Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever have won both of their games since the WNBA‘s return but the superstar hasn’t just enjoyed winning moments on the court but also in the tunnel.
The Fever rolled out the red carpet for Clark as the second half of the WNBA season kickstarted following the Olympic break last week and the No. 1 draft pick rewarded them by serving some fashionable pregame outfits.
The 2024 WNBA season has witnessed a number of sartorial dunks thanks to its fashion-forward rookies such as Cameron Brink and Angel Reese, but Clark’s have reportedly come at quite the cost.
It has been revealed that the co-ord set the rookie wowed in ahead of the Fever’s victory against the Phoenix Mercury – and gold medal winners Brittney Griner and Diana Taurasi – last Friday was worth around $1,831.
Clark wore a matching grey blazer and pant set from Golden Goose with the jacket costing $1,070 and the trousers $670. She finished off the look with a pair of Nike Dunks, which usually cost around $115, taking the total cost of the outfit to $1,854.

However, it was her pregame ensemble for the following matchup against the Seattle Storm which truly broke the bank.
Clothing-wise, Clark dressed head-to-toe in designer Veronica Beard, wearing a $398 navy and white striped shirt and matching $428 wide-leg pants.
Her accessories saw the cost rocket as she donned a Versace Medusa small tote, according to social media account A Fast Break, which costs $1,495 on the luxury fashion house’s website, and a pair of $115 Nike Air Force Ones.
Clark also appeared to be wearing a Rolex watch and a couple of John Hardy bracelets, which A Fast Break estimated to be worth around $15,000 and $3,000, taking the total cost of the outfit to a staggering $20,436 – roughly 26 percent of her base WNBA salary.
However, it is not clear which Rolex model Clark was wearing.
However, Clark’s decadent gameday fits came in the same week she seemingly complained about her salary.
Clark interjected: ‘Those are pretty expensive. Our salaries… it is like our entire salary to get those. I’m not kidding. We need people to help.’

Hull added: ‘I might have to (get tickets). We’ll make sure that people get working on that. We’ll have someone work on that for sure.’
Clark earns a base wage of $76,000 in her rookie WNBA season but also has an eight-year agreement with Nike worth $28million. She has an estimated worth at present of around $3million.
Hull, who signed a three-year, $217,000 with Fever earns $77,000 this season – narrowly more than Clark.
The cost of Fever season tickets started at around $1,600 for the team, meanwhile, and given the success Clark has had in her rookie year, are only set to rise.
The 22-year-old has helped drive a meteoric rise in interest around the WNBA after being drafted first by the Fever in New York earlier this year.

Clark appeared to make a thinly veiled complaint about her Indiana Fever salary on Sunday
Her opening contract with the Fever lasts four years and overall is worth $338,056.
Clark’s salary goes up to $78,066 in year two before climbing further to $85,873 in year three. If her fourth-year option is taken, Clark will then earn $97,582.
She also stands to make millions of the court as well. Clark signed an eight-year, $28million Nike shoe deal in April before playing her first WNBA game.
In fact, thanks to her various brand deals, including a Wilson partnership and her NIL contracts from her college days as an Iowa Hawkeye, Clark likely doesn’t have to dip deep into her pockets to splash out for her designer outfits.
