WNBA star Angel Reese proves she’s the ultimate opportunist while meeting Rihanna

Fans are going wild after WNBA superstar Angel Reese shared video that shows her networking with Rihanna at the 2024 Footwear News Achievement Awards.

Angel, 22, won the Style Influencer of the Year Award at the ‘Shoe Oscars,’ which took place Wednesday night at Cipriani South Street in New York.

The basketball forward has been working with Reebok since 2023 and launched her first collection with the brand in July.

‘I’m still figuring life out, but this is just the beginning,’ Angel said while accepting the award, according to Footwear News.

Rihanna’s boyfriend and children’s father A$AP Rocky was nominated for an award, so the pop superstar was there to support her rapper beau while wearing a white custom Alaia gown.

The Unapologetically Angel podcast host and RiRi posted Instagram Story videos together, which the Bayou Barbie shared with her 4.5 million followers.

Angel proclaimed, ‘I love you!’ before calling the Fenty Beauty founder a ‘queen.’

In the next Instagram Story, Angel told Rihanna, 36, ‘I want to work with you one day,’ before asking, ‘Can we do it?”

‘Let’s do it,’ the Umbrella singer quickly agreed. ‘I’m always ready.’

The nine-time Grammy winner is famous for working with female celebrities, and often casts them to model for her Savage x Fenty lingerie line and walk in her famous fashion show.

After the Instagram account Bleacher Report shared the interaction, fans were quick to praise the potential business deal and call Angel a ‘networking queen’ – although some took issue with her basketball performance.

‘Her off the court career is crazy,’ one person commented.

‘Closed mouths don’t get fed. Good job Angel!’ another praised the Chicago Sky player.

‘Yeah don’t be surprised if she starts making a whole bunch of money and gets more recognition,’ a commenter complimented.

However, some people were unimpressed with her A-list networking moment, with one critic saying, ‘She does everything and is everywhere but on the courts.’

‘Caitlin Clark is 10x better, Angel Reese will end up on love and hip hop or something,’ another commenter predicted, naming her biggest rival.

‘Closed mouths don’t get fed. Good job Angel!’ one fan praised the Chicago Sky player, who showed off her outfit and diamond necklace on her Instagram Story

Law Roach was at the awards show, and the celebrity stylist recently joined Angel on her podcast to discuss her fashion sense.

The ‘image architect’ who styles Zendaya told Angel he’d like to see her in ‘more clothes.’

‘I understand you’re tall, you want to show your legs, that’s what you love about yourself, but I want to see you in more clothes, if that makes sense,’ Law told the fashionista.

Angel is already making her mark on the fashion world after she declared for the draft in Vogue.

The Louisiana State University grad has attended the Met Gala, the CFDA Fashion Awards, and the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
