Iowa women’s basketball star Caitlin Clark stepped out for the WNBA Draft wearing a special ensemble.
Clark was wearing head-to-toe Prada – becoming the first WNBA or NBA player to be dressed by the fashion house for the draft.
She was seen wearing a silvery top with an off-white skirt and a large jacket over the top.
Clark accessorized the outfit with black shoes and a black bag as well as silver bracelets.
Topping it all off was a pair of orange sunglasses – possibly a nod to the colors of the WNBA logo.

Earlier in the day, Clark was one of many WNBA Draft hopefuls pictured atop the Empire State Building.
On the night of the draft, Clark was selected first overall by the Fever in a highly anticipated selection.
It drew tens of thousands of people to Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis to watch the team draft Clark.
Clark, who led Iowa to back-to-back national title games, will stay in the Midwest and will hope to help turn around a struggling Indiana franchise that hasn’t been to the playoffs since 2016.
Now, one of the best to ever grace a college basketball court is heading to the professional ranks, where she will team up with last year’s No. 1 overall pick – Aliyah Boston.
Clark left Iowa with the record for most points ever scored by a man or woman in college basketball history.
But she was never able to taste the success of a championship in college — falling to LSU in the 2023 title game and South Carolina in the 2024 title game.
In the end, Clark was selected first overall by the Indiana Fever in this year’s draft

After Clark was taken first overall, picks two and three were Stanford’s Cameron Brink to the Los Angeles Sparks and South Carolina’s Kamilla Cardoso to the Chicago Sky. After the top three, Tennessee’s Rickea Jackson was again taken fourth by the Sparks, and Jacy Sheldon of Ohio State was collected fifth by the Dallas Wings.
Angel Reese, the LSU star known as the ‘Bayou Barbie,’ was selected seventh overall and was selected by the Chicago Sky.
According to Spotrac, Clark’s rookie contract will be worth $338,056 paid out over four years – with a fourth-year option.
