Connecticut Sun star Olivia Nelson-Ododa has set social media ablaze after arriving for the team’s season opener in a daring, see-through ensemble.
The 6-foot-5 center turned up their clash against the New York Liberty sporting a sheer, off-the-shoulder tan dress that left very little to the imagination.
The Connecticut Sun’s official account shared photos of the look, captioned ‘A lil off-the-shoulder moment,’ which quickly racked up nearly 200,000 views.
Fans were quick to flood the comments with praise, with many labeling the 25-year-old ‘gorgeous’ and a ‘dangerous woman’ both on and off the court.
One enthusiastic fan commented on X: ‘Not only is she sweet on the court, she’s gorgeous off the court’.
Another wrote: ‘Olivia stepped out and shut the block down. That fit is clean.’Â

The ‘Tunnel Walk’ has become a massive marketing tool for the WNBA, allowing players like Nelson-Ododa to connect with a fashion-forward audience.
The Sun eventually fell to their opponents in a tough opening match, but Nelson-Ododa’s pre-game attire remained the biggest talking point of the night.Â
Despite a 106-75 loss, the center managed to provide a spark off the bench, logging 15 minutes of action in the highly anticipated season debut.
Nelson-Ododa finished the night with one point and two rebounds, though her defensive presence was felt with a steal and three assists during her time on the floor.
While the box score didn’t favor the Sun this time, the team remains a top contender in the Eastern Conference as they look to bounce back in their next outing.
