Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever have won both games since the WNBA returned, but the superstar hasn’t just enjoyed winning moments on the court but in the tunnel as well.
The Fever rolled out the red carpet for Clark as the second half of the WNBA season began following the Olympic break last week and the No. 1 overall draft pick rewarded them by serving them some fashionable pregame attire.
The 2024 WNBA season has seen a number of sartorial dunks thanks to its fashion-forward rookies like Cameron Brink and Angel Reese, but Clark’s have reportedly come at a rather high cost.
The outfit the rookie wowed in before the Fever’s win over the Phoenix Mercury (and gold medal winners Brittney Griner and Diana Taurasi) last Friday was revealed to be worth about $1,831.
Clark wore a matching grey blazer and pants set by Golden Goose The jacket cost $1,070 and the pants $670. She completed the look with Nike Dunks, which typically retail for around $115, bringing the total cost of the outfit to $1,854.
The outfit Caitlin Clark wore before the Fever’s victory over the Storm reportedly cost $20,000.

The rookie wore a kit valued at around $1,854 to arrive at the game against the Mercury.
However, it was her pre-match outfit for the next game against the Seattle Storm that really broke the bank.
As for clothing, Clark was dressed head to toe in a suit by designer Veronica Beard, featuring a $398 navy and white striped shirt and matching $428 wide-leg pants.
Her accessories saw their prices skyrocket when she donned a small Versace Medusa bag, according to her social media account. A quick counterattackwhich costs $1,495 on the luxury fashion house’s website, and a pair of Nike Air Force Ones for $115.
Clark also appeared to be wearing a Rolex watch and a pair of John Hardy bracelets, which A Fast Break estimated to be worth around $15,000 and $3,000, bringing the total cost of the outfit to a staggering $20,436 — roughly 26 percent of her WNBA base salary.
However, it is unclear which model of Rolex Clark was wearing.
However, Clark’s decadent match-day attacks occurred in the same week he apparently complained about his pay.
Clark spoke after the Fever’s win over the Storm on Sunday alongside teammate Lexie Hull, and was asked if she was going to buy season tickets for her family from now on.
Clark chimed in: “They’re pretty expensive. Our salaries… it costs almost our entire salary to get them. I’m not kidding. We need people to help us.”

She reportedly accessorized with a small Versace Medusa bag, which costs $1,495.
Hull added: “I might have to get tickets. We’ll make sure people get to work on that. We’ll have someone to take care of that, for sure.”
Clark earns a base salary of $76,000 in her debut season in the WNBA, but also has an eight-year contract with Nike worth $28 million. Her current estimated net worth is around $3 million.
Hull, who signed a three-year, $217,000 contract with the Fever, is making $77,000 this season, slightly more than Clark.
Meanwhile, the cost of Fever season tickets started at around $1,600 for the team and, given the success Clark has had in his rookie year, is only set to go up.
The 22-year-old has helped fuel a meteoric rise in interest around the WNBA after being selected first overall by the Fever in New York earlier this year.

Clark appeared to lodge a thinly veiled complaint about his salary with the Indiana Fever on Sunday.
His opening contract with the Fever lasts four years and is worth a total of $338,056.
Clark’s salary increases to $78,066 in the second year, before climbing even further to $85,873 in the third year. If his fourth-year option is picked up, Clark will earn $97,582.
She’s also in a position to make millions on the court. Clark signed an eight-year, $28 million Nike deal in April before playing her first WNBA game.
In fact, thanks to his various brand deals, including a partnership with Wilson and his NIL contracts from his college days as an Iowa Hawkeye, Clark probably doesn’t have to dig deep into his pockets to splurge on his designer outfits.
