Angel Reese continues to embrace her inner villain as she soaked up the Halloween season dressed up as iconic Batman villain Poison Ivy this year.

Recreating the famed DC Comics character, Reese painted her entire body green, donning a dramatic red wig to complete the transformation.

Reese shared her striking Halloween costume on Instagram for her roughly 4.1 million followers on Thursday. The creation was brought to life by makeup artist Deja Blackwell, who has collaborated with the Chicago Sky star on various projects, including a Sports Illustrated cover and appearances on the "Wild 'n Out" show.

Reese captioned the post:

"Don't touch me I'M POISON! 🍃🌹"

The post has already been liked by close to 400,000 people, including fellow WNBA rookies Cameron Brink, Kamilla Cardoso and others like Jordyn Woods and Iman Shumpert, who joined fans in celebrating how seamlessly she brought the Poison Ivy to her Halloween party.

Fans were quick to share their reactions to the WNBA star’s dramatic costume on X, formerly known as Twitter.

One wrote:

“NGL she crushed this”

A second said:

“That makes sense because Poison Ivy is a DC Character which is licensed by Reebok. I respect the hustle/business.”

A third added:

“This is why she can't pay her rent.”

“Oh, big diesel bout too blow that phone up some more,” one X user wrote alongside smiling and superb emoji, referencing Shaq's recent viral remark on a podcast.

While other fans said that Reese "won" Halloween with her costume. Another simply described the costume as:

"Ai generated"

Another fan exclaimed:

"I wouldn't be surprised if she announces a partnership with DC and Funko Pop next."

All eyes will be on Reese to see what she'll do next. She’s been on a roll lately, making the most of her offseason with NBA courtside appearances, parties with friends, and bold fashion statements. She recently debuted a new blonde hairdo as well.
