DeWanna Bonner had a moment in the spotlight again—this time for more of the “fan love” variety. After the Phoenix Mercury forward posted a couple of stylish outfit snaps plus a clip of her signing autographs, the WNBA world paid tribute. She captioned the post simply, “DB.” That was all it took.
Angel Reese chimed in with “So gorgeous!!!” Flames of praise followed: Mercury guard Sami Whitcomb wrote, “Stunning DB!!” Natasha Howard dropped heart emojis, while Kalani Brown got playful with “Face card eating zownnnn.” Free agent Aubryanna Hall called her “Cuteee girl,” and Satou Sabally summed it up with “Icon.”
What stood out was how much this exchange showed about Angel Reese. Here’s a player who commands attention on the court—and knows how to light it up socially too. In a league that thrives on community vibes, Angel Reese demonstrated she’s as much a part of its heartbeat as anyone.
And since we’re on the discussion of lighting it up, her output can speak for itself after coming off the bench to full effect. Eighteen points, seven rebounds, putting up in Mecury’s 82-66 win over Connecticut. We can say that this performance has already gotten one hand on the Western Conference doors.
This thread of praise and power encapsulates the moment: Angel Reese and her teammates aren’t just celebrating a peer—they’re connecting, elevating, and living the WNBA vibe. Chemistry is real, and it’s happening right before our eyes.
Angel Reese Turns Heads—and Hearts—With Her DeWanna Bonner Shoutout
When Angel Reese calls someone “So gorgeous!!!,” it’s not throwaway praise. It’s the kind of affirmation that shows both star power and personality. Angel Reese took to Instagram to cheer on DeWanna Bonner, and the warm greeting lit up everyone’s feed.

That bond runs deeper than social media. Angel, a rising All-Star, represents a new wave of WNBA stars who blend swagger, performance, and relatability. Off the court, she’s become a cultural figure. On the court, she’s delivering with relentless energy. That combo makes her shoutout carry extra weight.
The league itself thrives on moments like these. A veteran like Bonner stepping up, and a rising star like Reese offering love—together, they weave a narrative of growth, community, and leveling up. That’s what the Angel Reese era of women’s basketball feels like—a series of real moments building into real legacy.
