Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese was on her way to represent Team USA in the 2024 Summer Games in Paris when everything went wrong on July 22nd. One of basketball’s biggest sensations, at just 22, with superstar status and millions of followers as “Bayou Barbie,” was in a bit of a pickle: her luggage had gone missing upon arrival.
The non-competing Reese, who traveled out to watch the games, posted on social media platform X, detailing her misfortune. “They lost our bags & said we only get ‘$100 in euros,'” she wrote, detailing the minimal funds provided by authorities for emergency shopping.
Not one to let anything get her down, Reese showed up to the USA vs. Germany exhibition game in a Balenciaga dress pulled straight off the rack. When someone commented on the look, Reese revealed that she herself was surprised by it, responding that her outfit was off the rack as she still hadn’t received her missing bags.
The saga of the luggage had only just begun and went on for nearly two days until Reese received the good news. She wrote triumphantly on X, “FINALLY GOT MY BAGS! LOOKS WILL NOW BE SERVED.” The basketball sensation thanked Delta Airlines for their quick help in bringing the matter to an end.

Now that her stuff has been returned, Reese is ready to express her style in the City of Light. “Paris will get to see Bayou Barbie’s style for the next few weeks,” she promised her followers, who should be in for a fashion show during her stay.
Well, the case only proved how strong and versatile this young lady is in an athlete’s body, who did not sweat about travel mishaps but kept her poise and style. With her luggage at hand, Angel Reese is ready to soak in Olympic vibes and to cheer Team USA on in Bayou Barbie fashion.
