Angel Reese has always been a full-blown trendsetter off-court.
The Chicago Sky forward, perfectly nicknamed Chi-Town Barbie, has shown an unmistakable flair for high fashion.
Whether it’s pre-game fits, casual outings, or events, Reese never misses a chance to slay. But lately, there’s one brand she’s been all about, turning it into her signature.
But it wasn’t the first time Reese’s love for the brand, worth $60.2 billion per Oberlo, went viral, either.
Earlier this year, she made waves for using her Chanel bags to hide her wrist cast after surgery for a season-ending injury. In her own words, “Hiding my hand with a Chanel is my new thing.”
Well, with a Chanel collection like hers, it’s definitely a statement. Revealing the number of bags she has from the brand, she said, “So, open my new Chanel bag with me. Life has been good; life has been slaying, so…It’s like my 7th, 8th, 9th? 8th Chanel bag.”
Spotted at ComplexCon in Vegas, the Lady Tigers alumna stunned fans in a chic Chanel top paired with a matching bag. espnW posted on their handle, along with a video, “@Reese10Angel pulled up to ComplexCon in the Chanel top with the Chanel clutch 🔥.”

Let us tell you she has a Calfskin & Silver-Tone Metal Red Large Bowling Bag, a Classic 11.12 Handbag in Lambskin & Gold-Tone Metal Black, a CHANEL 20S Pink Caviar Small Vanity Case GHW, a Chanel Mini Flap Bag with Top Handle in Gold Leather, a Chanel 24C Rectangle Flap, Silver Mirror Patent Leather With Star Coin, and more.
So, we are sure it is going to be her obsession till she finds another one. About the injury, she has recovered and is ready to make moves.
Tomorrow, she’s set to represent the Chicago Sky at the WNBA Draft Lottery. This will be her first big team event since Chicago’s major coaching shuffle.
Fans are already hyping her up as the Sky’s good luck charm, and honestly, who would argue?
But unfortunately for the Sky, their chances of landing the No. 1 pick—and Paige Bueckers—are slim, thanks to a previous trade with Dallas.
Can their 2024 draftees’ presence spark something magical?
And while the hooper is totally active in her off-court presence, do you know she is back on the court, grinding to hone her skills?
Angel Reese practices three-point shooting
While she’s been killing it in her Chanel era, Reese hasn’t forgotten what brought her here. Her rookie season was nothing short of spectacular.
She averaged 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds per game and broke the WNBA single-season rebounding record.
Although her injury cut it short, eventually, A’ja Wilson took the lead on that record. But she is at it again.
And every rising star knows there’s always room for growth in them. For the 22-year-old, that means improving her three-point shooting. Last season, she shot a lackluster 18.8% from deep, making just three of her 16 attempts.
Recognizing the need to diversify her scoring, Reese has hit the gym hard this offseason.
Videos have surfaced of her nailing catch-and-shoot threes during practice sessions, hinting at a revamped long-range game.
If she can consistently hit from beyond the arc, she will become a multi-dimensional scoring threat.
Also, with the inaugural 3-on-3 Unrivaled league set to kick off in January 2025, fans won’t have to wait long to see the fruits of her hard work. And obviously, the next WNBA season is going to be one to watch.
