Hailey Van Lith shuts down the internet every time with her presence.

When it comes to breaking the internet, Hailey Van Lith does it so effortlessly. The 2025 WNBA rookie with the Chicago Sky and 2024 Olympic 3×3 bronze medalist was spotted courtside at an NBA game.

Van Lith was spotted courtside at a Dallas Mavericks game. She visited the American Airlines Center to watch the team as they made their way through this difficult 2025-2026 campaign. Van Lith sat along the baseline and pulled up in style with her brother, Tanner.

She stole the show with a schoolgirl-inspired fit rocking pigtails, glasses, and a preppy sweater.

“Lord have mercy..,” a post on X that has received more than 1.7 million views said.

Chicago Sky Point Guard Hailey Van Lith Had Social Media Going Crazy

The Chicago Sky drafted Hailey Van Lith, but she wasn’t featured as much as fans would’ve liked. She was selected as the No. 11 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft.

As a highly touted guard out of TCU, she was the first Big 12 player chosen in the draft and joined a rebuilding Sky team. Even in a rebuilding phase, she couldn’t get much time on the court to show her talent.

Either way, fans still always love seeing any part of her whenever they can. That is why she went viral on social media this week in her schoolgirl outfit.

“That classic school look really works for her,” one fan said.

“She’s top 5,” a second fan wrote.

“HOW did Jalen Suggs pull that?” a third fan asked about the past relationship with Hailey Van Lith.


“Heterosexual players in the WNBA look good. They need to promote them more and make them the face of the league,” a fourth person wrote.

“She’s very underrated,” one final fan commented.


Hailey Van Lith has been thrilling fans with bikini shots for months. Even when she dresses up, she still gets viral attention.

In the meantime, the 5-foot-9 guard is hoping that she can get more playing time during the 2026 season. In 2025, she recorded the most points in a single season in TCU history. That was one of the reasons the Chicago Sky selected the TCU guard with the 11th overall pick in the first round of the 2025 WNBA Draft.

Being healthy can help, as Van Lith dealt with a nagging injury that really affected her first year in the WNBA. She put up 3.5 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in her rookie campaign.
