Dijonai Carrington Slays Anyway

Dijonai Carrington shared four Getty images of her red carpet moment at the Ghostbond event on Instagram.

She wore a black bandeau dress with a daring midsection cutout that created the illusion of a two-piece. The skirt gathered and knotted on one hip, opening into a thigh-high slit.

Carrington also debuted a new hair color, showcasing the Ghostbond wig glue. Rather than her usual blonde hair, she wore an auburn-brown wig styled in an updo, with soft waves framing her face.

On her feet, she wore a single metallic gold sandal, while the other leg was in a gray orthopedic walking boot. Carrington sustained a left foot injury during Game 2 of the WNBA playoffs on September 17, 2025.

Fans Loved The Look

One fan admitted they “didn’t even notice the boots” until they read comments, noting how it didn’t stop her fashion moment. “Absolutely stunning, even with the boots,” added another.

Fellow basketball players chimed in, too. Angel Reese wrote, “Tuhhh. Thank yaaa,” while Courtney Williams simply commented, “HER.”

Others focused on her glowing look. “Do you ever take a bad pic? I don’t think so,” one wrote. Another user commented, “You’re always gorgeous, but this color is [fire] on you.”

Amid the love, a seemingly worried fan wrote, “You’re still wearing that boot? OMG, you’re not gonna be ready for the season, are you?” Truly, Carrington is reportedly benched for the remainder of the season. But at least she’s slaying outside the court.

Gorgeous In Blonde

While many fans complimented Dijonai Carrington’s auburn wig, one user pleaded, “Please bring back the blonde.”

Carrington, however, loves to switch things up. Her Instagram feed shows her rocking black pixie curls, pink waves, and her signature blonde look. It appears the blonde look is a fan favorite, or perhaps just familiar.

In one particular post, Carrington wore a blonde wavy wig that completely mesmerized fans. She was dressed in a black leather bikini-style top with chain detailing and a denim skirt.

Fans went wild, calling her “the hottest chick in the W.” “You’re on fire off and on the court,” one noted.

Winner In Court, Baddie Off It

Dijonai Carrington shared a carousel on August 16 to celebrate her move to the Minnesota Lynx. The carousel was a mix of Carrington’s photos, showing how she is a fierce competitor on the basketball court and an effortless baddie off it.

The first slide featured her in a skimpy two-piece featuring a halter top and mini skirt, while another showed the Lynx’s scoreboard win over the New York Liberty.

A fan summed it up perfectly, “Officially a good guy, forever a baddie.” Notably, the “good guys” is an unofficial nickname for the Lynx.
