After a whirlwind end to the 2024 WNBA Finals, the New York Liberty players have celebrated in a variety of Seafoam green looks. While most players (and fans) are focused on the athletic preparations for a potential championship, there's also the style dimension.&nbsp;

Game 5 brought serious, elevated tunnel style from the players while Game 4 featured intentional sneaker choices, like Sabrina Ionescu wearing green after seeing a University of Oregon win. With record-breaking viewership for the Finals, players also may strategically debut new sneakers or get their braids done, like Natisha Hiedeman.&nbsp;

As soon as the game ends, winning players have customized slogan T-shirts for in-stadium photographs before the celebrations start. Following the Championship Parade that happened last week, take a closer look to discover style notes from the action at Game 5 and the Liberty’s city celebration. 

The New York Liberty's leading players bring their finest suits out for their tunnel moment at Game 5. Breanna Stewart wears a dark gray suit and matching wide shorts, with gold jewelry and a yellow gold watch. Sabrina Ionescu keeps her simple, sleek style but adds a light purple blazer to elevate her Finals look.

#1 TUNNEL SUITS

Finishing her season of sneaker debuts, Sabrina Ionescu wears a new pair of Nike sneakers called the Sabrina 2 in a "Lily" colorway. Although these sneakers won't be released until summer of 2025, its strategic debut allows these sneakers to go down in history as her Championship-winning model. The color is inspired by Ionescu's mother, Liliana. Nyara Sabally also wears a model from Ionescu's collaboration with Nike, the Sabrina 2's in the "Conductor" colorway. 

#2 SABRINA’S SIGNATURE

Multiple players across both teams enhanced their on-court powers by wearing pink on their sneakers. On the Liberty, Kayla Thornton wears a pair of New Balance Two WXY V5 Basketball Shoes in an electrifying pink and purple colorway. Betnijah Laney wears a pair of adidas Harden Volume 8 Shoes in a 'Miami Nights' colorway, with pink and touches of neon blue. 

On the Minnesota Lynx, Alanna Smith wears a Nike LeBron XXI sneaker in pink with metallic details. Courtney Williams wears the Triple Double in "Pink GRL" by Moolah Kicks, with a subtle Y2K-inspired leopard print pattern. 

#3 PINK SNEAKERS

Making a courtside appearance during Game 5, Chicago Sky player Angel Reese wears a custom split-team top by New York City-based designer Jocelyn Hu. The top features half of a Breanna Stewart jersey and half of a Napheesa Collier jersey, which reminds fans of the unity amongst the W's players. After rocking Chanel purses all season, Reese also wears a forest green variation for the final look of her first season. 

#4 ANGEL REESE CUSTOM

Known as Big Ellie, the New York Liberty's mascot wears an impressive custom outfit by Mario and Lee for the 2024 WNBA Championship Parade. Reminiscent of the Jeff Hamilton jackets that mark historic championship wins in other sports leagues, Ellie the Elephant wears a Seafoam Green leather jacket with the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty and the WNBA logo. Paired with matching pants, Big Ellie also dons an Off-White purse to finish her celebratory look.
