Is Angel Reese WNBA's biggest fashionista? These 10 looks say yes
Image credit: Angel Reese/Instagram Angel Reese is undeniably one of the most fashion-conscious players in the WNBA at present. She is, in fact, called Bayou Barbie for how she adds glamour to a game that's more about power and sweat on the court. But off it, Reese knows how to steal all the attention with her carefully picked outfits for her tunnel walks. Not just outfits — the Chicago Sky power forward is also known for her ever-changing hairstyles and, on top of everything, the attitude she possesses that adds to her style. 10 Times Angel Reese proved she's WNBA's ultimate Barbie Angel Reese treats the tunnel as her runway, though she has expressed her desire to do a ramp walk at a real fashion show in the future.

Her recent pre-game appearances are already setting the buzz with her one-liners. 'I am exactly who I think I am,' she wrote with a video of her in a black trench coat, dark shades, and a matching fur scarf covering her entire forehead on her way to a game.

Stunning '80s Supermodel, 60, Claps Back at Fan Who Says She Looks Older Than Her Age
Stunning '80s Supermodel, 60, Claps Back at Fan Who Says She Looks Older Than Her Age originally appeared on Parade. Paulina Porizkova is stopping to smell the roses. The iconic '80s and '90s supermodel, 60, is giving fans a glimpse into her version of a perfect day—which includes appreciating life's simple pleasures and building Legos and not letting a critical fan or two ruin her a video shared to Instagram, the former America's Next Top Model judge posted a montage of how she spends a 'perfect' day off while in Prague. Starting with a workout that includes treadmill running and weight training, Porizkova also spends time building Lego flowers with her boyfriend, writer Jeff Greenstein, before enjoying dinner at a local Prague restaurant. She ends the day with a walk, even stopping to listen to street performers while taking in the beauty of the city and what she calls the 'gifts' she's been given. It's sage advice from a woman who has openly shared her personal and professional highs and lows, including the messy end of her 28-year marriage to The Cars frontman Ric Ocasek, about a year before his death in 2019 at age 75. Paulina—one of the rare supermodels known to the world by her first name—is all smiles now. Fans were quick to flood the comments with praise for her ageless beauty and apparent happiness. Perhaps even more endearing: her witty response to one fan's less than kind remarks. One fan who spotted her in person in Prague said they were 'awestruck' by her timeless beauty, while another commented (in Czech) that she looks older than her age. Paulina's confident response: 'I'm 60. And you know what? I don't really care if you think I look older than my age.'And when a commenter wrote that she looks like a 'pretty grandmother,' she cheekily replied, 'Am I pretty for being a grandma or because of being a grandma?' Now that's something for all of us to think about. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Stunning '80s Supermodel, 60, Claps Back at Fan Who Says She Looks Older Than Her Age first appeared on Parade on Jun 23, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 23, 2025, where it first appeared.

'Big-time parliament powerhouse': The Hon Julie Bishop reveals her biggest poitical 'flex' during chat with surprising new bestie Tyra Banks
The Honourable Julie Bishop has revealed what it's like to be a "big-time parliament powerhouse" in a new interview with close friend Tyra Banks. The 68-year-old Australian politician, who was the first female Minister for Foreign Affairs from 2013 to 2018 and the first female deputy leader of the Liberal Party from 2007 to 2018, sat down for an interview with the American supermodel on Sunday. It's understood that the pair became fast friends after Banks moved to Australia with her family, including her nine-year-old son, York, and partner, Louis Bélanger-Martin, in late 2023. The unlikely duo were recently spotted dining together at Nobu in Sydney's Crown Casino, sharing happy snaps from the outing on social media. "I have a confession," the former America's Next Top Model judge told Bishop during the interview for The Daily Telegraph. "I kept forgetting you were this big-time parliament powerhouse because you were just so warm, inviting, lovely … and FUN! "It felt like girlfriends catching up – not a government icon and a retired-but-not-really-retired-now supermodel-turned-businesswoman. Ha!" When Banks asked Bishop what the most unexpected thing was in her handbag, the former MP offered a peek into her current work as the United Nations' Special Envoy to Myanmar. "My United Nations ID and the business cards of some very interesting people!" she revealed. Reflecting on her 21-year political career, the Perth-based former politician, who was MP for Curtin from 1998 to 2019, also served as Minister for Education, Science and Training, Minister for Women's Issues and Minister for Ageing. Banks asked her to recall the most unexpected "Julie Bishop flex" she'd ever pulled in a room full of "men in suits". "Sitting around a table with all men to discuss a proposal and trying unsuccessfully to get a word in," Bishop replied. "So waiting until they all agree with each other and are about to move on, then putting my hand up to say, 'There's a fundamental flaw in this. We'll need to start from the beginning, and here's why'." When asked about a time she nearly lost composure in Parliament from laughing, Bishop recounted being caught on live TV playing "rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock" with former Cabinet Minister Christopher Pyne while waiting for Question Time. "We then received a text from staff saying, 'You're on TV – stop it!'" she said. Banks, who recently launched her SMiZE & DREAM ice cream brand with a flagship store in Sydney's Darling Harbour, ended the chat by making plans with Bishop for their next girls' getaway. "I bonded with you in such a beautiful way when we had that first dinner at Nobu at the Crown. What should we do on our next girls' hangout?" she asked. Bishop replied: "I love that we connected so easily with lots to talk about, so I can't wait for our trip to Margaret River to explore the wine region and just hang out for a few relaxing days."

