Angel Reese captured widespread attention on Friday with her striking swimsuit photos, sparking the Angel Reese swimsuit photo trend on social media. Her teammate from Rose BC, Kahleah Copper, humorously responded to Reese’s glamorous posts, highlighting their strong friendship and shared basketball history.
In a three-slide Instagram post, Reese showcased a light brown cutout swimsuit adorned with a fern pattern. The first image was a close-up selfie, followed by a mirror selfie that emphasized her toned midsection, and a third shot featuring a different stance. She completed the look with white high-cut shorts, enhancing the stylish ensemble.
Reese captioned the post, “some-BODY,” underlining her confidence and command over her fashion presence. Known for her distinct style, Reese frequently shares outfit updates on Instagram and has gained recognition beyond basketball, including a Vogue Magazine cover in January and her debut in Sports Illustrated earlier this year.
Kahleah Copper’s quick-witted comment on Reese’s post delighted fans. She wrote,
“Where is your clothes?” Copper wrote.

In the WNBA, Copper represents the Phoenix Mercury and has recently returned after an injury, while Reese continues to be a leading force on the Chicago Sky, despite the team’s challenging start to the season.
