USA TODAY Studio IX is on site with Wasserman for The Collective’s WNBA All-Star VIP party. We asked WNBA stars of today and the future what they would never be caught wearing.
INDIANAPOLIS — Fashion and culture collided with basketball on Friday during the 2025 WNBA All-Star weekend.
USA TODAY’s Studio IX was on site with Wasserman Basketball and Ally for The Collective’s WNBA All-Star VIP party. Throughout the night, several of the biggest names in women’s basketball stopped by to walk the red carpet, take photos and mix and mingle. While in attendance, USA TODAY asked players questions that many people want to know the answers to, such as, “What is something you would never be caught dead wearing?”
“Bootcut leggings,” Dallas Wings rookie Paige Bueckers said, smiling. “Sorry. No offense.”
Indiana Fever guard and All-Star 3-point contest participant Lexie Hull also offered her thoughts. “Low-rise jeans,” Hull revealed, shaking her head and also smiling through clear disdain. “I hate them.”
Notre Dame Fighting Irish guard Hannah Hidalgo joined USA TODAY on the red carpet to share her fashion ick, and the answer did not disappoint. “The shark boots,” Hidalgo explained, chuckling. When prompted for clarity on why shark boots made the list of things to never wear, Hidalgo eventually quipped, “Just not my cup of tea.”
Sending thoughts and condolences to lovers of bootcut leggings, low-rise jeans and shark boots everywhere.
