WNBA Star Kelsey Plum Ditches Bra in Leather Vest at Season Opener: See Her Breakover Style Moment

Kelsey Plum is starting the WNBA season in style.

The basketball star, 29, arrived at the Las Vegas Aces ring ceremony and season opener against the Phoenix Mercury in a risqué leather outfit. The star of the head-to-toe Alexander Wang ensemble was a cropped sleeveless vest — which Plum wore unbuttoned for a daring braless look.

For the event on Tuesday, May 14, she also wore Alexander Wang’s low-waisted crocheted leather pants and completed the look with Terrain Crackle leather motorcycle boots and a half-moon crossbody 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 the hall.

Her stylist Sydney Bordonaro shared a video of the star dancing in the ensemble. “Game YAY MOOOOOOOD,” she wrote via an Instagram Stories clip.

Pluma’s sexy leather moment could definitely be described as a “revenge outfit.” On April 23, she and New York Giants tight end Darren Waller, 31, filed for divorce after a year of marriage.

Immediately after the application, Plum shared the news on social media.

“I’m devastated. I went through fire for that man, but now I see it’s time to go,” she wrote on Instagram Stories.

“The offseason was tough for me,” the athlete said on May 3 interview with Fox affiliate KVVU-TV. “I’m sure everyone knows, it’s pretty public, but as for me, I’m super-grateful. I think my faith has grown tremendously. And not only that, but I know who I am, and how, somehow, fire refines you.”

“I’m excited for this season, I’m excited for Las Vegas, try to do it again,” Plum continued. “And I know our fans are with us, I know this organization is with us, I know our team is as tight as we’ve ever been and so we really embody the Aces against 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. Fellow WNBA icons Candace Parker, Cameron Brink, Dijonai Carrington and Skylar Diggins-Smith also participated in the campaign.

“As athletes, for so long [been about] you go through a period 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.”
