Angel Reese turned the WNBA tunnel into a runway for her first home game in Atlanta.

Prior to facing the Aces for a Sunday matinee, the Dream forward walked around State Farm Arena in a stunning black leather two-piece set that seemingly featured metal hooks as a compliment to the outfit.

Reese styled the outfit with heeled black boots and classic black sunglasses.

However, her look wasn’t any sort of good luck charm for Reese.

The former LSU star scored just nine points, shooting 1-for-8 from the field, across 29 minutes in the Dream’s 85-84 loss to the WNBA defending champions.

She grabbed eight rebounds and tallied three assists but also committed eight of the team’s 13 turnovers.

After the final buzzer, Reese was a minus-13 on the court for Atlanta (2-1).

Reese was one of three Dream starters to not score more than 15 points.

Allisha Gray carried the team with 25.

For the Aces, A’ja Wilson and Chelsea Gray scored 20 and 21 points, respectively.

Sunday was the Dream’s first loss of the season after logging wins over the Lynx and Wings, and it marked Reese’s worst performance so far with her new team.

Before Sunday, she recorded a double-double in each game and at most shot 50 percent from the field.

The two-time All-Star was traded to the Dream from the Sky during the offseason.

The move was expected after things got heated between the two parties at the end of the 2025 season.

Reese threatened to go in a “different direction” while making digs at her teammates in September with Chicago near the end of a brutal 10-34 season.

She claimed it was a “non-negotiable” for the team to get “great players” to be successful.

“I am very vocal about what we need and what I want,” Reese told the Chicago Tribune. “I’d like to be here for my career, but if things don’t pan out, obviously I might have to move in a different direction and do what’s best for me. But while I am here, I’m going to try to stay open-minded about what I have here and maximize that as much as I can.”
