Azzi Fudd turned heads at the 2025 WNBA Draft with a stunning vintage-inspired black wrap dress featuring a deep V-neckline and a sheer flowing skirt. She completed the look with a diamond choker and styled her hair in a sleek, straightened middle part, framing her face elegantly.
More than being the overall No. 1 pick in the draft, Bueckers is also set to receive further honors on her WNBA debut.
The city council of Hopkins, Minnesota, recently passed a motion to honor basketball star Paige Bueckers for her remarkable achievements. It was unanimously approved during an April 15 council meeting.
This special recognition coincides with Bueckers’ professional debut in the WNBA, where she will play for the Dallas Wings against the Minnesota Lynx on May 162. The proclamation designates May 16 as “Paige Bueckers Day” and temporarily renames the city for a day to celebrate her accomplishments. Local businesses in Hopkins are joining the celebration by hosting themed specials and watch parties for the Wings’ season opener.

The game is already setting records, with ticket prices reaching unprecedented levels, as the cheapest tickets are priced at $255, and courtside seats soar past $5,000, including fees and taxes.
In response to the overwhelming demand, the Dallas Wings have relocated the game from their regular venue to the much larger American Airlines Center, home of the Dallas Mavericks. Clark herself supported the move, acknowledging the tremendous draw that Bueckers brings to the WNBA stage.
