Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese continues to solidify her position as a trailblazer both on and off the court.

The 23-year-old’s striking presence in the WNBA and her influence in fashion had inspired fans and shown them that nothing is impossible.

In her latest Instagram post, the Sky forward spoke about breaking barriers and achieving milestones.

The short clip featured the behind-the-scenes moments during Reese’s Met Gala appearance, dressed in a striking black and white gown designed by Thom Browne.

The outfit showcased a modern take on the classic suit, which also aligned with the ceremony’s theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”

“Becoming the first at many things, so this can become a norm for US!” she wrote.

Interestingly, the video also showcased a voice-over highlighting Reese’s achievements beyond basketball.

“Guys, Angel Reese will not be Angel Reese if she were not out here looking gorgeous and setting trends,” as mentioned in the voiceover, adding, “If you guys don't remember, Angel is the first WNBA or NBA player to be featured on the solo cover for Vogue magazine.”
