2025 WNBA Draft Fashion: Who Had the Best Fits?

Paige Bueckers was among the standout rookies at the WNBA Draft, showcasing stunning fashion on the orange carpet.

The WNBA Draft highlighted the latest rookie talents, and as expected, they brought their fashion A-game. The event has solidified the WNBA as a cultural and style hub, with draftees reminding us of this through their exquisite outfits on draft night.

This year, the WNBA also announced a new partnership with Coach, which was prominently featured throughout the draft festivities. The orange carpet was sponsored by Coach, with many of the athletes’ outfits styled by the brand. Coach will serve as the “official handbag partner of the WNBA” moving forward.

With various themes showcased in the athletes’ outfits, let’s explore some of the most eye-catching looks from the event.

She’s the Diamond of the Season – Sparkles!

Paige Bueckers, styled by Coach

Paige Bueckers dazzled in a head-to-toe custom Coach ensemble that featured a black and brown micro checkered design adorned with sparkling stones, complemented by a matching jacket, vest, and pants. Her look was completed with a black leather Coach bag, black leather shoes, and mixed metal jewelry. Bueckers styled her hair in loose, wavy blonde locks, showcasing her signature braids.

The ensemble blended vintage menswear with feminine sparkle, epitomizing Bueckers’s androgynous style. She radiated confidence with her natural makeup. Slam dunk!

Later, Bueckers changed into a fitted yet oversized all-black suit for her draft table appearance, echoing the “Rickea Jackson move.” The suit’s lapels sparkled, maintaining her glittery theme, while her hair was styled in a classic half-up, half-down look.

Hailey Van Lith, styled by Coach

Hailey Van Lith exuded class and fun in a little black dress designed by Coach. She aimed for a vintage aesthetic, collaborating with designers to blend various styles. The fully sparkly dress featured sheer patterned sleeves and a sweetheart neckline.

Van Lith paired the dress with classic platform heels and a leather Coach bag, keeping accessories simple to balance her vibrant dress. Her monochromatic look in black contrasted beautifully with her blonde hair, styled to the side with silver Coach barrettes.

With a simple smoky eye and contoured cheeks, her look radiated elegance and joyfulness, humorously described as a “college funeral” outfit.

Kiki Iriafen

Kiki Iriafen made a bold statement in a stunning gold floor-length gown featuring a leg slit and shoulder accent, designed by Nigerian designer Nneka Alexander to celebrate her Nigerian heritage.

The beautiful gold skirt was accentuated by a bronze corset and adorned with Nigerian beads, complemented by orange earrings and bracelet. Iriafen’s long blonde hair added extra glam to her radiant look.

Keeping it Classic!

Sonia Citron opted for an all-black ensemble, featuring a tailored jacket with a plunging neckline and an asymmetrical skirt. Her half-up, half-down hairstyle complemented her sleek look, while playful white socks with her pumps added a unique twist.

Taking Runway Risks and Making Statements

Saniya Rivers

Saniya Rivers opted for a minimalist pattern while embracing an unconventional silhouette with a one-sleeve, asymmetrical jacket that highlighted her athletic frame. The outfit’s white color beautifully contrasted her red hair, making her stand out.

Rivers’ bag, bearing the message “the WNBA been poppin” in red, mirrored her bold look. She stated her decision to wear white was a refreshing change from her usual black attire.

Azaiha James

Azaiha James embraced an “over the top” look with an oversized distressed jacket and shorts, paired with loafers and white socks. The jacket, decorated with pins, buttons, and chains, brought an edgy vibe that matched her silver jewelry.

Her braided high ponytail and cool sunglasses completed the ensemble, offering a fun contrast to the oversized style.

Georgia Amoore, styled by Russell Westbrook

With Russell Westbrook’s guidance, Georgia Amoore showcased a striking black and white ensemble featuring a leather skirt and an asymmetrical floral jacket. She completed her look with leather loafers, socks, and a white handbag.

While the silhouette maintained a traditional feel, the floral print added a playful twist. Amoore kept her hair down, opting for minimal makeup and silver jewelry, proving that less can be more.
