Angel Reese follows up her Met Gala appearance with another impressive outing for Chicago Sky – 24 hours later
Just a day after stepping onto the red carpet at the Met Gala, Angel Reese returned to the court for the Chicago Sky and put together an impressive performance.
On Monday, Reese was one of many notable names to appear at the event in New York City, as she rung in her 22nd birthday in style.
And 24 hours later, Reese starred for the Sky in a preseason win vs. the Liberty as she tallied 13 points and five rebounds for her new team.
‘So now yall can delete them drafts & tweets saying i shouldn’t have gone to the met gala & i can’t do both, ‘ she wrote on X afterwards. ‘I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME.’
Reese, who also scored 13 points in her Sky preseason debut, took a private jet to New York for the Met Gala, where this year’s theme was ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.’
The Chicago Sky star was dressed in 16Arlington by Marco Capaldo.
Other basketball players at the event included former NBA Dwyane Wade and oft-injured Brooklyn Nets player Ben Simmons.
In a TikTok recorded after the Met Gala, Reese wrote,’Today was a success. I was able to play the game I love, but also live in the fashion world and do everything I’ve always dreamed about.’
The women’s basketball player has had a whirlwind couple of months.
Her LSU basketball team made it to the Elite Eight of the women’s NCAA Tournament before falling to Caitlin Clark’s Iowa squad on April 1.
Two weeks later, Reese began her pro career as she was selected No. 7 overall by the Sky.
And after a brief, two game preseason, Reese will make her competitive pro debut in a week when the Sky begin their regular season vs. the Dallas Wings.
