The WNBA Draft isn't just a pivotal moment for emerging basketball talent—it's also a stage for fashion statements. Every year, draftees hit the orange carpet and showcase bold, stylish choices that leave a lasting impression long before they step onto the court.

Stars like Flau'jae Johnson have shown their support for the WNBA Draft looks, highlighting just how much the fashion is resonating with everyone.

Let’s take a look at the standout outfits from the latest draft class and break down the pieces that made them turn heads.

Paige Bueckers

Paige Bueckers stunned on the carpet in a purple sparkly Coach suit featuring flared pants that brought both edge and elegance. She carried a statement black bag with a bold gold chain, accessorized with stacked rings and black nails that tied the whole look together. Her hair was styled in a crimped, middle-parted 'do, and a sharp winged liner added just the right amount of drama to seal the look with flair.

Speaking to the Coach designing team, Bueckers said she wanted "something sparkly, a little bedazzled and something fire"—the look delivered on all fronts.

She also pulled off an outfit change to an all-black suit with a jeweled edge to hear her name called. 

Kiki Iriafen

A true golden goddess, Kiki Iriafen stole the spotlight as she made her way down the carpet, leaving everyone in awe. She wore a stunning gold dress with intricate detailing and a dramatic thigh-high slit, paired effortlessly with dangling earrings and matching gold heels. But what truly turned heads was her radiant blonde hair, styled in a sleek side part that gave the whole look an extra dose of elegance.

Hailey Van Lith

Hailey Van Lith was second to grace the orange carpet, turning heads in a stunning all-black look. She wore a sheer, shimmery dress that caught the light with every step. A sleek black Coach bag hung at her side, paired with classic high heels. Hailey completed the look with her hair pinned to one side, showcasing sharp winged eyeliner and serving major face — a true masterclass in glam.

Aziaha James

The first draftee to hit the orange carpet in style was Aziaha James, making a bold entrance in an edgy, all-black two-piece ensemble. She brought serious attitude to the carpet, accessorizing with layered chains and sleek dark shades featuring a contrasting light-colored brim. But the unexpected details that really turned heads—frilly white socks peeking out above her black shoes, laced up with bright white strings- added a playful twist to her otherwise fierce look.

Georgia Amoore

Georgia Amoore was styled by none other than NBA star Russell Westbrook—a crossover we didn’t know we needed. When was the last time you saw one athlete style another? This might just be a first. Amoore rocked a bold black leather blazer adorned with white floral embroidery and a matching black skirt. A history-making fashion moment, no doubt.
