The Best Looks at the 2026 WNBA All-Star Weekend Are a Masterclass in Slam Dunk Styling
A'ja Wilson, Azzi Fudd, and Paige Bueckers brought their A-game.
The 2026 WNBA All-Star Weekend officially begins on July 24, but even basketball's best athletes need to warm up. So, 36 hours before players Paige Bueckers, A'ja Wilson, and Azzi Fudd go head-to-head, they practiced serving red carpet looks at the welcome event.
While the All-Star Game will take over Chicago's United Center, the best of the WNBA initially rubbed elbows inside McCormick Place on July 23. Not everyone on Team Coop and Team Spoon (led by Bueckers and Caitlin Clark, respectively) RSVP'd "yes," however. Clark and Angel Reese reserved their style slam dunks for future step-and-repeats. (Perhaps their tunnel walks?) But plenty of athletes held down the fashion fort in their stead.
Team Coop captain Bueckers set high style expectations for her teammates: Stylist Jason Bolden (who was behind Nicole Kidman's and Gigi Hadid's 2026 Met Gala gowns) dressed the Dallas Wings guard in a two-piece pants set from Prada. Fudd matched her Wings teammate's effortlessly cool energy in a peekaboo bra, distressed jeans, and Coach's Tabby Bag.
Meanwhile, Wilson started the evening's naked trend in a corset dress from Rahul Mishra, complete with a transparent sheer skirt. Chicago Sky forward DiJonai Carrington won't play during Saturday's All-Star Game, but her semi-sheer catsuit deserves an honorary trophy for "Most Daring Look of the Weekend."
The 2026 WNBA All-Star Weekend is just getting started. Ahead, see all the best looks from basketball's Met Gala. Be sure to bookmark this page, because Marie Claire will keep highlighting red carpet and tunnel walk serves until the final free throw.

Kiki Iriafen (Washington Mystics)
Kiki Iriafen's LBD deserved applause.
Kiki Iriafen isn't your average basketball star, so she couldn't attend the All-Star Weekend in an average LBD. Her strapless style boasted velvet paneling, semi-sheer lace sides, and feather trim from knee to hem.
Kelsey Plum (Los Angeles Sparks)
