Connecticut Sun stars Alyssa Thomas and DeWanna Bonner are currently preparing for the WNBA's 2024 All-Star weekend, which will see the WNBA All-Stars compete against Team USA. Ahead of the festivities in Phoenix, both Thomas and her girlfriend, fellow Connecticut Sun star DeWanna Bonner, both hit the orange carpet for the All-Star weekend kickoff event.
Bonner sported a dress, while Thomas wore an all-black suit complete with a diamond necklace with the Olympic rings, drawing the attention of fans who praised the couple for their fashion-forward outfits.
