In honor of her decision to depart LSU for the WNBA Draft, Angel Reese, also known as the “Bayou Barbie,” posed for Vogue. This week, the budding basketball legend announced the news in an exclusive interview with the magazine, following in the footsteps of other star athletes like Serena Williams, who shared her retirement news through the outlet. While modeling designer pieces from Diesel, Christian Louboutin, Wales Bonner and more, Reese reflected on her basketball journey thus far.
Entering the collegiate basketball scene, Reese quickly made her mark on the court, becoming known for fierce plays and her signature long lashes, flowing tresses and statement nails. As she and the Louisiana State University women’s basketball team collected wins on the court, Reese also gained notoriety off the court, becoming one of the highest-earning student-athletes through NIL (name, image and likeness) deals. While simultaneously signing deals with brands like Mielle Organics, Beats by Dre, Amazon and more, the 21-year-old faced major public scrutiny for her choices on and off the court.
