Liatu King has always been a presence—on the court, in the tunnel, and now in the stylist’s chair. The Notre Dame forward recently took her fashion game to a new level by styling her head coach, Niele Ivey, for a game-day appearance. The result? A moment of pure synergy between two Black women who understand power, presence, and polish.

Ivey, known for her sideline style, trusted King with full creative direction—and King delivered. The look featured a striking green two-piece suit from London-based brand Safiyaa, paired with bold lime green heels for a fresh, fearless pop. The tailored silhouette and clean lines spoke to Ivey’s elegance, while the color story gave it that unmistakable King edge.

It wasn’t just a fit—it was a statement. A player styling her coach flipped the usual script, showing that influence can move both ways. For King, fashion is about identity, confidence, and connection. Dressing Ivey wasn’t about trends; it was about showing up for someone who consistently shows up for her.

In a space where the tunnel is becoming as expressive as the game itself, this moment stood out. It highlighted the creativity within the women’s game and the bonds that form when leadership meets trust—and a little bit of lime green heat.

With one look, King reminded us that style is another form of storytelling. And this story? It was tailored to perfection. Want more moments where basketball meets fashion? Follow us at @tunnelfitspodcast and tap in at rpmediawbb.com for the latest in women’s hoops style.
