Kelsey Plum is kicking off the WNBA season in style.
The basketball star, 29, arrived at the Las Vegas Aces ring ceremony and season opener against Phoenix Mercury in a risqué leather getup. The star of the head-to-toe Alexander Wang ensemble was the Sleeveless Cropped Waistcoat — which Plum wore unbuttoned for a daring, braless look.
For the Tuesday, May 14 event, she also sported Alexander Wang’s Low Waist Crochet Leather Trouser and completed the look with the Terrain Crackle Leather Moto Boot and Crescent Small Handle Bag in Crackle Patent Leather. The athlete added layered necklaces and black cat-eye sunglasses for a touch of glamour.
Plum showed off her look on Instagram. “Ring night 💍,” she captioned a slow-motion video of herself walking down a hallway.
Her stylist, Sydney Bordonaro, shared a video of the star dancing in the ensemble. “Game YAY MOOOOOOOD,” she wrote over the Instagram Stories clip.

Just after the filing, Plum shared the news on social media.
“I’m devastated. I walked through fire for that man, but now I see it’s time to go,” she wrote on Instagram Stories.
“The offseason’s been tough for me,” the athlete said in a May 3 interview with Fox affiliate KVVU-TV. “I’m sure, everyone knows, it’s pretty public, but for me, I’m super-grateful. I think my faith has grown tremendously. And not just that but I know who I am, and like, you kind of get refined by fire.”
“I’m excited about this season, I’m excited about Las Vegas, try to run it back again,” Plum continued. “And I know that our fans are with us, I know that this organization is with us, I know that our team is as tight as we’ve ever been and so we really embody the Aces vs everybody.”

The basketball star certainly isn’t letting her recent breakup get her down. In addition to kicking off the WNBA season, Plum starred in the latest SKIMS campaign for the brand’s Fits Everybody line. The campaign also featured fellow WNBA icons Candace Parker, Cameron Brink, Dijonai Carrington and Skylar Diggins-Smith.
“As athletes, for so long it’s [been about] going through a period of time where it’s like, ‘Are you too muscular? Are you too tall? Are you too skinny?’” Parker, 38, told PEOPLE. “So I think it’s important to show, especially now that I have a daughter, that it’s super powerful to love your body.”
