Kelsey Plum and the Las Vegas Aces were welcomed at the White House as a part of that tradition that recognizes the defending WNBA champions. The entire team was welcomed by President Joel Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday. It was all picture-perfect when the two-time defending champions showed up in classy outfits for their big day.
Plum looked stunning in her candy-colored ensemble. She wore a matching color, tailored suit and trousers, pairing them with white sneakers. Reigning WNBA Finals MVP A'ja Wilson also showed up in a yellow ensemble paired with white sneakers.
The team looked ready for the occasion. This was Vegas’ second consecutive visit to the White House. They are the only team in league history to repeat.
The Aces defeated the New York Liberty in the finals last season. Two-time league MVP A'ja Wilson won her maiden Finals MVP. Vegas defeated the Connecticut Sun for their first franchise title.
President Biden took the perfect opportunity to mention that he was seeking another term as president. Alluding to the Aces repeating their title run, Biden said:
“I kind of like that back-to-back stuff.”