Tyra Banks shares obsession with one food after addressing her new look
Former America's Next Top Model star Tyra Banks has revealed her 'excessive' love for ice-cream as she launches a brand new business following her move to Australia Tyra Banks has revealed she will eat ice cream multiple times per day as she embraces her new passion for the frozen desert. While the 51-year-old is best known for her work as a model, she has pivoted to become an ice cream proprietor in Australia. The American star has shipped her family Down Under and opened a store named SMiZE & DREAM - which has a nod to her modelling tip of smiling with the eyes. The America's Next Top Model icon has also explained that she is something of an ice-cream addict. Having moved to Australia, the businesswoman and mother has been enjoying getting to know her neighbourhood by way of the multitude of ice cream parlours in the area. And while many might be tempted to stop off at one shop to pick up a treat, Tyra has revealed she will attend no less than three. The model went on to explain that she considers no amount of ice cream too little or too excessive. Opening up to Australia's Daily Telegraph, she said: "We go full-on ice cream mode. We don't stop at one - we hit Messina, Anita, and Royal Copenhagen. Yep. Three. In a row. "Call it excessive - we call it Saturday. We're an ice cream family. And when you love frozen cream, there's no such thing as too much." Tyra has opened her SMiZE & DREAM parlour in Sydney's Darling Harbour this month and has been promoting her new business. She also told the Daily Mail Australia how much she is loving her new life Down Under. She said: "I was coming for about a year and a half and just fell in love with it,' she said. 'And I said, should we make this move? And here we are. "I love Darling Harbour because of this park. Tumbalong Park is magical... I have friends that live an hour and a half away and on the weekends they drive here just to go to the water and put their feet in with the kids. "There's a playground for older kids, one for younger kids, Darling Square nearby, the harbour – it just felt natural." She went on to explain she named one of her new ice cream flavours after herself. Describing the salted sweet cream, butter-roasted pecans and savoury caramel butter flavour, she gushed: "My favourite flavour is called Tyra's Favourite – very creative, isn't it? ... It's not your traditional ice cream taste – it has this surprising, rich sensation in the mouth." Last year, Tyra opened up about her modelling past and future as she prepared to return to the catwalk for a Victoria's Secret show. In an empowering message she said: "50-year-old women, insecure women - I just felt like there was more, and I look at the playback and I'm like, boom, boom, boom. "I was stomping because I felt like I was a vessel more so than it's just all about me. It was different." She also discussed her thoughts on the way her body has changed over the years, saying: "Also what was different is my boobies were like 10 times bigger because I was about 40-50 pounds (18-22 kg) heavier on this runway than when I retired. So I was like, 'Don't fall out, don't fall out.'"

