In a photo shared to her Instagram Story today, the 22-year-old is seen courtside, wearing a large Vogue Balenciga sweater, denim jacket, and blue purse. At the time of its original posting, many fans simply believed this was one of her signature looks — as she always steps out dressed to the nines. But now, we know this look has a special meaning.

“I wore this VOGUE shirt literally the day after I shot my cover & no one knew,” Reese wrote in text overlaying the photo.

The Chicago Sky forward originally wore this fit at a Chicago Bulls game on Wednesday, Oct. 30, 2024. Evidently, this look brought some good luck to the Bulls, as they beat the Orlando Magic 102-99.

During her Vogue interview, Reese revealed that she’s always been passionate about both sports and fashion. She even dished about her style inspirations. 

“I was always in my mom’s closet, putting on her stuff,” Reese said. “I liked to carry a purse. Hair done. I wanted to look put together. I still do.”
