Angel Reese is turning heads with a daring high-slit Vogue Australia dress
Angel Reese is far more than just another player in the WNBA. She’s taking on the fashion world with her Vogue Australia April 2026 digital cover. In March 2026, she posted striking high-fashion looks from the shoot to her Instagram Stories. These included a dramatic white feathered Mariam Seddiq bodysuit paired with her own signature sneakers. The cover highlighted her groundbreaking partnership with Reebok, showcasing her AR1 signature shoe.
In another standout outfit, Reese wore a sheer black dress layered over a custom black bodysuit from her Reebok collaboration, pairing the look with her own branded pieces, including socks and sneakers.
Other looks in the shoot leaned into elevated streetwear and luxury styling. These included a Stüssy jacket, St. Agni tank, and Bonnie McKee skirt accented with Bulgari jewelry, again grounded by Reebok sneakers, highlighting her role in bringing athletic footwear into high-fashion spaces.
However, it’s her own Reebok custom jacket that has everyone talking. One of the photos shows Reese posing in the black floor-length jacket with a high slit through the middle. Of course, she paired the look with Reebok socks and Angel Reese 1 sneakers. For additional glam, she added Tiffany & Co. earrings and necklaces worn as bracelets.
Fans adored the looks and commented on them on Instagram.

The WNBA star previously said she’s always loved basketball and fashion
Angel Reese first began building her national profile as a highly touted high school recruit out of Maryland. She was ranked among the top players in her class and earned McDonald’s All-American honors. Her stardom took off when she joined LSU Tigers women’s basketball. Under head coach Kim Mulkey, Reese became the centerpiece of a dominant team
Her breakout moment came during the 2023 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Tournament, where she delivered one of the most memorable performances in recent history. By the time she declared for the 2024 WNBA Draft and was selected by the Chicago Sky, Reese had already established herself as a star.
In January 2025, she told Vogue that she’s always been a “fashion girlie” despite her simultaneous love for basketball. This is evident by her “Bayou Barbie” nickname, which she received while playing in full glam for LSU.
“It’s always been both: basketball and fashion,” she said. While basketball ran in her family, she said she was “a fashion girlie from young too.” Reese explained how she spent a lot of time in her mom’s closet. “I liked to carry a purse. Hair done. I wanted to look put together. I still do,” she continued.
Reese added that she’d love to model in a fashion show — perhaps even Paris Fashion Week.
