The LSU Lady Tigers are the reigning women's college basketball champions. One of the team's superstar players, Angel Reese, has enjoyed a whirlwind over the past month.

Reese has signed multiple name, image and likeness deals since she was named the NCAA women's basketball tournament's Most Outstanding Player. 

The LSU forward, also known as the "Bayou Barbie," will reach another milestone this week — her 21st birthday. 

On Tuesday, she took to social media to reveal she will be riding around the LSU campus in style as the proud owner of a new Mercedes-Benz.

"BIG BODY BENZ BARBIE!" Reese wrote on Twitter, along with eyeball, heart, and celebration emoji.

"Why not get a new car when it’s your 21st birthday week??? Thank you @mercedesbenzbatonrouge for helping me purchase my NEW CAR!! I wouldn’t be the BAYOU BARBIE without @matchpconnect @bayoutraditions #BAYOUBARBIETURNS21 #GODDID."

Reese's rise to stardom did not come without controversy. In the fourth quarter of the LSU-Iowa title game, Reese flashed the "you can’t see me" taunt by placing her hand in front of her face.

Resse also pointed to her ring finger late in the game to show where her national championship ring would eventually be placed. Both gestures were directed at Hawkeyes star Caitlin Clark. 

Clark later said she doesn't have any issues with Reese, that the two are simply competitors.
