While Cunningham is known for her sharpshooting skills on the court—averaging 8.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.0 assists last season—her bold fashion choices continue to make waves. She frequently showcases eye-catching pregame outfits, drawing both praise and criticism from her growing fanbase.
One of her most talked-about fashion moments came before a Phoenix Mercury game against the New York Liberty in late August. Cunningham rocked a revealing Love Island-inspired dress that put her tan lines on full display. After fans questioned the outfit, she quickly shut down the critics, revealing that the look was “mom approved.”
“I was just talking to someone, and I was like, ’Actually, my mom picked that outfit out,’” Cunningham told Fox News Digital with a laugh. “Everyone’s all in my comments like, ‘Oh, your parents—’ and I’m like, actually, that was my mom’s doing.”
Embracing The Spotlight

Despite the occasional controversy surrounding her fashion choices, Cunningham sees the attention as a reflection of the WNBA’s growing popularity. With record-breaking attendance and viewership last season, she recognizes that fans are increasingly invested not just in the game but in the players’ personalities and lifestyles.
“I do think it’s super cool that people are interested in what we do off the court now,” Cunningham said. “Our tunnel fits have been a fashion show, and people are so excited and intrigued about what we’re going to wear.”
Her ability to spark conversation—whether through her gameplay or her wardrobe—only adds to her rising profile in the league.
