Kiki Iriafen arrived on the orange carpet at the 2025 WNBA Draft at The Shed on April 14 in New York City. The USC Trojans forward is projected to be the No. 3 overall pick in the draft and she arrived at the event looking the part.
The college basketball star, who recently signed to Skechers, stepped out in a sheer bronze gown, with an sparkle-embellished bodice, and off the shoulder sleeves. The skirt on the dress was made of a sheer material that also featured jeweled designs throughout.
The gown featured a high slit on the left leg, which allowed for her footwear to pop. She paired the dress with metallic gold, strappy sandals. The shoe featured a thick toe strap across the upper and one around the ankle holding the shoe in place. The sandals also featured a round toe, which highlighted her white pedicure, and featured a heel of around three to four inches tall.

She added to her look with tasteful accessories, including orange earrings and a bracelet, and carried a mini Coach Tabby bag in metallic gold. She continued the metallic bronze and gold trend with her glam, sporting a radiant soft glam in orange, gold and brown hues. Iriafen wore her hair in a bright blonde hue with soft waves going down her side.
The orange carpet look was much more glamorous that the one she sported while visiting the Empire State Building in NYC earlier on Monday. Iriafen, along with other college basketball stars like Serena Sundell, Dominique Malonga, Aneesah Morrow, Madison Scott, Sania Feagin, Ajša Sivka, Sarah Ashlee Barker, Aziaha James, Hailey Van Lith, Shyanne Sellers, Paige Bueckers, and Saniya Rivers and more, all helped light the Empire State. For the event, she was dressed casual in a pair of jean shorts and Timberland boots, along with a gray WNBA Essential crewneck sweatshirt.
The 2025 WNBA Draft is taking place on Monday at 7:30 p.m. ET and the TV broadcast will air on ESPN.
