WNBA rising star Rickea Jackson caught everyone’s attention on Sunday with her striking AB Bearing-inspired outfit at the Crypto.com Arena. Los Angeles arrived in a sharp all-white look, matching Jackson’s standout influence during the game where the Sparks edged out the Seattle Storm 94-91.
Before tip-off, Jackson made a memorable entrance wearing a long-sleeve crop top featuring cutout details paired with matching V-waisted pants, revealing her toned midriff highlighted by abdominal piercings. She finished the ensemble with white high-heeled boots, making her pre-game walk one of the night’s hottest topics. The Sparks’ official Instagram and X accounts shared photos of her outfit, sparking widespread praise from fans who flooded social media with compliments.
Fans praised Jackson’s style soon after it was shared, with many calling her looks the best in the league and admiring her bold fashion choices. Jackson’s appearance in the tunnel quickly became a viral moment, with comments like "Rickeya is a beast!" and "This is one of the best looks of the year."
Meanwhile, the Sparks’ on-court action lived up to the hype. Dearica Hamby scored the game-winning basket, breaking a 91-all tie with 5.6 seconds left, along with a foul to secure the victory. Hamby’s three-point play sealed the win, pushing Los Angeles to a 15-16 season record and narrowly trailing Seattle in the playoff race. Kelsey Plum led the team with 20 points and seven assists, Hamby added 19, Azura Stevens contributed 15, and Cameron Brink came off the bench to score 14 points. Jackson herself scored nine points while balancing the team’s offense.
This fashionable statement is just one in Jackson’s growing collection of impressive looks this season. During the 2025 WNBA All-Star Weekend, she turned heads with multiple striking outfits, including a red cutout mini dress on the orange carpet and a leopard print top with ripped jeans. Her fearless approach to fashion has made her a fan favorite beyond basketball circles.
Jackson’s rise in fashion coincides with a strong athletic performance. She’s averaging 14.1 points per game, playing a key role in the Sparks’ recent success. Her synergy with Kelsey Plum, who has been instrumental in helping Jackson develop her game, adds to the team’s strength. Jackson credits Plum’s leadership and in-game guidance with boosting her confidence.
As the regular season wraps up, the Sparks will rely on consistent performances from Jackson and Plum to secure a playoff spot. Sunday’s win not only pushed the team closer to the postseason but also boosted Jackson’s growing reputation both as a style icon and a basketball star.
Fan Take: Rickea Jackson is proving that her influence extends far beyond the court, blending elite athleticism with a unique fashion sense that energizes fans and broadens the appeal of the WNBA. Her evolving style and rising performance symbolize a new era where WNBA stars set trends in both sports and culture, inspiring a wider audience and elevating the league’s profile.
