Angel Reese Sizzles in Dress That Unzips to Reveal Sky-High Slit in WNBA Tunnel
The ladies of the WNBA have been bringing some chic and stunning looks to the tunnel lately, and fans are here for it.
Angel Reese continued her run of headline-making WNBA tunnel looks on Oct. 7, arriving at State Farm Arena in a dramatic black Balmain gown before the Atlanta Dream faced the New York Liberty in Game 2 of the WNBA semifinals.
The 2026 WNBA Defensive Player of the Year has increasingly become known for treating pregame arrivals as fashion moments, mixing luxury designers, statement accessories, and figure-hugging silhouettes. Her latest appearance was no exception, with Reese choosing a floor-length black Balmain gathered gown that combined classic evening wear with one particularly daring detail: a large gold zipper running up to her hip and down the front of the dress.
Reese wore the zipper partially open, creating a dramatic thigh-high slit that transformed the gown. The sleeveless dress also featured structured shoulders and a high mock neckline, giving it a polished, architectural feel while the exposed leg added a more provocative edge.
The athlete paired the gown with pointed-toe black heels and accessorized with oversized gold spiral earrings, a chunky gold bracelet, and several rings. Her hair was styled in long, voluminous waves, parted to the side and falling over one shoulder.
The look was another example of how Reese has made fashion a prominent part of her public image since entering the WNBA. Her tunnel wardrobe has ranged from designer dresses and matching sets to bold handbags and statement footwear. She arrived for Game 1 of the semifinal series rocking a long-sleeved mini dress with a plunging neckline, black boots, and a colorful Chanel bag.
Reese’s fashion profile has also extended beyond the WNBA tunnel. After joining the Atlanta Dream, she marked the move with a LaQuan Smith houndstooth skirt suit while celebrating her Victoria’s Secret campaign, further establishing her crossover presence in fashion and entertainment. Her black Balmain dress is another memorable ensemble that fans cannot stop buzzing about.
