Alongside them, several top 5 seeds have faced upsets, with the Liberty now riding a 4-5 losing streak. Meanwhile, the Indiana Fever\u2019s active roster continues to dwindle, and Sophie Cunningham keeps racking up fines, though her podcast seems to be thriving. Thankfully, with the trade deadline reached, the player movement should slow down, allowing teams to focus on building around their foundation.<\/p>\n<p>On a brighter note, the Minnesota Lynx are getting their mojo back, and Dijonai Carrington has made her mark as a new Minnesotan and self-proclaimed \u201cfemme-bud.\u201d And WNBA history was made as well, <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/shaneyoung\/2025\/02\/25\/diana-taurasi-retires-from-the-wnba-after-20-seasons\/\" data-ga-track=\"InternalLink:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/shaneyoung\/2025\/02\/25\/diana-taurasi-retires-from-the-wnba-after-20-seasons\/\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"Diana Taurasi\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Diana Taurasi<\/a> docu-series came out on Amazon prime showcasing the plights and highs of her personal career, and the league\u2019s at large. Despite all the setbacks, one silver lining has been the league\u2019s display of some the best outfits we\u2019ve seen to date. So, while the New York Liberty may have dropped to 5th in the standings, they\u2019re still #1 in the tunnel.<\/p>\n<p>Hailey Van Lith \u2014 Chicago Sky<\/p>\n<p>LOOK WHO\u2019S BACK \ud83d\udc40@redlobster &#8211; #skytown<\/p>\n<p>Courtesy of WNBA Instagram<\/p>\n<p>Hailey Van Lith may have been relatively quiet in the tunnel recently, but this outfit makes up for any missed moments. It\u2019s been a challenging year for the rookie, with losing streaks and little development within the team, but Van Lith looks energized and ready to play in this &#8220;she was a skater boy&#8221; look. Channeling a Y2K alternative skater punk \u2014 but a contemporary casual L.A. look \u2014 she wears a pair of ultra-long, oversized grey hemmed sweatpants, paired with a 032c Workshop white long sleeve (shoutout for keeping print alive) and an Alice Hollywood hoodie draped effortlessly over her body.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s the accessories that really make this fit. A thick, studded belt, a leather multipocket black bag with a silver chain, it\u2019s super scene-y. And, of course, she completes the look with a pair of Adidas Men\u2019s Campus 00s, throwing it back to that era of skating.<\/p>\n<p>Arike Ogunbowale \u2014 Dallas Wings<\/p>\n<p>Always setting trends \ud83d\udcb0@hairitagebymindy &#8211; #WingsUp<\/p>\n<p>Courtesy of WNBA Instagram <\/p>\n<p>We needed a little more masc\u2019 energy, and Arike Ogunbowale delivers just that. While she\u2019s suiting up for a basketball game, she\u2019s fully footie\u2019d out in this kit, and the matching Kobes bring it all together. Ogunbowale wears the Women\u2019s Replica Nike Barcelona Away Jersey, a jersey that pays homage to Kobe Bryant and his &#8220;Mamba Mentality.&#8221; She pairs it with black Nike Kobe Pleated Pants and finishes the look with the Nike FC Barcelona x Kobe 4 Protro &#8216;Away Kit\u2019 sneakers. Matchy-matchy.<\/p>\n<p>Lexie Brown\u2014 Seattle Storm<\/p>\n<p>Courtesy of Lexie Brown Instagram<\/p>\n<p>Courtesy of Lexie Brown Instagram<\/p>\n<p>A debut for Lexie Brown\u2014and she comes through with a perfect 10\/10 look. She steps into the tunnel like she just walked off the set of Kimora Lee Simmons\u2019 Life in the Fab Lane. Oh, how we miss the early aughts. Brown keeps it Calabasas chic in a black long-sleeve crewneck mini dress, adding dimension with a Chanel Calfskin Quilted Flap Waist Belt Bag. And of course, the standout pieces: black fur Yeti boots and what appears to be a Juicy Couture bag, hopefully.<\/p>\n<p>Kelsey Plum \u2014 LA Sparks<\/p>\n<p>We got business in the Bay. (3)<\/p>\n<p>Courtesy of WNBA Instagram <\/p>\n<p>This week, Kelsey Plum is slipping through the tunnel, not walking, because she\u2019s drowning in a full silk look. Draped in a Kallmeyer suit, Plum wears a shiny, form-fitting, and cinched button-down, paired with slippery caprese. And of course, who could forget a mule?<\/p>\n<p>Rickea Jackson \u2014 LA Sparks<\/p>\n<p>We got business in the Bay. (4)<\/p>\n<p>Courtesy of WNBA Instagram <\/p>\n<p>Not much to say.

At least that\u2019s what she\u2019s dressed like. Nelson-Ododa has her thigh-high, high-heeled leather boots on the ground \u2014no fans \u2014 paired with a midnight black hemmed and off the shoulder trench coat. She pulls the looks together with her often-worn belt-bra, creating a quiet uniform for herself.<\/p>\n<p>Brittney Sykes \u2014 Seattle Storm<\/p>\n<p>SnapInsta.to_530628643_18520473448048360_6987166450963678094_n<\/p>\n<p>Courtesy of WNBA Instagram <\/p>\n<p>A newcomer to the Seattle Storm, but it\u2019s clear Sykes is already fitting right in\u2014thanks to her distinctive personal style. She keeps it cool, but far from quiet, in this loud orange-and-white look. Sykes wears an oversized Saint Universe jersey\u2014 jerseys are starting to become a favored look of hers both in the tunnel and on the court\u2014layered over a simple white button-down. To bring some cohesion to the look, she pairs it with clean, classic khakis. And to complete the color story, she matches her jersey with a pair of Nike Dunk Low Retro sneakers, keeping the palette on point and in regard to the WNBA, whether by intention or not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SnapInsta.to_530628643_18520473448048360_6987166450963678094_n Courtesy of WNBA Instagram It\u2019s been a rough week in the WNBA, with a string of losses&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":108497,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[73],"tags":[3691,1760,71377,99,65291,434,30340],"class_list":{"0":"post-108496","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-angel-reese","9":"tag-caitlin-clark","10":"tag-nba-tunnel","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-tunnel-fits","13":"tag-wnba","14":"tag-wnba-style"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108496","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=108496"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108496\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/108497"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=108496"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=108496"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=108496"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
