Olivia Nelson-Ododa’s let us follow along for the opening weekend of the WNBA. After recently returning to the Connecticut Sun, the basketball player is bringing fashion to the court with stylist Aryeh Lappin. For the first game of the season, Nelson wore Courrèges paired with Tory Burch heels and Versace sunglasses. The look set the precedent for the season, expect more fashion-forward game day fits from Nelson-Ododa. The night was a special one, marking the 30th anniversary of the WNBA. Through her digital diary, she gives us a look into her getting ready process, thoughts, and feelings leading up to the event.

“Getting ready to head to the game. One more touch
up for the lips.“

“Final fit check – 5 minutes before we have to get out
the door!”

“Who said I couldn’t be 6’8” today???”

“The final look! A round of applause for the dress.”

“Sunglasses are a must. The bigger the better.”

“Shout out to the sweetest fans! Love you guys.”

“Starting the 30th season of the WNBA the right
way.”

“Out of the dress and into sweats. Time to warm
up before the game at Barclay’s Center. Amazing
energy, one of my favorite arenas to play in.”
