WNBA star Angel Reese turned heads during All-Star weekend with a bold fashion statement, and one of her biggest fans made sure the world knew it: none other than NBA fashion icon Russell Westbrook.

Reese made a grand impression in a striking double-breasted leopard-print coat that radiated confidence and flair. The full-print look was daring yet elegant and instantly caught attention both on and off the court.

Westbrook, known for his own daring fashion choices, praised Reese's style in a message shared Wednesday:

“Oh, I live a print, especially a print from top to bottom," Westbook said on his "Word of Westbrook" newsletter. "Print is always in season. Angel Reese does it well. The double-breasted printed leopard coat is amazing amazing amazing. Looks great. And no surprise, another great look out of WNBA ASW."

The high praise from Westbrook is a clear stamp of approval from one of basketball’s most fashion-forward personalities. Reese continues to make her mark, not just in the paint, but in the world of style.

The former LSU star has quickly become one of the WNBA’s most visible new faces. Known for her fierce competitiveness and unapologetic confidence, Reese has brought both grit and glamour to the Chicago Sky. She’s averaged a double-double over her first two seasons and recently set a league record for most consecutive games with double-digit rebounds, all while building a brand rooted in personality, fashion and flair.

The latest from his "World of Westbrook".

Westbrook has long been at the intersection of sports and fashion. A former MVP and nine-time NBA All-Star, Westbrook has made headlines for his fearless style choices, often showing up to games in designer outfits, bold prints and runway-worthy fits. He's even launched his own fashion line, proving he’s just as serious about style as he is about basketball.

So when Westbrook compliments a look, especially one as bold as Reese’s, it means something. The moment was more than just style recognition; it was a nod from one trendsetter to another.
