LA Sparks youngster Rickea Jackson stunned fans on X (formerly Twitter) with her outfit at the 2025 WNBA draft on Monday. Jackson wore an all-black dress for the orange carpet, as she was one of the hosts, together with internet personality Hannah O'Flynn.

During one of the most-anticipated WNBA events of the year, Jackson prepared to put on an outfit that would be remembered by many. Before stepping foot on the carpet, the Sparks forward took a short video of herself wearing the outfit.

Supporters paused to acknowledge Jackson's attire for the occasion. Here are a few comments made by the fans.

Leading up to the draft, others remembered what Jackson wore last year. The Sparks star had two outfits at the event. One attire she had was red clothing similar to a pantsuit. The other was a white, glittery, two-piece suit with a coat and slacks.

Rickea Jackson reacts to Dominique Malonga's viral dunk

On the orange carpet with O'Flynn, Rickea Jackson discussed Dominique Malonga's viral slam. The online celebrity began by praising the league's access to international talent.

One of the top players from outside of the U.S. that's expected to soon make noise is Dominique Malonga. The 6-foot-6 prospect is from France and is the first Frenchwoman to dunk a basketball on record. After the mention of her dunk, the Sparks forward expressed how excited she got from seeing the youngster's athleticism.

The dunk happened during a EuroCup Women's game. Malonga had a fastbreak opportunity which led to her dunking the ball with one hand.

She is expected to be one of the top picks in the 2025 draft. Many believe Malonga will be the second pick, which belongs to the Seattle Storm.
