UConn Huskies star Azzi Fudd shared a behind-the-scenes of her stunning look for the 2025 WNBA Draft.

In a highlight reel of almost one minute, Azi Fudd showcased the entire process of her WNBA Draft look, all the way from prepping her, her hair, make-up, and down to her nails.

Azzi Fudd turned heads at the 2025 WNBA Draft with a stunning black wrap dress that perfectly balanced elegance and modern flair. The dress featured a deep V-neckline and a sheer skirt, which added a touch of sophistication while highlighting her athletic frame.

Designed in a vintage-inspired style reminiscent of the 1940s and ’50s, the outfit was both timeless and fashion-forward, making Fudd a standout on the orange carpet.

Her styling choices further elevated the look, with her hair straightened and parted down the middle, framing her face beautifully. Fudd opted for a soft glam makeup look, which complemented the sleekness of her dress and added a subtle glow to her overall appearance.

A diamond choker served as the perfect accessory, drawing attention to the neckline and adding a hint of sparkle to her ensemble.

Despite being eligible for the WNBA Draft, Azzi Fudd chose to stay for one more season with the UConn Huskies, citing things she needs to “work on.”
