After UCLA\u2019s stunning March Madness victory last week, we\u2019ve been waiting with bated breath to see where the team\u2019s star players are headed. Luckily, we won\u2019t have to wait long. Tonight, at the 2026 WNBA Draft, Lauren Betts, Angela Dugali\u0107, Gabriela Jaquez, Gianna Kneepkens, and Kiki Rice will officially trade their blue and gold for their new jerseys.<\/p>\n
While UCLA\u2019s players make up an impressive third of the draftees, plenty of familiar faces will walk the orange carpet at The Shed: South Carolina\u2019s Raven Johnson, UConn\u2019s Azzi Fudd, and LSU\u2019s Flau\u2019jae Johnson are also in attendance.<\/p>\n
Over the last few years, the WNBA has become a fashion affair, with the draft serving as a prelude for tunnel walks<\/a> to come. In 2024<\/a>, 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<\/a>, Paige Bueckers opted for a glittering three-piece Coach suit while Sacramento King\u2019s Russell Westbrook designed a look for Georgia Amoore.<\/p>\n
