After attending the Off-White fashion show in New York, Paige Bueckers graced the sidelines at the Barclays Center on Sunday. The UConn guard sat next to Dallas Mavericks shooter Klay Thompson, who wore the jersey of 2021 WNBA MVP Jonquel Jones during the Las Vegas Aces' game against the New York Liberty.
Overtime WWB's Instagram handle uploaded a few courtside snapshots and videos of the college star. 2024 NCAA championship coach Dawn Staley was also in the arena. Moreover, Stephen Curry and Azzi Fudd also sat near each other.
The Liberty’s 75-71 win over the Aces was just a chapter in Paige Bueckers’ extravagant weekend. She came into the arena after attending her first NY Fashion Week event, witnessing the "Who Decides War" segment.
Flaunting an all-black attire with colorful butterfly silhouettes, Bueckers was not only soaking all in from the fashion show but also finding inspiration to add to her fashion ventures.
"Stepping outside my comfort zone, continue to find who I am in fashion, exploring my masculine side, my feminine side and just mixing both, and just continue to get comfortable in my own skin and finding different ways to express myself," she said while speaking with French magazine Marie Claire.
Moreover, R&B singer Usher performed in Brooklyn as part of his ongoing tour. Paige Bueckers made the most of the opportunity, attending the concert and sharing a glimpse of the same with her fans on Instagram.
