It was her third time winning the award, but her first time with wholesale support (and the first time since 2006 that any player has achieved the feat).

But the impression that she is leaving on the WNBA isn’t simply a matter of on-court play and her resulting accolades. Of course, those achievements are integral to establishing her position in league history. Upon retirement, she will be remembered for feats like her unanimous MVP award.

And that’s for good reason, too. In addition to her impressive basketball play this year, the 28-year-old has likewise taken to putting on a show ahead of tip-off. This season, Wilson has taken on a handful of the best trends, turning them into stunning pre-game fashion. For example, earlier this season she embraced schoolgirl chic in the form of a pleated skirt and white button-down. And just recently, she donned an acid wash green denim set, which made for an edgy game-day style.

Her final look for round one of the WNBA playoffs is likewise a testament to her impressive sense of style. Ahead of the Las Vegas Aces Sept. 24 matchup with the Seattle Storm, Wilson arrived to the arena in a stunning dark wash denim midi dress with chic leather bustier detailing. The number, which she paired with suede boots, a Chanel handbag and black sunglasses, came courtesy of American fashion designer Sergio Hudson’s fall-winter 2024 collection.
