For weeks, Seattle Storm fans had been on edge, unsure if their team would punch a ticket to the 2025 WNBA<\/a> playoffs. On Sept. 9, those nerves finally settled as the Storm pulled off a nail-biting 74-73 victory over the Golden State Valkyries to secure their postseason berth.<\/p>\n

But while the win was dramatic, it wasn\u2019t the only thing lighting up social media. Instead, it was Storm guard Skylar Diggins who stole the spotlight \u2014 not with her game, but with a pregame outfit that went viral.<\/p>\n

What Was Skylar Diggins\u2019 Pregame Outfit?<\/p>\n

The moment went mainstream when Complex Sports <\/a>posted on Instagram, showcasing Diggins in a protein puffer jacket. What made it jaw-dropping? The jacket was crafted using 422 grams of protein from real dairy milk<\/p>\n

This wasn\u2019t the first time Diggins made fashion headlines. Back in May<\/a>, she turned heads with a striking denim-on-denim ensemble. Styled by Manny Jay, the look featured a tailored longline coat with subtle fading and structured high-waist pants that gave her a polished appearance.<\/p>\n

Now let\u2019s look at what fans had to say on Instagram regarding the bizarre protein puffer outfit .<\/p>\n

How Did Fans React to the Outfit?<\/p>\n

Fans were divided on whether the protein jacket was genius or simply bizarre.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy,\u201d wrote one fan. Another commented, \u201cThis is fashion?\u201d<\/p>\n

One comparison took it further: \u201cThis makes Lady Gaga\u2019s meat dress look tame.\u201d<\/p>\n

For context, Gaga famously rocked a raw meat gown<\/a> at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, sparking international debate. More than a decade later, fans say Diggins may have outdone even that spectacle.<\/p>\n

Not everyone was laughing. Some took aim at Diggins\u2019 on-court performance, arguing her attention was misplaced. She finished with 10 points, four rebounds, and six assists, but critics said she could have done more.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd performed terrible, more focus on the fit than being prepared for the game,\u201d one fan wrote.<\/p>\n

On the flip side, a few defended her. One supporter gushed, \u201cLove it! So much fun working on this campaign,\u201d praising the creativity and applauding Diggins for pushing boundaries.<\/p>\n

A Look at the Storm-Valkyries Game<\/p>\n

As for the game itself, Seattle\u2019s path to victory was anything but smooth. The Storm trailed by six after the opening quarter and by three at halftime. Golden State kept control well into the second half, but Seattle refused to fold.<\/p>\n

In the fourth quarter, the Storm erupted with 21 points, capped by Erica Wheeler\u2019s clutch game-winning jumper<\/a>. That basket sealed the win and officially locked the Storm into the 2025 playoffs.<\/p>\n
