, we had even more women’s basketball excitement to tide us over: the 2025 WNBA Draft.

UConn’s star player Paige Bueckers was among the aspiring professionals who appeared at the draft at The Shed in New York City. (She, along with other WNBA-hopefuls, kicked off the morning strong by lighting the Empire State Building.) Bueckers was the evening’s first pick, drafted to the Dallas Wings. But, while many eyes were on Bueckers, there are plenty more WNBA-hopefuls to keep tabs on, Hailey Van Lith, Georgia Amoore, and Kiki Iriafen among them.

The 2024 draft inducted Caitlin Clark, Cameron Brink, and Vogue cover star Angel Reese into the WNBA. Not only were we in awe of their talents, we were also impressed by their fashion prowess. Clark was dressed by Prada in a white skirt set with a rhinestone top for the occasion, while Reese opted for a metallic silver hooded Bronx and Banco dress.

This year’s class followed suit. While some draftees kept it classic, others were more experimental. Van Lith leaned into the feminine in a Coach minidress, while Bueckers opted for a three-piece suit by the brand—later changing into a Louis Vuitton look. Aziaha James went hardware-heavy, her short suit laden with safety pins, chains, and pearls. Meanwhile, Saniya Rivers used her purse to send a message, “The WNBA been poppin” painted on her bag. One early fashion standout came from Amoore, dressed in a black Honor the Gift skirt suit with floral embroidery, styled for the occasion by none other than Russell Westbrook. “This has never happened before—no athlete has ever dressed another athlete for a draft, let alone an NBA player designing for a WNBA Draft,” the Denver Nuggets point guard told Vogue’s Leah Faye Cooper.
