Angel Reese is becoming quite the name in the WNBA fraternity. Apart from her heroics for the Chicago Sky, Reese is also rising rapidly in terms of style quotient. Likewise, the young basketball star was recently spotted at the 38th annual Footwear News Achievement Awards in New York City. The event, also known as the ‘Oscars of Footwear,’ had a major honor waiting for Reese.
Owing to her expansive impact in the field of fashion and lifestyle, Reese was honored with the Style Influencer of the Year award. However, while this was surely a breakthrough moment for Reese, the WNBA star had a dream come true meetup. The 22-year-old crossed paths with pop star Rihanna. She immediately seized the opportunity and stated that she wanted to collaborate with Rihanna. Quite surprisingly, the global superstar agreed!
“She is the one.”
