After UCLA’s stunning March Madness victory last week, we’ve been waiting with bated breath to see where the team’s star players are headed. Luckily, we won’t have to wait long. Tonight, at the 2026 WNBA Draft, Lauren Betts, Angela Dugalić, Gabriela Jaquez, Gianna Kneepkens, and Kiki Rice will officially trade their blue and gold for their new jerseys.
While UCLA’s players make up an impressive third of the draftees, plenty of familiar faces will walk the orange carpet at The Shed: South Carolina’s Raven Johnson, UConn’s Azzi Fudd, and LSU’s Flau’jae Johnson are also in attendance.
Over the last few years, the WNBA has become a fashion affair, with the draft serving as a prelude for tunnel walks to come. In 2024, Caitlin Clark hit the carpet in a coordinated white Prada set while Angel Reese opted for a silver hooded Bronx and Banco gown. Last year, Paige Bueckers opted for a glittering three-piece Coach suit while Sacramento King’s Russell Westbrook designed a look for Georgia Amoore.
This year is surely no exception. Below, see all the looks from the 2026 WNBA Draft.
