Sonia Citron had several firsts awaiting her on 2025 WNBA Draft night. The big one, of course, was hearing her name called third to join her debut team in the league—one of sixteen basketball players who'd earned the honor this season. Another came in the form of her outfit: an entirely custom Coach look marking her first time wearing the designer, ever.
The former Notre Dame guard knew about Coach and its stable of It-bags like the Tabby, the Empire, and the Brooklyn, of course. Carrying them, however, wasn't quite on her radar even if it was on her friends'. "I never was a big fashion person growing up," she tells Marie Claire a few hours before she'd arrive at the WNBA Draft's orange carpet.
