UConn star Azzi Fudd was in attendance during the ESPYs, the biggest awards night for sports, and she was seen sporting a lavender dress as she arrived on the red carpet. This has gotten many people talking, but one of those left tongue-tied is her “girlfriend” and former Huskies teammate, Paige Bueckers.
The WNBA All-Star starter had a one emoji when reacting to the photo of Fudd in that elegant dress on her Instagram Stories. The two have a running bit about being each other’s girlfriends.
Fudd has been known to glam things up, dressing up at occasions when she is off the court and was even almost unrecognizable during the WNBA draft, where her girlfriend, Bueckers, was picked No. 1 overall by the Dallas Stars. She then changed outfits during Bueckers’ after-party, showing that she does indeed have an acute fashion sense.
As for her relationship with Bueckers, Azzi Fudd herself has referred to herself as “Paige Bueckers’ Girlfriend” multiple times, including sporting an iPhone cover which outright states “Paige Bueckers’ Girlfriend.” She has been spotted attending several Dallas Wings games throughout the summer and was seen holding hands with the Dallas Wings rookie several times.
The two have had chemistry on and off the court, appearing in an Oreo ad together, and of course, leading the Huskies to a national championship last April. UConn’s duo has split up for now, especially as Bueckers was already in her senior year and entered the WNBA, while Fudd, who had a redshirt year, is staying for another year with the Huskies, though this one is her last as this is her last year of eligibility.
Azzi Fudd Is the One Who Makes Fashion Choices For ‘Girlfriend’ Paige Bueckers
Meanwhile, it is Azzi Fudd who has come out as the more fashionable of the couple, with her stunning lavender dress at the ESPYs and her black dress at the WNBA draft as Paige Bueckers’ +1. The Dallas Wings star has revealed that Fudd is also responsible for some of her fashion choices, including the shoes she wears.
“I love a pretty shoe,” Bueckers said. “I put a collection of Books together and actually let Azzi choose my shoe.”
Bueckers currently does not have any shoe deal yet, though her go-to is usually a Book 1, which is Devin Booker’s signature shoe.
