Paige Bueckers is finding her groove on the court and with her fits off of it.

The Dallas Wings rookie sensation was supposed to have another showdown with the Indiana Fever's Caitlin Clark, but given the superstar two-time WNBA All-Star is out indefinitely with a groin injury, the reigning UConn national champion might have been the biggest name in lights.

Paige Buckets delivered another outstanding performance in the dramatic 81-80 upset on the road at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, finishing with a stat-stuffer night: 16 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds, and 2 steals. Clark was seen yelling at an official after the game.

The 23 year old also had a highlight-worthy self assist before setting up teammate Maddy Siegrist for the bucket and a foul.

Even with the wild ending to the game, the craziest part of the night might have been the bold fashion choice she rocked before the game with her WNBA tunnel fit.

While not technically orange, the terra cotta TOMBOGO Girbogo jeans were certainly a fashion statement with the simple white top. You can buy your own for a cool $250.

Bueckers has been finding her fashion footing lately as well, especially when the UConn legend and her former bestie, now girlfriend Azzi Fudd slayed their looks during WNBA All-Star weekend.

In an otherwise disappointing rookie campaign from a team perspective, although now with one win more than Angel Reese' Chicago Sky, Bueckers is showing off her full potential in every way.
