Indiana Fever players have made plenty of headlines for their tunnel fashion this season, and Lexie Hull made sure she wasn’t left out before Monday night’s game against the Phoenix Mercury. As fans poured into Gainbridge Fieldhouse for a key matchup between Indiana and Phoenix, Hull arrived in a sleek all-black outfit that quickly drew attention across social media.

The Fever guard-forward paired black shorts with a fitted black crop top and tall black boots, creating a clean and stylish look ahead of tipoff. Hull completed the outfit with her long blonde hair flowing over her shoulders as she made her way into the arena. While teammates Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham often generate plenty of buzz with their game-day arrivals, Hull’s look was one of the most talked-about pregame fits of the night.
Hull continues to embrace a larger spotlight
Hull has become one of the most popular players on Indiana’s roster over the last two seasons. The former Stanford star earned a bigger role through her hustle, defense and ability to impact games without needing the ball in her hands. Those traits have made her a fan favorite in Indiana and an important piece of the Fever’s rotation.
As the Fever’s national profile has grown, so has the attention surrounding players throughout the roster. Fans now pay attention to everything from pregame arrivals to postgame celebrations, and Hull has increasingly found herself in the spotlight alongside some of the league’s biggest stars. Monday’s arrival was another example of that growing popularity.
Fever looking to get back on track
The fashion conversation only lasted until game time. Indiana entered Monday night’s contest looking to snap a two-game losing streak after back-to-back losses against the Atlanta Dream. The Fever remained firmly in the playoff picture but understood the importance of protecting home court against a Phoenix team looking to build momentum of its own.

With Clark, Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell leading the way, Indiana will once again rely on players like Hull to provide energy, defense and winning plays throughout the game. Those contributions don’t always generate headlines, but they have become a major reason why Hull remains such a valuable piece of the Fever’s success.

Fans quickly noticed Hull’s latest look
Before the focus shifted to basketball, however, fans couldn’t help but notice Hull’s all-black ensemble. The combination of black shorts, a black top and knee-high boots gave the outfit a polished look that stood out among the many pregame arrivals around the WNBA on Monday.

For a player known more for diving after loose balls than making fashion statements, Hull proved she can turn heads before tipoff as well.
