Vogue Should Have Featured All Of The WNBA On Cover, Not Just Angel Reese
WNBA forward Angel Reese is the latest cover girl for Vogue Magazine. In the edition, the magazine celebrates Reese's passion for both basketball and fashion.
"It’s always been both: basketball and fashion," Reese told the outlet. "I was a fashion girlie from young too. That desire to look finished applies on and off the court: Reese earned her Bayou Barbie nickname at Louisiana State thanks to her penchant for glamming up for games."
