Angel Reese entered the WNBA in style.

The former LSU basketball star rocked up to the 2024 Draft on Monday night in a shimmering low-cut gown complete with a custom diamond grill.

Reese turned heads when she stepped onto the orange carPet in a semi-sheer Bronx and Banco dress ($1,450) covered in beads.

The 21-year-old made a statement in the sleeveless design, which featured an open back, deep cowl neck and hood.

The self-proclaimed “Bayou Barbie” added even more sparkle with a white gold and diamond grill made by jeweler Essense Martin, who told TMZ that Reese’s bottom grill was comprised of near-flawless VVS diamonds, which range from $425 to $650 per tooth, according to the jeweler’s website.

Along with the pricey diamond-encrusted piece, Angel also commissioned two other custom grills from Martin — one for each side of the top of her mouth.

While both teeth caps featured the same white gold and diamonds, the left side bling featured a fun heart design. Plus, Martin also surprised the star with another custom bottom grill spelling out her last name as a gift for making the WNBA.
