Angel Reese rocks a custom diamond grill and backless sequined dress at the 2024 WNBA Draft
Angel Reese entered the WNBA in style.
The former LSU basketball star arrived at the 2024 draft on Monday night in a shimmering low-cut dress complete with a custom diamond grill.
Reese turned heads when she hit the orange carpet in a semi-sheer Bronx & Banco dress ($1,450) covered in beads.
The 21-year-old made a statement in the sleeveless design, which featured an open back, a plunging neckline and a hood.
The self-proclaimed “Bayou Barbie” added extra sparkle with a white gold and diamond grill made by jeweler Essense Martin, who told TMZ that Reese’s bottom grill was composed of nearly flawless VVS diamonds, which range in price from $425 to $650 $ per tooth. According to Al-Jawahiri’s website.
Along with the expensive diamond-encrusted piece, Angel also commissioned two other custom grills from Martin — one for each side of the top of her mouth.
While both tooth caps feature the same white gold and diamonds, the left side features a fun heart design. Additionally, Martin also surprised the star with another custom net bottom spelling out her last name as a gift to making the WNBA.
The 6’3″ striker showed off her new jewelry on Instagram Story before arriving at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York.
“Details,” she captioned a close-up photo of the decorations.
