Angel Reese might have been selected at No. 7 in the 2024 WNBA draft, but her fame is no less than any of the top picks. However, it would be a mistake to think that Reese is just famous for her basketball skills. The WNBA star knows her fashion as well as anybody.
Even before her draft night, Reese searched for the best designers and makeup artists in Brooklyn. She left no stone unturned to turn heads on draft night when she showed up looking stunning in her dress.
Now, it seems like more and more fashion brands are also recognizing her unique fashion sense. Recently, Italian fashion brand Ferragamo (worth $50,000,000, according to Celebrity Net Worth) sent Angele Reese a luxurious black handbag as a gift.
The brand also sent a note:
“With love. Ferragamo.”
More than happy with the gift from the brand, Reese posted a picture of the bag on her Instagram handle and captioned it:
“With Loveeee! Thank you Ferragamo.”
Ferragamo is one of the most renowned brands in the fashion industry. Apart from Hollywood stars like Beyonce, NBA star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has often been mentioned by the brand for flaunting their fashion quotient with Ferragamo.
With the kind of charm and confidence that Reese carries herself with, it wouldn’t be surprising if she becomes an ambassador for the luxury brand.
