    Caitlin Clark’s pre-game outfit turns heads ahead of Indiana Fever match

    Caitlin Clark led the 15-16 Indiana Fever to a narrow home 84-80 victory over the 22-8 Connecticut Sun in style...both on and off the basketball court.

    The former Iowa Hawkeye showed up to Gainbridge Fieldhouse donning a sleek outfit featuring a short black crop top and shiny silver pants.

    The popular X account Clark Report , tracking practically all of Clark's exploits on and off the court this season, aptly labeled the outfit "a tin out of tin."

    This wasn't the star guard's only outfit this season to turn heads. During All-Star weekend, the Indiana Fever player wore a stylish Armani body-con dress.

    More importantly for her team: Clark also delivered on the court. She poured in 19 points on 7-17 shooting to go along with five assists and five rebounds.

    Clark also broke the rookie three-point record, notching her 86th of the yea r to break a previous tie she held with Atlanta Dream star Rhyne Howard.

    However, she was not the Fever's top scorer on the night: that honor went to Kelsey Mitchell. The forward led the way with 23 points with a tidy 8/14 mark on her field goals.

    That gives Mitchell 20 or more points in each of the Fever's five games since the Olympic break, corresponding with a 4-1 record for Indiana.

    “I think the best part about it is that our chemistry continues to get better,” Mitchell said during a postgame interview when asked about her synergy with Clark.

    “I value what Caitlin brings to the table because not only does she have the pace and the space, but she can shoot the lights out and you just got to be ready when your number’s called with a person like that.”

    Speaking of the Olympics: gold medalists Simone Biles and Gabby Thomas were both in attendance to cheer on the Fever. The pair combined for six golds at the Paris games -- three for Biles in gymnastics, and three for Thomas in sprints.

    The pair posed with Indiana Fever players in the locker room falling the game, all of whom were visibly in awe of Biles. “EVERYONE WATCHES WOMENS SPORTS," Biles tweeted . alongside a video of her greeting the team. "So happy to be able to go support! my first of many WNBA games."

    The Fever have climbed from the bottom of the WNBA standings to within half a game of the veteran Phoenix Mercury for the league's six-seed for the playoffs. They travel to Seattle to play the Storm on Friday, August 30.
