Known for her admiration of the basketball legend, Edwards donned a striking Kobe Bryant-themed jacket that captured the attention of fans and media alike.
Edwards, who has often expressed her love for Kobe, complemented her look with a basketball purse she previously showcased at the 2024 WNBA Draft. Her dedication to honoring Bryant’s legacy was evident not only in her attire but also in her choice of jersey number—24, the same number Bryant wore during his illustrious career.
