"I look like a brick" - Sophie Cunningham opens up on her fashion flair while embracing her 'feminine' spirit at 6-foot-1

Sophie Cunningham is spearheading the fashion trend in the WNBA as more and more cameras turn toward the league and its stars. Since joining the Indiana Fever this year, the guard has become a fashion inspiration.

However, for Cunningham, dressing up hasn't been just about looking cool, but it is also one of the many ways the WNBA star embraces her identity. Cunningham appeared on the debut episode of her "Beyond Basketball with Sophie Cunningham" and dropped fashion gems for her fans.

She said that despite not being entirely comfortable being a tall girl, she had learned to embrace herself and develop confidence.

"It's not easy being like 6'1" 160lbs girl. Like, let's be honest, my shoulders are wide, I look like a brick," Cunningham said. "But you know what, I embrace that and I think that's super cool for other athletes to come in here, young boys and girls to see like whoever you are, just be confident in that, because that's gonna be your biggest superpower one day."

When the interviewer asked Cunningham to describe her fashion sense, the Fever star said she liked to express herself more on the feminine side.

"For me, like, I like to express myself being girly, being super feminine, and, like, dressing up," she said. "So, I like to, you know, show little leg, show a little bit of skin, sometimes little baggy with an oversized shirt. So, I really wake up, see how I feel, and then go from there."

Sophie Cunningham credited her mother and aunt, who are also tall, for her and her sister's improved fashion sense.

Sophie Cunningham arrives for Fever vs. Wings game on foot, in heels

Before the Indiana Fever faced the Dallas Wings on Tuesday, Sophie Cunningham had a hard time arriving at the Fever's facility. A video on X showed the guard arriving in an almost empty tunnel with just photographers ready to take some pictures.

However, when Cunningham came closer to the cameras, the toughness of her day seemed written all over. The Fever star arrived in a black outfit, drenched in sweat. As she got near the cameraperson, she lowered her head and hilariously said her car broke down. She apparently had to walk to the Gainbridge Fieldhouse arena in her heels.

However, knowing Sophie Cunningham's confident side, accepting herself, was unavoidable. The Fever star wasted no time in climbing to the carpet and posing for some pictures with a big smile on her face.
