Caitlin Clark swapped her Prada fit, worth $17,000, for a laidback $220 Nike look after the Indiana Fever selected her with the first pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft on Monday night.
The former Iowa star point guard sported a light-colored sweatshirt and beige Nike joggers while leaving an interview at “Good Morning America” studios in New York City, as seen in new photos Tuesday.
Clark, 22, who was holding a white box, stepped out in a pair of Nike Dunk Low Retro Panda sneakers, while her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, walked behind her.
The two-time Naismith Award winner opted for a more casual outfit after she wore a navy blue and white striped dress and heels while on “GMA.”
The night before, she nearly broke the internet when she wore head-to-toe Prada on the orange carpet at the draft, which took place at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
Clark’s $17,000 ensemble featured a rhinestone mesh crop top ($3,750) under a satin collared shirt ($5,500) and a matching miniskirt ($1,750), as well as pointed leather pumps ($1,200), according to Business Insider.
She accessorized with a Prada Galleria patent leather mini bag ($4,100) and a pair of acetate sunglasses ($575).
After she joined the Fever, Clark traded her designer heels for a pair of UGG clogs.
Clark, who has an estimated NIL of $3 million, said this was the first time Prada has ever dressed a male or female for the WNBA or NBA draft.
McCaffrey, who currently works as an assistant for the Indiana Pacers, was a big fan of Clark’s Prada outfit, as the former Iowa basketball player shared a few flirty emojis about it on X.
Clark’s “GMA” appearance came hours after the couple celebrated her big night at The Fleur Room on Moxy Chelsea’s 35th floor with some of her former Iowa teammates — Kate Martin, Jada Gyamfi and Gabbie Marshall as well as Raina Harmon, an assistant coach for the Hawkeyes.
Clark — the NCAA Division I all-time scoring leader, for men’s and women’s — played a major role in the dominance of women’s college basketball in the 2023-24 season and throughout March Madness.
The NCAA women’s title game between Clark’s Hawkeyes and the South Carolina Gamecocks surpassed the men’s UConn-Purdue championship matchup by millions.
Her presence helped ticket sales and TV ratings skyrocket.
Two hours after joining the Fever, Clark became Fanatics’ top-selling draft pick in any draft night history, according to Darren Rovell, founder of Cllct Media.
The WNBA will begin training camps on April 28 and the season starts May 14.
