The Iowa Hawkeye basketball star — who was the No. 1 draft pick and will play for the Indiana Fever during her rookie WNBA year — stepped out in head-to-toe Prada for her big night at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. In a red carpet interview with fellow hoops star Aliyah Boston, Clark said she is the first hoops player, male or female, to wear the Prada on draft night.
Clark paired on-trend Prada slingbacks — a departure from her usual Nike kicks — with a white double satin shirt and skirt and embroidered rhinestone mesh top. She accessorized with sunglasses and the label’s black Galleria bag.
Clark closed out her record-breaking NCAA career on April 7 with a whopping 3,951 points scored.
During March Madness 2024, she broke the NCAA Division 1 all-time leading scoring record among men and women when she hit 3,686 collegiate career points during the March 3 game versus the Ohio State Buckeyes. She holds handfuls of other NCAA basketball records too.
Amid record ratings for the NCAA Women’s Tournament this month, luxury brands clearly are seeing big potential in young female athletes.
This month, LSU star Angel Reese declared her intentions to enter the WNBA draft in a high-fashion shoot in Vogue, where she wore footwear brands from Christian Louboutin to Reebok (her sponsor).
