Angel Reese is soaking up every moment of the WNBA All-Star break, and she’s bringing her fans along for the ride. The Atlanta Dream forward, who’s already made waves as a rookie sensation, traded the hardwood for some well-deserved downtime — and a stunning blue swimsuit that had social media lighting up.
Reese, who previously graced the pages of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, posted a series of vacation photos on Thursday that quickly went viral. In the shots, she’s rocking a vibrant blue two-piece, basking in the sun and clearly enjoying her brief pause from the grind of the season.
“My phone just got an excessive heat warning brb,” one fan wrote, while another declared, “STUNNER ALL STAR BARBIE.” The comments kept pouring in, with one admirer saying, “So beautiful my girl, be safe out there! Keep living life, I’m here for it.” An Instagram user summed it up: “Oh you hitting us DAILY with fire during all star break got it.”
Reese has been a force on the court in her debut season with Atlanta, averaging 15.4 points and 11.5 rebounds per game. The Dream currently sit sixth in the WNBA standings with a 16-10 record, and they’ve been off since July 19, giving her a chance to recharge before the All-Star Game on Saturday.
But Reese isn’t just about the beach vibes. She’s also been vocal about the All-Star selections, especially when it comes to her teammates Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray, who were left out of the starting lineup. “I expect to be disrespected,” Reese said earlier this month. “For those two though, I think they work so hard and they put a lot of work in, and the way that they’re guarded every game and they adjust. The reason why we’re where we are is because of those two. For us not to have anyone was just a slap in the face, but they’re not going to say anything. I am.”
This marks Reese’s third consecutive All-Star selection, and she’ll be playing for Cynthia Cooper’s squad. Interestingly, she’ll go head-to-head with Howard and Gray, who will suit up for Teresa Weatherspoon’s team. The 2026 All-Star Game tips off at 8:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
Reese’s photos aren’t the only swimsuit content making headlines this week. Fellow sports star Joy Taylor also turned heads with her own summer swimsuit snaps, keeping the conversation going both on and off the field. Meanwhile, Reese’s earlier jaw-dropping swimsuit photo set the tone for her All-Star break style.
As the All-Star weekend approaches, Reese is proving she can command attention whether she’s dominating the paint or relaxing by the water. And with her outspoken personality and undeniable talent, the buzz around her is only going to grow.
