2026 WNBA Draft Drip Check: Flau'jae, Azzi Fudd make high fashion statements

If you think the WNBA Draft can't get anymore stylish, think again.

Two seasons ago, Angel Reese wowed with a custom grill and a sparkly Rihanna-inspired gown. Last year, Paige Bueckers impressed with not one, but two custom suit looks.

In 2026, the players are going even harder. Coach sponsored the orange carpet and made some major statements with outfits for some of the top picks. One star wore a high fashion look straight off the runway for a brand we just learned about

This draft class especially showed that each player is more than an athlete through their style selections, including one remarkable handbag. There were plenty of other accessories that made these looks next level.

Here is the 2026 WNBA Draft Drip Check:

Marta Suárez

Marta Suárez was fiey in a bright red suit that featured a cropped jacket and an undone tie, which we love. But what really made this look stand out is her black handbag that features a striking image of an eye with a splash of WNBA orange to represent the next chapter of her career. The TCU forward painted the accessory herself!

Azzi Fudd

Azzi Fudd continued the tradition of wearing not one, but two looks for her big night. The UCONN guard started off on the orange carpet with a slinky silver gown from Coach that had black accents.

Inside the auditorium, she switched to a metallic bronze gown from Retrofête that had a feathery geometric pattern. She even switched nails to go with the look!

Not to mention she closed out the night in a flirty little pink ensemble again from Coach for her after party.

We can thank stylist Sydnee Paige for all three incredible looks.

Kiki Rice

Kiki Rice went an edgier route in an all-black ensemble. This was also a Coach look. She went with separates — a structured crop top and a high-waisted floor-length skirt. What really made this look stand out is the luxe leather jacket, which she wore off the shoulders like the cool girl she is.

Erica Wheeler

Talk about swag on infinity! Erica Wheeler was one of one in this super fly look styled by Miguel Moss, who put everything together in 12 hours. The fit was WÀNGDA and featured expert layering with a shiny purple silk shirt. A patterned scarf belt really caught our attention.

Raven Johnson

Raven Johnson broke the mold by not going with a gown or a suit. The South Carolina guard opted for a short blazer dress from Coach styled by Brittany Hampton. With the plaid, stars and stripes, it's a masterclass in mixed prints. Diamond jewelry and simple black accessories gave this look excellent balance.

Cotie McMahon

Cotie McMahon went with the school girl look for the WNBA Draft and she pulled it off very well. Stylist Kylie Gelfand put her in an excellent-fitting double-breasted blazer dress with a tie. What made this look elite was the accessories. The white socks with strappy black heels instantly stood out on the orange carpet. But the duality of leather racing gloves with a bedazzled clutch was art.

Flau'jae Johnson

You already know we have so much love for Flau'jae! She has broken so much ground as an athlete and music artist. The LSU guard put a big exclamation point on her fashion resume with this look styled by Elly Karamoh. It's off the runway from Los Angeles-based, Algerian-bred brand Bent Kahina. The fit is impeccable and the cutouts are flawless. The cherry on top is the fur stole. This is the definition of Hollywood glam.
