Rickea Jackson showed no signs of slowing down, whether on the court or off the court, as the Los Angeles Sparks player showcased her star power.

Ahead of the exciting matchup between the team and the Golden State Valkyries, the 24-year-old made her presence known with her fashion game that was hard to miss.

While the tunnel walk is part of basketball culture, she did not disappoint fans by delivering a standout look.

Rickea Jackson’s outfit featured a nod to the no-pants trend as she strutted the hallways in a sexy all-black ensemble.

The Sparks forward opted for a plain black top paired with micro shorts that highlighted her long, toned legs.

In addition to this, she made the look chic by adding a longline black blazer as a layering piece.

Lastly, the outfit was styled with see-through black stockings with a faux leg tattoo for an edgier look and red patent stilettos for a pop of color.

“I see you @rickea,” a fan mentioned.

One commenter summed it up with a single word: “ATE,” slang for looking amazing and radiating confidence in an outfit.

Another echoed the sentiment and said “Rickea ate and left no crumbs,” meaning she owned the look with nothing left to critique.

Meanwhile, a follower praised her and teammate Sarah Barker and added a remark, “Rickea & Sarah comin' thru wit' nice body framez.”

Another fan seemed at a loss for words and simply commented, “Rickea, man,” followed by a string of heart-eyed emojis.

During the Sparks vs. Valkyries matchup, Jackson joined Dearica Hamby, Azurá Stevens, Kelsey Plum and Odyssey Sims in the starting five. The Valkyries countered with a lineup featuring Kayla Thornton, Janelle Salaün, Temi Fágbénlé, Julie Vanloo and Veronica Burton.
