Iowa women’s basketball star Caitlin Clark showed up to the WNBA draft wearing a special outfit.
Clark wore 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 silver top with an off-white skirt and a large jacket over it.
Clark accessorized the outfit with black shoes and a black bag along with silver bracelets.
To top it all off, a pair of orange-colored sunglasses – perhaps an homage to the colors of the WNBA logo.

On draft night, Clark was selected first overall by The Fever in a highly anticipated selection.
This drew tens of thousands of people to Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis to watch the team recruit Clark.
Clark, who led Iowa to back-to-back national title games, will remain in the Midwest and hopes to help turn around a struggling Indiana franchise that hasn’t made the playoffs since 2016.
Now, one of college basketball’s greatest players has joined the professional ranks where she will team up with last year’s No. 1 overall pick, Aliyah Boston.
Clark left Iowa holding the record for most points ever scored by a man or woman in college basketball history.
But she never got to taste championship success in college — falling to LSU in the 2023 title game and South Carolina in the 2024 title game.
Ultimately, Clark was selected first overall by the Indiana Fever in that year’s draft.

Clark celebrated the draft in Brooklyn and headed to the stage where she was greeted by WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert with a hug and a Fever jersey.
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 once again taken fourth overall by the Sparks and Ohio State’s Jacy Sheldon was taken fifth overall by the Dallas Wings.
Angel Reese, the LSU star known as “Bayou Barbie,” was selected seventh overall and was chosen by the Chicago Sky.
According to Spotrac, Clark’s rookie contract will be worth $338,056, paid over four years – with a fourth-year option.
