There were 11 members of the championship team, but Paige Bueckers was absent since she is with the WNBA. All the players, from dresses to suits, looked as glamorous as ever.

On Thursday, Arnold posted a carousel of photos of her ESPY fit on Instagram.

"Girly pop takes the ESPYs," she captioned the photos, adding a nail polish emoji.

In the caption, Arnold tagged her stylist, jewelry provider, hair and makeup artist and photographer. She wore a white pinstripe suit with two rows of buttons, layered pearl necklaces, and black shoes that paired well with a black bag.

KK Arnold says Sarah Strong is her favorite for playful teammate moments

KK Arnold often posts on social media and participates in dance-offs. During a conversation with Kaleena Smith on Overtime Select, Arnold was asked which of her current UConn teammates she would go live on, now that Paige Bueckers has left the team.

"I ain't gonna lie, all of us are bad," she replied. "Like not in that way, but like it would just be like all over the place. I'm gonna say Ice (Brady) or Sarah Strong."

Arnold’s perspective suggests that a live stream with any of her teammates would be chaotic and entertaining.

"I just feel like it would just be dumb," KK added. "We would just be sitting there laughing, goofing around. It would be pretty entertaining, that's why."

Arnold will enter her junior season this fall and is expected to make the starting five alongside Strong.
