The basketball star flaunted head-to-toe Prada at her post-draft interviews, but decided to switch into more comfortable shoes

Caitlin Clark was prioritizing comfort at the 2024 WNBA Draft on Monday night, April 15.

The 22-year-old basketball player swapped out her heels for a pair of gray clog Uggs as she walked the red carpet at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.

The big night led Clark to officially become a pro when she was named first pick by the Indiana Fever.

For her monumental night, the former Iowa Hawykeys star and 2023 NCAA National Player of the Year, wore Prada head-to-toe in a white satin mini skirt and jacket set. Under, she flaunted a silver sparkly Prada crop top paired with a black mini Prada handbag.

“I love Prada. I think Prada is very me,” Clark told GQ Sports. “Prada’s never dressed a WNBA player or an NBA player for the draft, so it’s very fun.” 

At the beginning of the night, she was sporting a pair of sleek black pointed-toe pumps before she changed into the Uggs for post-draft interviews. Her new footwear can be seen in sports reporter Jenna Lemonchelli’s video on X (Formerly Twitter) — which has garnered more than 325,000 views.

Keeping her hair simple, she wore it down and pin straight, accentuating her light makeup with acetate gold-tone sunglasses, also made by Prada, and simple diamond stud earrings.

Clark was truly the star of the night, drawing attention from all angles. 

The WNBA shared the announcement of her drafting on X (formerly known as Twitter), writing, “With the 1st pick in the 2024 #WNBADraft, presented by @StateFarm, the @IndianaFever select @CaitlinClark22 of @IowaWBB ✨✨.”

She was supported by her parents, Brent and Anne Nizzi-Clark, her brothers Colin and Blake, and her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, during the draft at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Clark made history while playing for the Hawkeyes, making her a household name in the world of college basketball after she helped the NCAA bring in record viewership this season.

On May 14, she will play her first game with the Fever when Indiana’s season tips off against the Connecticut Sun.
