Sophie Cunningham, a standout name in the WNBA, continues to make waves both on and off the basketball court. Known not only for her athletic prowess but also for her bold fashion sense, the 28-year-old athlete has steadily grown her fanbase. While stars like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese dominate headlines, Cunningham has carved out her own spotlight with a combination of charisma, performance, and unapologetic style.
Last season, Cunningham played with the Phoenix Mercury, where she became a fan favorite, in part due to her eye-catching pregame outfits. From floral dresses that showed glimpses of her tan lines to a strapless, color-block mini dress chosen by her mother, her fashion has become almost as iconic as her game. She recently opened up about her style in an interview with the New York Post, proudly sharing the influence her mom has on her wardrobe choices. It’s this personal touch that continues to connect her with fans across the country.
Now, Sophie is once again trending online, this time for sharing images of herself in a striking green bikini during her offseason downtime. Posing alongside three close friends, all confidently flaunting their own bikini looks, the WNBA star reminded fans that athletes can embrace leisure just as fiercely as they do competition. The photos showcased her familiar tan lines and effortless confidence, sparking a wave of reactions from supporters who admire her authenticity.
On the court, Cunningham delivered solid numbers last season, averaging 8.4 points per game while shooting an impressive 37.8% from three-point range. She also contributed 3.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. With her recent trade to the Indiana Fever, excitement is building around what she might accomplish next. Teaming up with rising star Caitlin Clark could provide the perfect opportunity for her stats to climb even higher.
This latest move comes as part of a complex four-team deal involving the Phoenix Mercury, Indiana Fever, Dallas Wings, and Connecticut Sun. The Fever welcomed Cunningham, the 19th overall pick from Phoenix, and Jaelyn Brown from the Wings. As a versatile 6-foot-1 guard capable of defending multiple positions, Cunningham is expected to bring experience and scoring depth to her new squad. Having spent her entire six-year career in Phoenix up to this point, the fresh start in Indiana marks a new chapter in her journey—one that’s already off to an attention-grabbing start.
