All stepped into the glaring spotlight of Monday night's WNBA's draft having faced the challenge essentially every woman can identify with: wearing just the right outfit for a special occasion.

“With more eyes on the league, players recognize the opportunity to showcase their personalities through their style,” Minutaglio said."Because of glaring pay discrepancies, fashion partnerships and brand sponsorships will continue to play a big role for female athletes.” Clark went with a white jacket and skirt with a sparkly cutoff top, sunglasses and black heels. She credited having people help her prepare keeping it less stressful.

Reese dazzled in a grey dress with a plunging neckline after a late wardrobe change with help from designers Bronx and Banco, Simon Miller and Christian Louboutin.Finding glam looks off the rack can be a challenge for most women. Shakira Austin, the third overall pick in 2022 by the Washington Mystics, understands the angst Clark and others face. While the 6-5 centre was playing in college at Mississippi, Austin was forced to be creative as she struggled to find pants that fit or any clothing that captured her style.

Minutaglio said several brands work with female athletes, with Glossier and SKIMS teaming up with the WNBA specifically. She noted sports brands like Puma, Adidas and Nike all work with women in basketball.
