The official theme for the Gala is “Costume Art,” where a lucky designer will showcase A’ja Wilson’s basketball figure, highlighting the connection between clothing and the body. Naturally, there is no one better suited for this than the Vegas Queen herself!
Meanwhile, A’ja recently teased exciting news on the Hot Ones podcast about the 2026 release of her second signature shoe.
As she revealed,
“Y’all be on the lookout, we got A’2 on the way a little bit… So, yea, some good things lined up.”

With her legendary status on and off the court, the Las Vegas Aces will no doubt use the off-season to build around their Superstar and look to continue the Champion’s legacy.
