Angel Reese, the LSU basketball star known as the Bayou Barbie, has formally declared for the WNBA draft less than two days after the Tigers’ season ended with a loss to Caitlin Clark and Iowa in the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament.

The 21-year-old forward, who shared her decision in an exclusive to Vogue published Wednesday and paired with a glossy photo shoot, will forgo her senior season at the Baton Rouge school to make the leap into the professional ranks along with Clark, who declared for the draft in February.
