Chicago Sky’s standout player Angel Reese delivered a powerful comeback to critics who had negative opinions on her fashion style. This came after the WNBA star made waves with her debut as the cover model for Vogue’s Winter 2025 edition.
Alongside Olympian Gabby Thomas, the Sky forward dazzled in a high-fashion spread, highlighting her sophisticated and stylish side. Celebrating this milestone, Reese posted an assertive TikTok video addressing the backlash. In the video, she responded to detractors who claimed she was “diminishing her brand” due to her fashion sense. “Thank you, Vogue,” she captioned the clip, which featured her enjoying OMB Peezy’s “Lay Down,” with phrases like “All of that ‘needs to cover up,’ ‘she’s cheapening her brand’” appearing on the screen.
Reese also briefly mentioned deactivating her Instagram before making a triumphant return. “Pops back out ‘COVERED UP’ and on the AMERICAN VOGUE COVER,” she wrote.
In the comments, fans showed overwhelming support for the WNBA All-Star, encouraging her to stay unfazed by the criticism. “It’s your moment, no one else’s. I adore you, Angel,” one commented. “Don’t let them affect you; they’ve never encountered someone like you, that’s all,” another fan remarked. A supporter added, “Be authentic, do your thing, and wear what you want.”
Another social media user echoed these sentiments, stating, “Let them feel uneasy. Wear what makes you happy. You’ve earned it.” Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky attending a Chicago Bears match © David Banks-Imagn Images Despite past criticisms, the former LSU athlete continues to hold her ground not only in sports but also in fashion, while remaining indifferent to negative chatter.

Furthermore, the Sky forward channeled Marilyn Monroe with her platinum blonde hair and strapless white Simkhai gown at the 2024 Footwear News Achievement Awards, where she was honored as Style Influencer of the Year.
