WNBA The draft brought all the latest rookies to the orange carpet. The WNBA has become a fashion and culture hotspot, and the next drafter reminded them of it with their outfits at the event Monday night. They looked good for their big nights.
The WNBA also announced a new partnership with the coach on Monday morning, and wasted no time including the draft night festival brand. The orange carpet was not only sponsored by the coach, but many of the outfits were also styled by the brand. The designer will also be working as the “official handbag partner of the WNBA.”
The Drafts outfits had several different themes, so let’s take a look at some of the most spectacular fits of them.
She is a diamond of the season – sparkle!
Page Booker, coach’s style

It’s hard to convey in photos, but Page Bookers sparkles with his head-to-toe custom coach. The black and brown microchecker design included a matching jacket, vest and pants, with stone dripping down. She carried a black leather coach bag to match her black leather shoe shoes and wore mixed metal jewelry and accessories. Her signature braid was taken out to free up and wavy her blonde lock.
The overall look was a mix of vintage menswear and feminine sparkling glamour. This is a statement of the choice of Bueckers’ trademark, Androgynous Style. She looked comfortable and glowed with natural makeup. Slam Dunk!
Page then changed her fit (Riccae Jackson’s movements) and headed to the draft table in another suit. She was all black and fittered more, but still took an oversized suit.
The lapels in her suit were still sparkly to suit her glittering vibe, so she chose to pull her hair back to a half-half-down look, a more classic Page. It’s still very attractive, very pagey and fits the style of the first look, but neutral black.
Haley Van Liss, style by coach

Haley Van Lis was a classy fun photo wearing a small black dress designed by her coach. She told reporters that she wanted a vintage look on the orange carpet, and worked with the designer to mix together several different styles. It had another completely sparkly look, with sheer patterned sleeves and a lover’s neckline.
Van Lis paired the dress with a classic platform heel and leather coach bag. You can easily go with busy patterns and the sparkle of her dress. The black monochromatic contrasted her blonde hair in a gorgeous way. It was blown away and pulled to the side with two silver coach bullets.
Her makeup was almost simple, with smoky eyes and contoured cheeks. The overall look was a mix of elegance and joy. She also called it the “college funeral” outfit, iconic outfit.

Kiki Iriafen is at that moment. She stepped onto that carpet in a golden floor-length gown with leg slits and shoulder accents, bringing zero crumbs. The look was created by Nigerian designer Nneka Alexander and aimed to pay homage to Iriafen’s Nigerian culture
The gold skirt is fully accented with bronze corsets and Nigerian beads, and is decorated with orange earrings and an orange bracelet. The beads and stones make her look like a sparkling goddess, and her long blonde rock adds another level of charm throughout.
Keep it classic!
Dominique Malonga in Louis Vuitton style

France is becoming a hot spot for developing basketball talent, and the WNBA’s latest Bell is building style. Dominique Malonga wanted to pay homage to his French roots, wearing a head-to-toe Louis Vuitton. She opted for a tailored black suit with a white shirt and clutch handbag.
In search of stacked jewelry look and chic glasses, Malonga is proving that classics never fall out of style!
Shyanne Seller

The elegant and refined suits are always stylish, and Shyanne sellers have added pops of colour to the carpet! It combines a classic silhouette with a pair of neutral frames and a single-color handkerchief. Periwinkle blue makes her look shine, and the fact that she is dripping down on Van Cleef jewelry helps.
She looks comfortable, classy and fun. It always looks like you’ll faint on any carpet.
Sonia Citron, coach’s style

Sonia Citron also decided on an all-black fit, did business at the top and partyed at the bottom. Her tailored jacket offers both a plunging neckline that is chic and elegant. She paired it with an asymmetrical skirt and a small bag.
Her hair continues this smooth trend by straightening, but is lifted up by half-half-long look. She takes a bit of risk, wearing white socks with a pump, adding a bit of playfulness to her appearance.
It’s girly, but in the girl boss in a mission-like way. Perfect for the biggest day of your career.
Take risks on the runway and make a statement
Sanya River
Saniya Rivers went in a simpler pattern, but experimented with unusual silhouettes. The one-sided asymmetrical jacket complements her athletic ability and shows off her muscles while appearing to be perfectly tailored to her. The white colour of her outfit was in stark contrast to her red hair match.
The red and white also match her bag, with the message “The WNBA was Poppin” written next to it, and the WNBA is drawn in red.
Rivers commented on her “always wearing black,” so she decided to change it by opposing it. Not only does she look good, she stands out.
Azai Hajames

Azaiha James said he wanted the draft look “up” on the orange carpet. She went to an oversized, painful jacket and shorts combo, loafers and white socks. Her jacket was decorated with pins, buttons and chains, giving it a matching edge to the silver gem.
Her hair was braided and drawn into a high ponytail, and she finished the look with a pair of cool sunglasses.
Another “jacket-no-shirt” combo, the neckline was the perfect offset to the fact that the oversized style of the rest of the outfit was overhanging her body. It was giving contrast! The whole thing was fun, wonderful, a step outside the box.
Georgia Amoor, Russell Westbrook style

Russell Westbrook has always started fashion, but he is now officially taking his styling clients. We’re not mad about it. Westbrook helped Amoore put together the clothes that had a twist on black and white. The leather skirt is paired with an asymmetrical jacket with a floral design. The Australian also wore leather black loafers, socks and a white handbag.
The silhouette is traditional, but the print makes this a dangerous and fun choice. Amoore has a minimal make-up look with silver gems, knocking down your hair. Last!