What to wear this summer and the best L.A. vintage finds, according to stylist Bin X. Nguyen
Bin X. Nguyen came of age in the mid-2000s at the height of celebrity paparazzi culture, watching MTV, poring over Teen Vogue, and following icons like Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie from his bedroom in the suburbs of San Jose. 'Escaping the mundane life of suburbia was really what influenced my childhood,' Nguyen says. 'When I was 8 or 9, watching 'America's Next Top Model' with the icon that is Tyra Banks and watching 'Project Runway,' I was really inspired by fashion. You saw how glamorous and unglamorous fashion is, and somehow this world was so enticing to me.' 'The Devil Wears Prada' came out when Nguyen was a teen, which he describes as the 'catalyst' for his time as a fashion and culture writer at his college newspaper, and later, Santa Barbara Magazine. While he was there, he met stylists on the cover shoots. Between witnessing their creativity in real time and consuming media like 'The Rachel Zoe Project,' Nguyen decided to move to Los Angeles and begin his career as a professional wardrobe stylist. These days, Nguyen is known for styling everyone's favorite musicians, from Katseye to Role Model to Phoebe Bridgers, with plenty of actors in between — think Lana Condor, Jonathan Davis, Laysla De Oliveira and Alexandra Shipp. He stresses the importance of cultivating a sense of identity through style: 'I just want to create beautiful work that inspires people. At the end of the day, I want to make lasting images that people will reference.' He often pulls from his Vietnamese heritage, drawing from the layering of an áo dài while working. 'Referencing old Vietnamese photos of the '70s and '60s is really important to bring my culture to the forefront of fashion,' Nguyen says. 'Having little touches that speak to you, whether it be your jewelry or your hat or your scarves, all these things are important to you as a special, dynamic being.' Nguyen jokes that his personal style doesn't always give L.A. 'It's L.A., we live in athleisure. Don't get me wrong, when I do returns, I'm in athleisure. But when I go out, it's important to serve a look,' Nguyen says. 'You want to serve, as the girls say, c—. That's a part of L.A. that's very niche. L.A. people will go out in like jeans and a T-shirt, whereas I'm in vintage designer clothes and a 4-inch heel, you know?' My most memorable shoot was with an NBA player named Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. We shot in a hotel room super quick. I love a pop girl and an athlete — I think my dream clients are both. I just want to show off body and skin, and I want them to look ultra-cool. One shoot I'm most proud of is with Katseye for the cover of Teen Vogue. It's so special to work with a group of diverse girls, and they're so unique and talented. The aesthetic was the early 2000s, beachy, young, fresh, like Abercrombie. That's something that I grew up seeing all the time, like the models on the Abercrombie bags and going to Hollister and seeing their design. So they wanted to build that into this 2025 version of it, but diverse and cool. I think we definitely accomplished that. It was also a full circle moment for me because when I was 15 and 16, Teen Vogue was the magazine that I subscribed to. I would collect the copies every month and there's still a stack of them in my closet, so it's very exciting to have that moment now. A moment where I felt like I made it was getting to go to Pharrell's first runway show for Louis Vuitton. There was a choir that came out and sang this amazing song and Rihanna and ASAP Rocky were sitting across from me. Tears just started falling from my eyes, and I was like, this is part of the dream that I had of being a part of this life. Just to be welcomed into this space feels so crazy to me. Some of my dream people to work with are photographers like Steven Meisel and Inez & Vinoodh. I would love to make beautiful images with Nick Knight. In terms of celebrities, Zoë Kravitz, Bella Hadid, Nicole Kidman — but at the same time, I want to work with new talent like Tyla and Chappell Roan. They all have a sense of identity. I think it's so important to have your own style and your own personal creative ideas of what you want to look like. Those girls have really honed in and cultivated their identity. And when you look at something, especially if you look at a dress or a piece of art, and you associate that art or that garment with that girl. I want to create that with my own client one day. Three words to describe my own day-to-day style are sensuality, preppy and edgy. I love American sportswear. Ralph Lauren's a huge influence of mine, but there's always an edge to it. There's like a little secret that's elevated, and you are only going to know when they want to tell you. There's a mystery. An ideal day in L.A. is taking an hour to do a yoga class or go walk in the park. I hike once a week for two hours. I love my job, but it's also very important to take care of your mental health and be in nature and find gratitude. There's one called the Vermont Canyon Tennis Courts hike and you go all the way to Dante's Peak. As an Aries, my personal style is ever-changing because my personality is so spontaneous. You just want to do things all the time. You never stop. If you meet an Aries, they're like, 'Let's go here, let's do this, let's go there.' I think that plays into a lot of my work and my clothes. I'm always thinking, what can be different in terms of this image? My emotional support clothing item is a 4-inch boot. I'm not the tallest person — and when I wear my boots I'm still not the tallest person — but it brings in a feeling of confidence where I can stomp somewhere. Sometimes that's all you need, and it changes your posture, and you just feel like you can take anything down. If I was a cocktail, I would be a St. Germain Spritz. It's called a Hugo Spritz, but the core of it is St. Germain, Prosecco and club soda, and on a summer day with mint and lemon … It's so yummy. I wish I had some in my fridge. It is the most refreshing drink. And I'm anti-Aperol. It's all about Hugo, like you have to experience the Hugo Spritz. Your life will change. This summer, everyone will be wearing longer-length shorts. More people are wearing board shorts now, it's not above the knee anymore. And baby tees and Havaianas flip-flops. If last summer was brat summer, this summer is where I'm going to be really stupid for the last time. It's from personal experience. This is the last summer of my 20s. I just feel like I can get away with certain things in my 20s before I turn 30, so this summer is going to be crazy and stupid for me. When I turn 30 in April, it's going to be smart spring, like business savvy, strategically everything. But this summer is going to give, let's puke. Let's drink a s— ton of alcohol and puke, because I have one summer left to do that. The best vintage finds are at the Long Beach Antique Market. On the third Sunday of the month, there's this lady named Veronica. You will find the most incredible vintage. The look that I wore to the Vuitton show was from her vintage stall. And I love the Goodwill on San Fernando in Atwater Village where you buy by the pound. You literally have to come in with gloves and your headphones because it's such an intense experience, but it's so cheap and I have found gems from that Goodwill. It's so unserious for people to be like, 'Fashion is everything, fashion is my life.' Fashion is a major cause of global warming, and it can create a lot of damage in the world. It's not brain surgery, but you'll meet people that make it feel like brain surgery and that's when it's not fun anymore. I just want to have fun and create beautiful images. Something I wish people knew about the fashion and styling industry is that 75% is hard work and schlepping, you're carrying things all day, every day. It's a lot of logistics. But 25% is glamorous. There are moments where you're like, 'Wow, these spaces that I'm in are actually insane, and I'm so grateful to be here.' But the 75% is not fun or pretty. A lot of people don't know that when they get in, and they run from it really quickly. I do it because I love it and I'm inspired by it. It's something I've wanted to do my entire life, and I can attest to it with the amount of Teen Vogues in my closet in my childhood bedroom.
