The Seattle Storm’s three-game winning streak came to an end with a tough 82-77 loss to the Minnesota Lynx on Tuesday. But it wasn’t just the game that had the fans' attention - Skylar Diggins also impressed fans with her unique pre-game sartorial choice.
Diggins went viral on social media for her daring fashion choice, turning heads with an eccentric ensemble. She styled a Marc Jacobs bra-jacquard t-shirt with black bermudas. The Storm guard added a leather jacket, bold animal print boots and a COS leather bag to complete her unique look.

Skylar Diggins ties Sue Bird’s 19-year-old franchise record
Skylar Diggins wasted no time in making a significant impact for the Storm this season. In just five games, there’s been a clear shift in her offensive strategy – taking on more playmaking responsibilities than ever before. While it’s still early in the season, she’s already averaging a career-high 7.6 assists per game.
Her highlight moment came on May 23, during the Seattle Storm’s clash against the Phoenix Mercury. Skylar Diggins scored a game-high 24 points on 50% shooting. But her passing stole the spotlight, as she dished out 14 assists.
This not only marked the best performance of her 11-year career, but also etched her name in the history book, tying Sue Bird’s single-game assist franchise record set on July 1, 2006.
