Last week, we counted down the Top 10 Most Stylish Male Athletes. I love a man who takes pride in his appearance, even when his good looks, talent, and well – contracts and endorsements worth millions — make having a stylish ensemble the last thing a typical person would focus on. It’s really cool to just have an awesome sense of fashion for the sake of genuine interest, you know?

This week, however, I thought it would be fun to count down the Top 10 Most Stylish Female Athletes. These ladies are all strong, beautiful, classy, comfortable in their own skin, and make great role models both in their fields and on the red carpet. Let’s dive right in!

skylar – game 2 thunder grizzlies

If you haven’t heard of Skylar Diggins yet, brace yourself–this gorgeous guard was the star of Notre Dame’s women’s basketball team, and now plays for the Tulsa Shock as the third pick in this year’s WNBA draft. Skylar’s so new to the pro-world that we couldn’t even license any pictures of her, although the above video does showcase her one-of-a-kind style.

Skylar was a star way before she went pro, though — hip-hop heavy weights like Lil Wayne, Waka Flocka Flame, and the Odd Future boys have all professed their love for her, she was one of the first females to sign with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation sports agency, and many sports commentators believe that she has the star power to completely change the perception and excitement surrounding the entire WNBA.

I love Skylar Diggins because she has the ability to infuse every outfit–even her basketball uniform–with girly glamour. She’s said in interviews that her favorite pre-game rituals are to paint her fingernails and pluck her eyebrows. At red carpet events, Skylar’s known to wear body-con dresses, chandelier earrings, glamorous eye make-up, and spiky stilettos. A basketball star who also loves beauty products and fashion is my kind of woman. Ladies, keep your eye out for Skylar — we’ve got a future superstar on our hands!
