The Extravagant Life of Angel Reese
The Bayou Barbie is a renowned college basketball player, but on the other side, she is also a very influential swimsuit model. Aside from her sport, she takes pride in her fashion and never disappoints her fans. Her unapologetic attitude and exceptional fashion sense have gained her over 2.5 million followers on Instagram.
Over the years, she was spotted several times with unique dresses from several fashion tachyons. However, taking fashion to another level, Reese never forgets to get her lashes, nails, and hair done, even in her matches. In an interview with Law Roach of Interview Magazine, Reese said, “ I love fashion and always wanted to be a model. I’m six foot, three inches, so I could be a model. I love taking pictures. My mom would be like, ‘You taking a hundred pictures just to post three on Instagram?’ That’s just what I do. My grandma taught me: Never let nobody mess up your mascara, your nails, your lashes. You can be cute and go out there and still ball. So I’m trying to change the stereotype that women in sports can’t be girly and have fashion off the court.”

But, aside from a love for fashion, the swimsuit model is also crazy about cars. After helping the LSU Tigers win the 2022-23 championship title, their star player Reese celebrated her 21st birthday by gifting herself a Mercedes Benz. She posted pics with her new toy on X, and also wrote, “BIG BODY BENZ BARBIE! 👀💖Why not get a new car when it’s your 21st birthday week??? 🥳”
Notably, this is the last year where Reese will be playing as a college star as she is all set to make waves in the WNBA next.
A shining star
Born in 2002, Angel Reese showed early signs of her interest in basketball. After having one of the most successful careers, she announced her commitment to LSU, where for the past three seasons she has been the player who stood out the most. After leading the Tigers to the championship title last season, she is back with a focused mindset of stopping at nothing but a win in the ongoing 2023-24 NCAA season.
So far, the Tigers in the shadows of Reese have won ten matches out of the eleven matches they have played. Although amidst the season, many anticipated that the Tigers were going to have the worst season ever, with Reese being sidelined because of ‘Coach’s decision’, her comeback proved everyone wrong.
And if the Tigers continue to play with the same rhythm they are playing right now, there will be no stopping them until they clinch this year’s title too.
Many fans are eagerly awaiting a second Reese and Caitlin Clark showdown as both of them are one of the best players in the league and their rivalry just makes things even more exciting.
