Gabby Williams Gets Ready for the 2026 WNBA All-Star Weekend With Steve Lacy and a Glass of Wine

Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams received an unexpected visit at the gym this week. Her team surprised her with the news that she made the 2026 WNBA All-Star team. Williams credits her teammates for the achievement, noting that her success is a direct result of their collective effort. She looked forward to the event as a moment to connect with the city, hoping to find time for a quiet view by the water.

Preparing for the orange carpet involved a shift from her standard game day routine. While she usually handles her own makeup, this event required a few adjustments, including a glass of wine to settle the nerves. She spent time curating a playlist featuring the latest Steve Lacy album along with tracks from Madonna and Ariana Grande to set the right tone for the evening.

For her appearance, Williams collaborated with stylist Mariah Keopple. The two opted for a black resin corset paired with a high-waisted skirt. The outfit highlighted the importance of pieces designed specifically for athletes. Williams noted that working with a stylist who understands the build of an athlete made for a more comfortable and confident experience on the carpet.

This selection marks a shift toward intentional styling for the athlete. The process of drilling holes into a resin corset to attach straps stands as a testament to the custom nature of the look. Williams expressed satisfaction with the final result, stating that the outfit provided a cool and confident look for the weekend festivities.
