Angel Reese celebrated her 22nd birthday in style, turning out for the Met Gala.
The Chicago Sky rookie wore a custom dress by British label 16Arlington. Reese is just the second WNBA player to ever grace the Met Gala carpet, following Brittney Griner’s appearance last year.
“I’m just excited to see everyone’s outfits. Everyone looks amazing in here. Being here on my 22nd birthday is amazing,” Reese told WWD ahead of the event. “I feel beautiful and I feel sexy.”
She later took to Twitter, writing that “being able to play the game I love & live my dream in the fashion world all on my 22nd birthday is a blessing.”
Wow! God is so good! Being able to play the game I love & live my dream in the fashion world all on my 22nd birthday is a blessing.

Reese wasn’t the only women’s sports athlete to grace the Met Gala this year. Rolex Women’s World Golf Ranking No. 1 Nelly Korda arrived as a guest of Wasserman Media Group chairperson Casey Wasserman, making her the first LPGA golfer to attend the event. Korda wore Oscar de la Renta.
