If you missed Part One, we’ve been doing something simple: putting names to the looks. Not the players, the stylists. They’re the ones sourcing the pieces, shaping the vision, and making sure every tunnel walk feels intentional. The conversation around WNBA style isn’t slowing down, so neither are we. Here’s Part Two.
Courtney Mays → Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu & Jonquel Jones
Courtney Mays is not new to this. Her footprint with the New York Liberty is hard to overstate. At the 2025 Met Gala, she coordinated looks for Breanna Stewart, Jonquel Jones, and Sabrina Ionescu — all in Sergio Hudson. A triple arrival that had nothing to do with matching and everything to do with intention. Stewart’s tunnel wardrobe under Mays reads with consistent authority: androgynous, sharp, no wasted moves. Most recently she dressed 2026 first-round pick Awa Fam Thiam for draft night in a crimson Siedres dress that commanded every camera in the room before her name was even called.
Mays has also been direct about what’s still missing in this space — specifically the brands overlooking players who don’t fit a narrow, feminine-presenting mold. She’s called the diversity in identity and gender expression within the W its superpower. She styles like she means it.
Sydnee Paige → Azzi Fudd
Sydnee Paige has been in the work. Years in New York fashion and credits across sports and entertainment, including Cardi B, J.Lo, and Skylar Diggins, all came before she linked up with the number one pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft. That range is exactly why she’s one of the most in-demand stylists in the W right now. She knows how to build for big moments because she’s been doing it.
With Azzi Fudd, the trust is obvious. At the 2026 WNBA Draft, Sydnee executed a full costume change: two looks, two different identities, one cohesive story across the night. Look one was a silver sequined Coach dress. Look two was Retrofête. Fudd wore both like she’d owned them for years. Sydnee also styled Fudd for her SLAM magazine cover shoot, creating looks that hold up as editorial images, not just tunnel moments. That’s the difference between a stylist who dresses a client and one who builds a brand.
We talked to Sydnee about exactly how a draft night look comes together: the vision, the pressure, the last-minute calls, and everything that doesn’t make the camera frame.
Miguel Moss → Erica Wheeler
Erica Wheeler has always had a strong point of view when it comes to style. That’s what makes her work with Miguel Moss so interesting to watch. Since Moss styled her for the 2026 WNBA Draft, the two have quietly developed one of the most cohesive style pairings in the W.
Wheeler’s Willy Chavarria x adidas look was the moment it all clicked. The oversized shorts, metal-toed sneakers, and custom “EW” chain from GLD all worked together without feeling overstyled. Every piece had a purpose, and nothing competed for attention.
The partnership works because Moss understands Wheeler’s point of view. Every look feels like an extension of her style rather than a departure from it, bringing another level of intention to a player who has always known exactly who she is.
Brittany Johnson → Aneesah Morrow
Brittany Johnson is one of the emerging stylists to know in the WNBA. Her client list already includes Connecticut Sun rookies Aneesah Morrow and Charlisse Leger-Walker, two teammates with completely different style identities. Dressing both requires range, and Johnson has shown she can meet each player where they are instead of forcing the same aesthetic on everyone.
With Morrow, the look has been power dressing from day one. At the 2025 WNBA Draft, she arrived in an all-black leather Coach look that immediately turned heads. The WNBA called it “a million dollars.” Flau’jae Johnson summed it up with “foot on necks.” That confidence has carried into the season, from an oversized Gucci set in the tunnel to a Coach faux fur cheetah coat at the All-Star party.
Leger-Walker presents a different challenge. Unlike Morrow, whose style already has a clear identity, Leger-Walker’s is still evolving. That gives Johnson the rare opportunity to help shape a player’s visual identity from the start, before it becomes associated with anyone else.
Ella Koe → Hailey Van lith
Back in April, we featured Van Lith in our Style Guide series after she arrived in a standout yellow adidas jacket. It caught our attention then, and Koe has only refined Van Lith’s style identity since. Her tunnel looks have developed into one of the league’s most recognizable aesthetics, balancing masculine and feminine elements with an editorial confidence that feels uniquely hers. Hypebae called it “office siren style.” It’s hard to argue with that.
What makes the relationship work is trust. Van Lith has spoken about wearing looks she wasn’t sold on at first, including one she joked was “giving librarian,” before trusting Koe’s vision. That willingness to embrace the unexpected is what separates styling from simply picking out clothes. At the end of her rookie season, Van Lith shared a visual recap of their tunnel looks, giving Koe public credit for helping shape one of the league’s most distinct aesthetics.
For Van Lith, tunnel fashion sets the tone before tip-off. “It manifests what my energy is going to be.” Koe’s job is translating that mindset into looks that feel authentic every time Van Lith steps into the arena.
The WNBA’s style ecosystem runs deeper than most fans realize, and we’re just getting started. Part Three is on the way, featuring more of the creatives shaping the league’s visual identity, including Golden of IGP Styling and Natalija Marshall.
