This year’s WNBA playoffs are many things. Like always, they’re a wildly competitive, highly anticipated display of the best teams women’s basketball has to offer. The New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx were on a collision course for a Finals rematch in the second round until the Libs were upset by Phoenix, A’ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces have their eyes on a championship return after Wilson’s demolition of the Seattle Storm, and the short-handed Indiana Fever won a playoff series for the first time in a decade.
But also—and this part is crucial—the playoffs have provided a runway for some of the strongest looks of the season. Several familiar faces from our annual Most Stylish WNBA Player bracket are postseason participants, and they brought some bangers out of the closet. Each of the eight playoff teams has a style goddess or two on their roster, and there seems to be some sort of league-wide agreement to put that shit on when they arrive to the games. (Oh, to be in the WNBA fashion group chats.)
In the Phoenix-New York first-round series, a slew of All-Star veterans showed off their designer threads; meanwhile, the showdown between Indiana and Atlanta introduced some fresh faces to the conversation. Out west, the Seattle and Vegas series went the distance, giving Wilson and Skylar Diggins three opportunities to bring their well-documented drip to the pregame tunnel. And while the Golden State Valkyries’ season—a great story in itself; the franchise qualified for the playoffs in its first year of existence—ended in a sweep at the hands of the Lynx, one of their bench players left a major sartorial impact on the series.
Now that we’re down to four teams, the stakes have risen, both in the playoff bracket and the entrance to each arena. The semifinals are not just Las Vegas vs. Indiana and Minnesota vs. Phoenix, they’re a certified fit off.
We will update this gallery as the playoffs continue to unfold. Here are the most creative, inspirational, and flat out awesome fits of the 2025 WNBA playoffs.
