STYLE STOLEN THE SHOW! Veteran Sophie Cunningham turns heads with a bold leopard print look at the Indiana Fever vs. Dallas Wings game!

Sophie Cunningham Steals the Show With Daring Tunnel Fit Before Fever-Wings Rookie Showdown

Sunday’s much-hyped WNBA clash between the Indiana Fever and Dallas Wings was supposed to be all about superstar rookies Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers finally sharing the court. But before the opening tip, it was veteran Sophie Cunningham who set social media ablaze—thanks to a tunnel walk that instantly became the talk of the league.

Caitlin Clark arrived at Gainbridge Fieldhouse channeling retro glam in a bold 1970s-inspired disco suit, putting a modern spin on vintage chic. Paige Bueckers, meanwhile, kept it cool and understated, letting her quiet confidence speak volumes with a laid-back, effortless look.

Just as fans thought the pregame fashion parade had reached its peak, Sophie Cunningham made her entrance—and changed the entire vibe.

A tunnel-style icon in her own right, the 28-year-old Fever forward turned heads in a fearless crop top and fierce leopard-print jeans, baring her toned abs and exuding unshakeable confidence. Within minutes, she was trending on social media, with fans hailing her as the night’s fashion MVP.

“Sophie already won before tipoff,” one fan declared online. Another dubbed her the “Leopard Print MVP.”

Cunningham, now in her seventh WNBA season, may not always dominate the box score—averaging 5.8 points and 4.1 rebounds per game—but she never fails to make her presence felt. Whether it’s with gritty defense, veteran leadership, or headline-grabbing tunnel looks, she’s become one of the league’s most stylish and charismatic personalities.

From twinning with Clark in coordinated fits, to repping the Indiana Pacers, to pushing the boundaries with bold, edgy ensembles, Cunningham has built a reputation for always bringing something fresh to the tunnel. And on Sunday, she may have delivered her best look yet.
