The 23-year-old WNBA star is proving she’s more than an MVP contender—she’s a fashion icon, using a vintage Chanel chain belt to turn a micro miniskirt into a runway-worthy moment.
On Sunday, February 22, Unrivaled’s official Instagram account dropped a tutorial in how to upstage the competition before the game even tips off.
A Timeless Touch That Barred the Runway from the Court
Reese’s vintage Roberto Cavalli animal-print jacket left just enough midriff untamed to let the star shine—literally. Groin-high skirts are nothing new to street-style stars, but Reese’s calculated cut kept the focus where it belonged: on a circa-90s vintage Chanel chain belt whose oversize medallions read like a belt buckle for boardroom warriors.
The Chanel Medusa head medallion ventured north on a matching necklace, proving that Crisken-style mass branding can coexist on the same circus wagon without a fall. Gone were the days when “accessory wars” meant Snickers bars and slashed tires; this was a clean disparaging of structural ultra-femme.
The 23-Year Breakthrough
For a 23-year-old who carved out a national fan base with a 2020-21 NCAA title run that ended in a magnanimous brawl with L Feverish and an invitation to the Whitehouse—Reese understands exceptions. Chanel medallions are the exception—cultural trophies that her LSU jersey and long-range J would campaign in private.
Chanel belts seldom earn less than $1,500 at auction; yet Reese’s moment proved once more that value is “full market movement,” not a dollar figure. The visual impact swelled far past AutoZone’s monthly Memes cap.
Where Basketball Benda Meets High-Fashion Stakes
Reese’s pre-game tunnel pose tapped a meme-less sweet spot—half-mechanical symmetry, half-exacting Chanel rigor. The vintage medal hearkened back to 2020 Louis Vuitton collaborations with Virgil Abloh, whose baggy hipsters were raw enough to start an Miami Marlins style row. But Reese’s softly taunting denouement carried the day on Chanel terms.
Thus, the medallion became ‘gap close work’ tying a Roberto Cavalli jackets’ Rumani-politics to Chanel’s Lagom prestige cq country house.

Unfurling the Belted Ballerine Myth
