Paige Bueckers, the rising basketball star, has recently disclosed her hairstyling intentions for her journey in the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA). The anticipation surrounding her debut in the professional league spiked after the Dallas Wings secured her as the top pick in the WNBA draft.
Known for her signature double braid during her time as a point guard for the UConn Huskies, Bueckers shared with PEOPLE that she is contemplating a fresh look for her WNBA matches. Expressing the desire to give her hair a break and some breathing space, the athlete hinted at opting for a sleek ponytail or a bun instead of her trademark braids.
Prior to the WNBA draft in New York City, Bueckers dazzled in two distinctive outfits, showcasing her style versatility. For her orange carpet appearance, she donned a custom three-piece suit adorned with crystal details by Coach. Completing her look with Coach accessories, including a Large Oversized Kisslock Frame Bag and platform loafers, Bueckers exuded elegance and sophistication.
During the draft event, Bueckers sported loose waves while clad in a black shimmery suit, deviating from her usual braided hairstyle. Subsequently, she switched up her look by tying her hair back when she donned another striking black ensemble featuring sequined lapels on the blazer and straight-leg pants. Enhancing her attire with layered silver necklaces, statement rings and hoop earrings, Bueckers effortlessly showcased her fashion flair.
Emotions ran high as Bueckers celebrated her selection as the first overall pick by the Dallas Wings, with tears of joy reflecting her immense gratitude and excitement. Surrounded by her supportive family, including her parents, Bob Bueckers and Amy Fuller, and siblings Drew, Ryan, and Lauren, the draft night became a heartwarming affair for the young basketball prodigy.
Reflecting on her journey and achievements, Bueckers expressed her unwavering belief in dreaming big, hard work, faith, and divine guidance. She acknowledged the pivotal role played by her teammates, coaching staff, and family in her success, encapsulating the essence of teamwork and support in her professional endeavours.
