Despite the 281-mile journey, Cameron Brink finds time for Angel Reese with a four-word message

It feels like yesterday when Angel Reese and Cameron Brink danced together and showed off their outfits after WNBA Draft Night. Now they’re enjoying every moment of their first offseason in the WNBA. But their connection goes beyond fashion and fun. It is their close friendship that allows them to find time for each other despite the physical distance.

On November 24, “Chi-Town Barbie” took to her official Instagram account to share a photo dump. Reese posted 13 photos showing how the Chicago Sky forward balances her demanding schedule with moments of joy. If you’re intrigued by her pictures, you’re not alone — Brink couldn’t resist popping into the comments section, even though she was 281 miles away in Los Angeles, where she was attending the USC game.

“She does everythingBrink wrote, adding a red heart emoji to her comment. And she’s not wrong! Reese has been preparing for the launch of Unrivaled in January, staying current with her podcast Unapologetically Angel, being a keynote speaker at ComplexCon, attending fashion shows (Victoria Secrets) and award shows (CDFA Fashion Awards), and enjoying her personal life .

The post talked about everything. It included footage of her going to the gym, taking private jets, being at a conference, and then the start of the holiday season, with Reese herself in a red SKIMS outfit. At just 22 years old, the Maryland native has had a tumultuous year – and it’s far from over.

The WNBA star will close out her debut season in style, receiving the Style Influence of the Year award at the 2024 Footwear News Achievement Awards next month. It’s well-deserved – Reese’s stunning fits make her a standout on and off the court. But did you know that fashion is another passion that connects Reese and Brink?

Cameron Brink and Angel Reese enjoy a similar honor

Last year, after Reese won the NCAA championship, she posed for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, photographed by Yu Tsai in Los Angeles. “The bold style was inspired by the Art Deco-style house that served as the backdrop for the shoot.” SI said in a statement.

But Reese’s stunning purple bikini wasn’t the only standout outfit — she also rocked multi-colored bikinis, a two-tone bodycon suit, and a fiery red ensemble.

Nearly a year later, Brink, now an LA Sparks star, is preparing for her own SI photo shoot. For Ben Horton’s passion project, she will strike impressive poses on the stunning beaches of Boca Raton. Although the photos won’t be released until 2025, Brink expressed her excitement during a podcast appearance, saying, “I have always loved SI swimsuits. I think it’s super empowering.”

This isn’t Brink’s first foray into the fashion industry either. At Fashion Week with Balenciaga, she turned heads with her seductive cuts and attitude. Through basketball and fashion, Reese and Brink have developed a unique connection.
