At the 2025 WNBA Draft, Paige Bueckers, the standout UConn guard and Dallas Wings’ No. 1 overall pick, made a memorable fashion statement.
She donned a custom Coach power suit adorned with 200,000 glass crystals. The suit comprised an oversized blazer, a Y2K-inspired vest tank top, and wide-leg slacks. The ensemble was accessorized with a black leather Coach clutch, platform shoes, and a black cat-eye gel manicure.
“My Goat”: Bueckers’ Tribute to Stylist Brittany Hampton
Bueckers gave a special shoutout to her stylist Brittany Hampton during the draft. She posted a photo with Hampton on Instagram and called her “My goat” – meaning the Greatest of All Time.
Hampton has helped shape Bueckers’ public style by mixing athletic and high-fashion looks. You could see their teamwork in Bueckers’ draft outfit—a custom Coach ensemble featuring a sparkly black oversized suit, loafers, and a small purse.
Bueckers switched things up from her usual game-day braids for her beauty look. She went with long beachy waves done by Hayley Logan. Her makeup artist, Billie Gene, gave her blurred eyeliner, nude eyeshadow, and glossy pink lips.
The whole look came together nicely and caught the attention of fans and fashion lovers.
A History of Stylish Collaborations
The partnership between Bueckers and Hampton is not new. They first collaborated in a StockX campaign, and Bueckers was intrigued by Hampton’s creative approach to stylizing athletes. They have since worked together many times, redefining sports fashion beyond the ordinary.
Bueckers and Hampton’s most notable experience was the 2024 WNBA Draft; though not a prospect that year, Bueckers made a splash with a stark all-white outfit designed by Hampton and Louis Vuitton.
Bueckers wore a fully coordinated ensemble with a monogrammed button-down, soft Louis Vuitton Pochette Métis East Wing handbag, and bright white shoes. Bueckers’ outfit was well-received due to its contemporary take on traditional fashion elements. Hampton envisions what fashion can do through storytelling.
She designs to build a world and needs to develop her clients’ confidence and brand through knowing who they are and want to be. This was crucial to Bueckers’ overall branding and was a way for Bueckers to show who she was and her strength as a player away from the game.
As Bueckers kicks off her pro career with the Dallas Wings, she’s already turning heads—not just for her game but for her style. Her draft night look was a total moment, setting the tone for what could be a significant off-court presence.
She teamed up with designer Hampton to create a look that mixed athletic edge with high fashion, and it sounds like that partnership’s just getting started. She’s out to show that you can be a serious baller and still bring major style.
But make no mistake—fashion aside, Bueckers is all about hoops. Her years at UConn sharpened her skills; now, she’s ready to make her mark in the WNBA. Whether you’re following her for her game or fits, there’s much to be excited about.
