As you may have heard, this year’s WNBA rookie class has been dominating the league’s news cycle. Between Caitlin Clark causing the entire sports media world to lose its mind, Angel Reese admitting that she thought certain parts of the pros would be harder, and Cameron Brink showing off her impressive closet night after night, the rookies have made the conversation around women’s basketball louder than ever.

But the chatter about her attire really ramped up at the draft, where Mühl went 14th overall to Seattle, and did so in one of the night’s best outfits. From the glasses by Mugler and Gentle Monster to the Amina Muaddi shoes—can’t forget the tasteful grill, either, which she told GQ is a tribute to her hometown—Mühl came correct.

If anyone can pull off a pleated skirt and a leather Hard Rock Cafe vest, it’s Mühl.
