The 2024 WNBA rookies have already served up a plethora of sartorial dunks – and the season has just begun.
Los Angeles Sparks star Cameron Brink said fans, and the media alike, are ‘finally’ starting to take notice of the fashion-forward ‘fits the players have been rocking while making their famed tunnel entrances.
‘Now that people can see more deeply into our lives, they’re interested and interacting more,’ she recently told Harper’s Bazaar.
‘Hopefully, the momentum continues, because the WNBA has so much to offer,’ she added.
From Caitlin Clark to Angel Reese, Mail Sport has rounded up 10 of the best rookie outfits we’ve seen so far this season.
Caitlin Clark
Indiana Fever rookie, Caitlin Clark, rocked a silk Fendi jumpsuit at Barclays Center
Caitlin Clark has been killing it in the fashion department, as well as on the court.
The first overall pick of the 2024 WNBA draft recently stepped out in a silk co-ord set from Fendi.
The beige and red ensemble, which featured a long sleeve button down and matching trousers, was adorned with the Italian brand’s iconic logo.
22-year-old Clark went makeup free as she arrived at the Barclays Center for a game, accessorizing with a pair of sling back pumps, a beige leather handbag and diamond hoop earrings.
Cameron Brink
Los Angeles Sparks forward, Cameron Brink, rocked an Alexander Wang ensemble that served as an advertisement for the WNBA’s League Pass in May.

She also donned an ultra mini denim skirt with a pair of Alexander Wang-branded underwear exposed.
The Stanford alum accessorized with knee high black boots, a small black handbag and dark shades.
‘Fashion is one of my biggest passions outside of basketball, so anything I can keep doing in that realm, I would be so happy with,’ Brink recently told Harper’s Bazaar.
‘I definitely get excited for tunnel fits! I work with stylist Sydney Bordonaro for some of them; she’s the best,’ she continued.
‘I definitely lean into more girly outfits off the court. I think basketball helps me display more of my masculine energy, so when I have the chance to do my hair, makeup, and put on a cute outfit, I take advantage of it.’
