Before was a study in “power dressing” with “liquid rhinestone cascades.&rdquo was welcomed into the Dallas Wings fold on Monday, April 14, the 2025 WNBA Draft’s No. 1 overall pick dressed to impress in a bejeweled take on power suiting. The former UConn player—who helped lead the Huskies to victory at the NCAA championship a few weeks ago—showed she was also a winner in the style department, sparkling from head to toe in custom Coach.

Stepping out on the orange carpet, Bueckers swapped out her basketball jersey for a mocha brown power suit encrusted in 200,000 transparent glass crystals—an “opulence moment” that her stylist Brittany Hampton told The New York Times was a study in “power dressing” with “liquid rhinestone cascades.”

The cool-girl outfit featured an oversized blazer jacket that was worn open to show off a Y2K-esque matching plunging vest tank top inside. The 23-year-old star finished off her monochromatic look with coordinating slacks that flared out in a relaxed silhouette.

Showing she’s also a pro in the fashion game, Bueckers accessorized with Coach’s TikTok-viral oversized coin purse clutch style. Her iteration was made out of black leather with a gold hardware clasp, with a two-strand strap dripping with pearls and gold medallion charms. She complemented her outfit’s color scheme with a black pendant necklace, black platform shoes, sparkly black rings, and a deep brown manicure.

In contrast to her simple game=day glam, the athlete wore her long platinum blonde hair down in middle-parted mermaid waves that softened her power suiting moment. A glossy nude lip, subtly defined eyes, and contoured matte skin finished off Bueckers’ draft-ready look.

After accepting her spot on the Dallas Wings’ roster, the WNBA star swapped out her brown suit for a plunging sparkly black look. Bueckers went braless in a black powersuit with a deep v-neckline that was embellished with sparkly black lapels. Tapered black pants and black dress shoes rounded out her look. Pulling back her blonde hair in a half-up style, the basketball maven accessorized with a multi-layer diamond tennis necklace, diamond earrings, and a royal blue Wings baseball cap.
