Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese has shared photos from a recent photoshoot showcasing a gold halter swimsuit. Reese posted the images on Wednesday, the same day she was named a three-time All-Star.
In the photos, Reese, 24, is pictured wearing the gold swimsuit paired with gold bangles, sandals, and large earrings. She also posed with a fan and a gold sarong. Reese shared one of the images on Instagram with the caption, “Yes, i am exactly who i think i am.”
Athlete Vanity also shared Reese's photos, including one of her playing UNO against her boyfriend, Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. Reese is seen putting up “L”s, representing a loss, at Carter while wearing the swimsuit and sarong.
Reese has become a notable figure in WNBA fashion, beginning with her declaring for the draft via Vogue after a successful college career at LSU, where she won a national championship in 2023. She was also featured on the cover of Vogue's Winter 2025 issue.
The photoshoot follows a week in which Reese was involved in a public exchange with Toronto head coach Sandy Brondello. Brondello referred to Reese as a "protected species" while protesting a foul call during a game where Reese collided with player Nyara Sabally. Following Atlanta's 111-92 win, Reese posted on X, "ARE WE SURPRISED?!". Brondello later apologized, stating the phrase is common in Australia, and received a one-game suspension from the WNBA for the comment.
Reese addressed the situation, expressing gratitude for the apology and the support she received. "I am grateful that the league did take action on the situation that happened. There is no place for discrimination or hate in this league from anyone — from fans to coaches to players," Reese said. "I’m just grateful we are able to move on from the situation and just play winning basketball."
Reese is averaging 15.4 points and 11.5 rebounds per game this season. She is on Cynthia Cooper's All-Star team, which also includes Paige Bueckers, Kelsey Plum, Gabby Williams, and Breanna Stewart. The WNBA All-Star Game is scheduled for Saturday night in Chicago.
