Angel Reese’s star continues to shine brightly following her successful first full WNBA season. The young star reached a major milestone recently, fulfilling a dream of meeting global icon Rihanna at the 38th annual Footwear News Achievement Awards in New York City. Their encounter, which has taken the sports and entertainment world by storm, might just mark the beginning of an exciting collaboration.
At the prestigious event, the renowned pop star and business mogul locked eyes with Reese, pointing in her direction with a smile and saying, “This one.” It was a subtle but meaningful acknowledgment between two icons, and Reese couldn’t contain her excitement. “I love you,” she said repeatedly to Rihanna before making a bold request: “I want to work with you one day.”
Without missing a beat, Rihanna, ever the businesswoman, responded simply yet decisively: “Let’s do it.” Reese’s reaction was pure joy, as if she had just accomplished a lifelong goal. Now, fans are left wondering what these two powerful women could create together.
Rihanna’s Far-Reaching Influence Could Align Perfectly with Reese’s Rising Stardom
Rihanna’s influence stretches far beyond music. As a mogul in the beauty and fashion industries with her Fenty Beauty line and Savage X Fenty lingerie brand, she’s a role model for many, including Reese. Reese, who has expressed a deep passion for beauty and fashion, is no stranger to the Fenty brand. During an Instagram Live session last August, she raved about receiving Fenty’s new lip products, expressing her excitement at the opportunity to work with the brand.
The alignment between Rihanna’s brands and Reese’s persona couldn’t be more perfect. Both women are known for their unapologetic attitudes, embracing their identities, and championing diversity. Rihanna’s brands are celebrated for promoting inclusivity, which resonates deeply with Reese’s values both on and off the court. With Reese being a self-described fashion and beauty enthusiast, the idea of collaborating with Rihanna seems like a natural fit.
Could They Be the Next Power Duo in Fashion and Beauty?
Rihanna’s past involvement with the WNBA—such as her Fenty Hair brand’s collaboration with the league for an All-Star Weekend party—suggests a deep connection to the world of sports. Additionally, Reese’s growing influence and popularity in the WNBA would make her an excellent ambassador for any potential partnership. From modeling for Savage X Fenty to appearing in Fenty Beauty campaigns, the possibilities for collaboration are endless.
Reese, who earned a WNBA All-Star spot in her rookie season, is a force both on and off the court. With Rihanna’s backing, Reese could expand her reach even further, and the two could empower and inspire women of color together. The speculation is rife with excitement—whether it’s a product line, a photo campaign, or even a music video appearance, fans are eager to see where this budding partnership could go.
For now, Reese’s “Let’s do it” moment with Rihanna is a reminder of the WNBA’s growing influence and the power of women supporting women in all industries.
