NEW YORK CITY — The WNBA star from Randallstown turned heads when she showed up at the Met Gala yesterday - and it happened to be her 22nd birthday.

She was wearing a custom dress from English designer 16Arlington.

The shimmery, aquamarine-colored outfit had a deep neckline and gave "Swan Lake" ballerina vibes, or perhaps an etheral, fairy look, as US Weekly suggested.

Instagram mentioned her in a post, saying: "Best. Birthday. Ever. 🍰🌷✨It’s @angelreese5’s (Angel Reese) 22nd birthday and she’s making it a day to remember.After spending the morning practicing with her team in Chicago, the WNBA basketball star took off for New York where she’s attending the 2024 #MetGala for the first time.With a dress by @16arlington, a personalized cake and a supportive squad cheering her on, she’s officially ready for fashion’s biggest night. 💫"

Cardi B, who was also at the Met Gala, also gave her a shotout on her Instagram.

The Instagram post has gotten more than 227,000 likes as of Tuesday afternoon, and the WNBA Facebook post has more than 5,000 likes.
