Chicago Sky star Angel Reese is used to turning heads, but she presented a unique side of her fashion sense on the Met Gala's blue carpet that caught the public's attention. Reese rocked a Thom Browne gown to the event, stunning fans who went online to shower her with compliments.

Reese turned out to the 2025 Met Gala the night before her birthday in style. Her outfit, a take on a black tuxedo, included a cropped tuxedo jacket and corset leading into a high-waisted long skirt instead of traditional pants. She completed the look with a sleek 1920s-style black bob and silver jewelry.

Fans of both Reese and the Met Gala were more than impressed with her choice of fit for this year's event theme, “Tailored for You,” which corresponded with the museum's exhibit, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” Her supporters took to X, formerly Twitter, to rave about the 23-year-old's style and her being chosen as a member of the host committee.
