The WNBA All-Stars kicked off their All-Star Weekend in style, dazzling fans with glamorous outfits as they strutted down the Orange Carpet on Thursday.

Held at the Indianapolis Convention Center, the event saw players take the stage to loud cheers from hundreds of enthusiastic supporters. It added a new dimension to the All-Star festivities, blending fashion with fan engagement.

“This was so much fun,” said Los Angeles Sparks guard Kelsey Plum, who turned heads in a sparkling red dress and heels.

Indiana Fever’s Aliyah Boston, donning a sleek, dark gown, echoed Plum’s excitement. “I think it gets the fans more excited to see all the outfits,” she said.

In recent seasons, WNBA players have elevated their off-court fashion, gaining widespread attention for their bold and expressive pregame looks. While “Tunnel Fits” have long been a part of the league, the trend has now evolved into a significant part of player branding and fan culture.

Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese made a statement in a leopard print coat and trendy sunglasses. “I missed this last year due to flight delays, so I’m glad I made it this time,” said Reese.

Reigning MVP A’ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces stunned in a Di Petsa-designed maroon gown with a high slit, accessorized with striking gold Saint Laurent earrings.

New York Liberty’s Natasha Cloud, who will take part in Friday’s skills competition, admitted she felt a bit out of her element. “It definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone,” she said, opting for a classic pants-and-shirt combo.

Minnesota Lynx’s Napheesa Collier enjoyed the spotlight but said she would have chosen a less revealing outfit had she known children would be in the crowd.
