Caitlin Clark showed up in style to the Indiana Fever’s playoff game on Wednesday night, wearing $1,700 worth of Prada.
Clark and the Fever will be eliminated from this season’s WNBA playoffs if they suffer a second straight loss to the Connecticut Sun, who drew first blood in the opening game of the first round on Sunday.
As she walked into the Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut, the 22-year-old showed off her new Prada purchases in preparation for her biggest night in professional basketball yet.
Clark, who was named WNBA Rookie of the Year over the weekend after her sensational debut campaign for the Fever, was spotted wearing a pair of black sunglasses from the luxury Italian designer worth approximately $500.
She walked into the arena alongside her Indiana teammate Lexie Hull in $1,200 black leather pumps.

It’s unclear where the rest of Clark’s outfit came from. The budding superstar opted for a black jumpsuit and matching bag for her entrance.
If they lose to The Sun, The Fever will be eliminated from the play-offs, ending Clark’s phenomenal debut season.
The former University of Iowa sensation averaged 19.2 points and 5.7 rebounds and led the league in assists with 8.4 per game during the regular season to help Indiana secure its first playoff berth since 2016.
Her scoring prowess has translated well from college to the professional ranks. With a 35-point performance in a blowout win over the Dallas Wings on Sept. 15, Clark broke the WNBA record for rookie scorers.
She also broke the record for most assists in a season, set last season by Alyssa Thomas, with 337 assists this season.
Clark has performed well in the major competition thus far, despite the brutal treatment she endured on the field during her debut year.
During the Fever’s opening playoff loss to the Sun last weekend, she suffered a black eye after being poked in the face by rival DiJonai Carrington.

However, Carrington continued to insist the jab was in no way deliberate ahead of the second match on Wednesday night.
“I don’t even know why I would want to hit someone in the eye,” Carrington told reporters Tuesday after the Sun’s 93-69 win over the Fever in Game 1. “That to me is bullshit. But no, I didn’t. I didn’t actually know I hit her. I was trying to make a move on the ball, and I guess I did, and I hit her.
“So, it’s obviously never intentional. That’s not even the type of player I am.”
Carrington was seen laughing later in the game, which many online critics saw as a response to Clark’s eye injury.
Carrington again denied laughing about Clark’s eye injury: “I can’t laugh about something I didn’t know happened.”
The collision, which Clark admitted was “absolutely not intentional,” played out on ESPN as Connecticut took a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three first-round series.
