WNBA star Angel Reese made headlines as she attended the Met Gala on her 22nd birthday, stunning in a gown after a Chicago Sky practice. Reese, the first WNBA rookie at the event, received both praise and criticism for her appearance, with some questioning her wardrobe choice given her previous comments about being 'sexualized.' Despite the attention, Reese used the spotlight to highlight the WNBA and later showcased her skills on the court, scoring points for the Chicago Sky. Her busy schedule included a media day for the Sky, where she expressed her commitment to elevating the team and the league. Reese's appearance at the Met Gala also led to a fashion campaign opportunity and a response to critics who questioned her priorities amidst the WNBA preseason games.
