WNBA star Angel Reese revealed a new curly pixie haircut in New York City on Tuesday, styled for her upcoming Victoria's Secret campaign. The 1920s-inspired look coincides with her recent trade to the Atlanta Dream. Hairstylist Dionte Gray crafted the layered style, complemented by vintage fashion and makeup.
Angel Reese, the 23-year-old WNBA player, appeared in New York City sporting a fresh curly pixie haircut. Created by hairstylist Dionte Gray, known as Arrogant Tae, the look draws from 1920s layered styles. Reese captioned an Instagram post with “Betty Boo,” embracing the vintage vibe ahead of her Victoria’s Secret campaign launch. Stylists Matthew and Reginald Reisman, known as The Reismans, dressed her in a houndstooth blazer by LaQuan Smith. Makeup artist Latisha Chancey applied bold brows and prominent light-pink blush, marking a reunion from Reese’s 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show debut. In a behind-the-scenes video on the brand’s Instagram, Reese said, “I really manifested this.” The former Vogue cover star has long expressed her love for fashion, recalling in a past interview how she played dress-up in her mother’s closet as a child, always aiming to look put together. The timing aligns with her career shift: news of Reese’s trade from the Chicago Sky to the Atlanta Dream emerged on Monday, April 6. This new hairstyle signals a stylish new chapter as she joins her next team.
