In a standout performance against the Seattle Storm on July 2, Reese dropped 27 points and snatched 10 rebounds, marking yet another double-double in her rookie campaign. Yet just hours later, she appeared on Instagram in a sleek braided updo, stepping out like she’d never broken a sweat. The physicality of her play never disrupts the precision of her presentation. So here’s the real question. How does she balance it?
Who is Behind Angel Reese’s Braids and Balenciaga?
According to Reese, the fashion planning starts long before tip-off. “I usually pick out 40 outfits before the season,” she said, that every game on the WNBA calendar comes with a pre-planned fashion moment. Whether she’s collaborating with brands like Revolve or styling herself, Reese approaches game days like mini fashion editorials. “That’s easy to me,” she shrugged, like a pro who knows she’s in full control of her record, both on the court and in the closet.
But things are different for events like All-Star Weekend or the Met Gala. That’s when her glam team levels up. “Glam days are long days,” she said. “But my team is amazing.” Reese keeps a trusted circle of nail artists, makeup artists, and stylists who can travel with her and know exactly how to complete her vision.

Of course, fans have long admired her quick hair changes. One day it’s sleek and straight, the next it’s braids or a voluminous updo. Now we know why, “They always ask me how I switch my hair up so fast,” she said with a grin. “I have a hairstylist in every city. Literally, every city I can find a hairstylist. So that’s never an issue.”
