The Best Tunnel Fits of the 2025 WNBA Season, So Far
Take a look at the leagues best players and their looks.
There’s a running joke that no one watches the WNBA – that was until last year. From A’ja Wilson’s custom looks to Angel Reese‘s love for high fashion – oh, and don’t forget Ellie the Elephant’s influencer status – the WNBA tunnel has become the girls’ runway.
If you’re new to the sport, and frankly, just here for the fits, the tunnel refers to the walkway from the locker room to the court. Here, you’ll see star players like Reese, Paige Bueckers and DiJonai Carrington effortlessly merging style and sport, before hitting the court.
As the 2025 WNBA season kicks off, there’s already a 113% increase in interest, with ticket prices soaring to over $1k USD. Interest is growing – and it’s not just because of the game. The fashion moments leading up to the game range from androgynous to hyper-feminine while also tapping trends we know and love. As league interest grows, the tunnel gives the girls a chance to showcase their true selves through style.
The star of tunnel fashion this season is by far the center for the Connecticut Sun, Olivia Nelson-Ododa. Despite only being a week into the season, she’s already elevated the simple all-black look with a structured, larger-than-life co-ord. Elsewhere, Dallas Wings’ guard Carrington enjoys tapping several aesthetics. Whether she’s serving functional fashion in athleisure or rocking Western vibes with cowhide, she pairs it with diamonds or her Tiffany necklace.

A’ja Wilson
Proclaimed the best dressed of the opening season by ESPN, Wilson started the season strong with a Nike collab, releasing her first design. Remaining true to her love of preppy fashion and streetwear, Wilson wore a silk collared co-ord her opening weekend, with black sock boots.
Angel Reese
If she’s not at the MET Gala or on the cover of Vogue, she’s on the court or making the tunnel her runway. As shared earlier, Reese’s style is the epitome of high fashion and it dates back to her childhood. Despite being a few weeks into the 2025 season, the Chicago Sky guard has already pulled several looks, the best being her pantsuit — except she ditched the pants for shorts.
DiJonai Carrington
If there’s one aesthetic Carrinton loves, it’s Western. Typically in a cowboy hat, the Dallas Wings player brings her vision to life with key accessories and animal print. Before a recent game against the Connecticut Sun, however, Carrington switched it up with a fire Y2k-inspired fit. Donning a white I AM GIA set, she paired it with a white bandana, sneakers — and her diamonds, of course.
Isabelle Harrison
Ranked 15th in the WNBA in rebounding, Harrison is dominating on and off the court. Most recently, the NY Liberty guard recently partnered with Swarovski for their tunnel walk, wearing a Jordan Air diamond necklace.
Kelsey Plum
A lover of monochrome fits, Plum typically dons an all-black look. So far this season, Plum has switched it up with a pop of white and printed microshorts. To elevate the look while maintaining her masc style, Plum wore knee-high stiletto boots and a boxy cut T-shirt with a train.
Olivia Nelson-Ododa
As mentioned above, Connecticut Sun forward, Nelson-Ododa holds the crown for the best tunnel fits — every season. Whether she’s subverting the usual little black dress or keeping it cute, schoolgirl style, her tunnel looks are always hyperfeminine and unique.
Paige Bueckers
Bueckers has already secured magazine covers and New York Fashion Week seats, and it’s with good reason. Her style effortlessly blends feminine and masculine influences, resulting in the calmest tunnel fits. Most recently, she was styled by NY icon Dapper Dan, rocking a pink and orange sweatsuit and Nike’s.
Rickea Jackson
One thing this Los Angeles Sparks player will do is make a statement. From chic miniskirts to wearable art, Jackson’s style is a bold fusion of classy and baddie. Most recently, the rising star wore a sculptured set by designer Corii Burns. Channeling high fashion, she wore dramatic lashes with metallic liner and a tousled bun.
Rae Burrell
While you’re here, you have to see this pretty-in-pink Mercedes-Benz.
