Fresh off dominating the court, Angel Reese is already eyeing her next high-profile appearance-and it’s not in a stadium. Just moments after being named player of the game in the Chicago Sky’s 89-62 preseason blowout over Brazil, Reese took to Instagram with a bold message: the countdown to the Met Gala is officially on.
“Bayou Barbie” posted a photo of her pregame outfit alongside a ticking clock to Monday’s star-studded event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, signaling she’s ready to run it back on fashion’s biggest night.
But this year, she’s not just walking the red carpet-she’s helping run the show. Reese will serve on the 2025 Met Gala host committee, joining fellow athletic icons Simone Biles and Sha’Carri Richardson for the “Superfine: Tailoring Black Culture” theme.
Reese leads a stellar board of directors
Alongside celebrities like Regina King, Usher, and Spike Lee, and with LeBron James as an honorary chair, Reese is proving she’s not just a force in basketball but a cultural powerhouse redefining what it means to be a modern athlete.
And she’s doing it all without skipping a beat. Back in 2024, Reese stunned at the Met Gala and then dropped 13 points and five boards less than 24 hours later in a preseason game against the New York Liberty.
That same unstoppable energy showed up again this week at LSU’s Pete Maravich Assembly Center, where she posted a classic 15-point, 10-rebound double-double in just 17 minutes.
Angel is engraving his name in history
Reese’s off-court glow-up continues to match her on-court grind. Between her Unapologetically Angel podcast, brand deals with McDonald’s and Reese’s Puffs, magazine covers, and a WNBA All-Star nod, the Sky forward is crafting a legacy that transcends basketball.
With her heels ready for the Met and her sneakers locked in for the season, Angel Reese is doing what few dare to try-and making it look easy.
