Angel Reese wasn’t just showing up to the WNBA All-Star Game this weekend, she was taking over. The Atlanta Dream star grabbed the reins behind the scenes during an All-Star photo session, helping arrange the shot and making sure everyone knew exactly who deserved the credit for the finished product.
New Title: THE Creative Director
Seriously, Reese became “THE creative director” on the spot, according to the WNBA itself! After the pictures were done, she was heard requesting recognition for her work, which is just peak Angel Reese. The WNBA even shared the hilarious moment, writing, “New title for Angel Reese: THE creative director! And she wants her credit on the photos!” This is another incredible display of that pure confidence and personality that’s made her one of the most recognizable athletes in women’s sports, for real. Anyone who’s watched her knows she’s always been closely involved with fashion and content, understanding exactly how she wants to be presented and how to turn a quick interaction into a viral moment.
More Than Just the Court
Reese’s arrival at All-Star Weekend set the tone, too. She showed up looking glamorous in a fresh pink outfit for Team Coop, prompting the WNBA to declare that “All-Star Barbie” had entered the chat. But don’t let the fashion fool you; Reese backed it up big time on the court before the break. She’s been crushing it in her third consecutive WNBA All-Star season after getting traded to Atlanta in April. She’s putting up the best numbers of her young career, averaging a beastly 15.4 points, 11.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.7 steals per game. She even leads the entire WNBA in rebounds and double-doubles. Talk about making a statement after a trade!
Building an Empire, One Barbie at a Time
This playful moment demanding credit just added to an absolutely massive All-Star Weekend for the 24-year-old. Reese also used the stage to celebrate her growing partnership with Barbie and Reebok. She dropped an official Angel Reese Barbie doll and promoted a special pink version of her Reebok Angel Reese 1 signature sneaker. Plus, she surprised kids from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago at her Barbie x Reebok Dream Closet event, making sure every child got a pair of those fresh kicks. It’s so clear her influence extends way beyond the basketball court. She’s building a massive brand, creating opportunities, and controlling how her story is told. If the WNBA uses those All-Star photos, they better remember one thing: give the creative director her credit!
