On April 16, 2024, Caitlin Clark was selected as the number one pick by the Indiana Fever at the WNBA draft held at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York City. The 22-year-old basketball player stood out not only for her athletic prowess but also for her fashion choice, donning a designer outfit from Prada. This marked the first occasion that an athlete wore Prada at the WNBA draft. Clark’s selection followed an impressive college basketball career at Iowa, where her performance significantly boosted viewership figures and drew considerable attention to women’s basketball.

At the draft event, the atmosphere was vibrant, with excited fans and a high level of anticipation. WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert announced the picks, and the choice of Clark by the Fever was met with cheers and applause. The event was both a celebration of the new talent entering the league and a signal of the WNBA’s ongoing growth and popularity.
