Caitlin Clark Turns Head In Chic State Farm-Inspired Game Day Fit

Caitlin Clark has the people talking once again. This time, however, her on-court skills weren't the main topic; instead, it was the bold fashion statement she made off the court.

On Thursday, May 22, Clark arrived at State Farm Arena for the Indiana Fever's matchup against the Atlanta Dream in a particularly eye-catching ensemble.

In fact, the 23-year-old WNBA phenomenon turned heads, arriving in an outfit that playfully channeled a chic State Farm employee.

Clark strode through the game tunnel in a striking, custom Zac Posen creation: a khaki trench coat paired with a matching skirt, a vibrant red crop top, and nude-colored heels, a clear nod to her ongoing partnership with the insurance company.

Clark's headline-making look also garnered attention because it was debuted just a day after State Farm launched its new "With The Assist" initiative, which features Clark highlighting the value of real-life assists that often go unrecognized.

And to further amplify the message for State Farm's customers, the company has teamed up with the playmaker, making her the focus of their new commercial designed to remind State Farm's loyal clients how they can offer "proactive support in home, auto, and personal insurance."

Clark's new commercial, which will air throughout the NBA playoffs and WNBA regular season, is just another of her many advertisements with the insurance company.

In 2023, during the height of her collegiate success, Clark announced her groundbreaking partnership with the brand, making her the first collegiate athlete State Farm signed a name, image, and likeness deal with.

“State Farm is a team that looks out for others, which is exactly the kind of legacy I want to leave beyond the basketball court,” said Clark. “I’m honored to be the first college athlete to join the Good Neighbor team - in khakis, of course - and look forward to growing the women’s game together.”

One of the company's marketing officers also released a statement following their deal, explaining how excited they were for Clark to help them "positively impact communities" and reinforce their "commitment to raising the visibility of women's sports."

Amid the hype surrounding her work with State Farm, Clark also addressed recent controversies since the WNBA season began, particularly an incident last Saturday, May 17.

After a fiery on-court moment with the Chicago Sky's Angel Reese, the Fever star was whistled for a flagrant foul, an incident that sparked significant online discussion.

A day later, the WNBA addressed the viral moment and announced they were investigating claims of hate speech being directed at Reese from Fever fans.

"There's no place for that in our game, there's no place for that in society," Clark said after practice the week of May 19. "Certainly, we want every person who comes into our arena — whether player or fan — to have a great experience. I appreciate the league doing that [investigation]. I appreciate that the Fever organization has been at the forefront of that."

Following her foul on Reese, Clark addressed the situation with ESPN's Holly Rowe and stated she was trying to stop Reese from getting an easy bucket.

“You know, either Angel gets a wide-open two points, or we send them to the free-throw line. Nothing malicious about it. It's just a good take foul. Every basketball player knows that,” Clark said.

After the game, Clark discussed the moment with the media again and urged them not to dramatize the situation.

"It was just a good play on the basketball. I'm not sure what the refs saw to upgrade it. That's up to their discretion ... I wasn't trying to do anything malicious. That's not the type of player I am," Clark finished.

Meanwhile, on the court, since the Fever's dominant victory over the Sky in their home opener, the team's record has moved to 2-1 after a loss to the Dream on May 20, followed by a win against them in their second meeting on May 22.
