If the Sky star and fashion influencer was looking to bury the Lynx after an upset win on Saturday with her sophisticated all-black funeral fit, it was a misfire as Minnesota and Napheesa Collier got their revenge, 91-78.
After a big weekend of being on the cover of NBA2K26 while launching her Reebok signature shoe, it was back to reality, despite another double-double with 22 points and 10 rebounds in the loss. To make it even worse, rookie Maddy Westbeld outshined the two-time WNBA All-Star with a criss-cross, crop-top showstopper.

While the Notre Dame rookie hasn't seen much playing time, including the dreaded "DNP" tonight, she has found inspiration from her fashion maven teammates like Reese, and this unique look won the night.

Despite the loss, social media noticed the Sky's great red-carpet game.
"Mannn the two rookies not playing with y'all at all! Maddy and HVL super 🔥🔥🔥," one user posted on the Sky's official Instagram post.
Van Lith had a studious chic look accentuated by a denim miniskirt and a little criss-cross of her own with the white heels.
