Basketball athlete Angel Reese marked her first appearance at the Met Gala this Monday, coinciding with her 22nd birthday celebration. The emerging WNBA talent, recently selected by the Chicago Sky on April 15, graced the prestigious event in New York City, donning a personalized gown crafted by the British fashion house, 16Arlington.
“I’m thrilled to check out everyone’s attire. The vibe in here is incredible, and being here on my 22nd birthday is just surreal,” Reese shared with WWD as she departed The Mark Hotel in anticipation of the event.
Reese’s ensemble showcased a deep neckline adorned with sequins across the bodice, complemented by a feathered miniskirt layered over a sheer fabric underneath. “I feel absolutely stunning and empowered,” she expressed.
