Sophie Cunningham’s Most Fire Tunnel Moments With the Indiana Fever

A star both on the court and off, Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham has become an athlete to watch for both her game play and her personal sense of style. The WNBA pro had a solid performance this season, averaging 7.9 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game during the regular 2026 season. The 30-year-old professional athlete also maintains a 41.9% 3-point field goal percentage.

Going into this season, Cunningham was an unrestricted free agent for less than a week before resigning with the Fever. The exciting news that the Missouri native was rejoining the team came just days after she announced that she was joining USA Sports as an athlete contributor on the USA Network.

While she was selected as the 13th overall pick by the Phoenix Mercury during the 2019 WNBA Draft, Cunningham was traded to the Fever in February 2025. Unfortunately, she sustained a right MCL tear during a game against the Connecticut Sun in August 2025 and was sidelined for the remainder of the 2025 WNBA season. Despite her season-ending injury, Cunningham averaged a 43.2% 3-point field goal percentage during the 2025 regular season.

In addition to being a winner out on the court, the athlete always nails it in the fashion department. Below, we’re throwing it back to a few of Cunningham’s best tunnel fashion moments of late. And while the Fever were eliminated from the 2026 WNBA Playoffs on Thursday, Oct. 1, following a 94-83 loss to the Las Vegas Aces, we’re already dreaming of Cunningham’s tunnel fashion to come next season.

Who says you can’t wear white after Labor Day? Cunningham bucked fashion rules and rocked a monochromatic look in all white ahead of Game 2 against the Aces on Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2026.

Head to toe animal print

Ahead of Game 1 of the 2026 WNBA Playoffs on Sept. 27, 2026, Cunningham arrived at Michelob ULTRA Arena in head to toe animal print, featuring a jacket and shorts by LaPointe. While the Fever may have lost the game, Cunningham remained a winner in this look as far as we’re concerned.

Crisp trousers

Cool girl energy

Styled in a SYRN corset along with a pair of Adidas pants, Cunningham embodied model-off-duty energy before taking on the Dallas Wings on Aug. 14, 2026.

Lace-up leather shorts

Black leather micro shorts were a favorite of Cunningham’s throughout the 2026 regular season, and this lace-up pair worn with a simple top with a plunging neckline made for a standout look. She accessorized with silver heels and statement earrings before taking on the Dream on June 4, 2026.

Ladylike vibes

After being sidelined from the remainder of the 2025 WNBA season due to injury the prior August, Cunningham returned to the court (and the pregame tunnels) for the regular 2026 season in style. In this snap, captured on May 13, 2026, she rocked a strapless blue dress trimmed in lace.

Vest in the business

For the Fever’s matchup against the Sparks on Aug. 5, 2025, Cunningham opted for a gray checkered vest paired with black trousers and pointed-toe pumps.

Cropped leather

White mini moment

Another monochromatic moment was Cunningham’s choice for her team’s matchup against the Sparks on July 5, 2025. She paired a figure-hugging white mini dress with white pointed-toe pumps and accessorized with gold hoop earrings.

Anything but basic black

A black pinstripe button-up, pants and heels made for a chic pregame ensemble ahead of the Fever vs. Minnesota Lynx game on July 1, 2025. Cunningham’s all-black fit was accented with gold jewelry and oval sunnies rimmed in the same metal hue.

Accented white lace

Who says you can’t incorporate lace into workwear? Cunningham’s ’fit for the Fever’s game against the Sparks on June 26, 2025, featured a white lace button-up top and shorts with blue pinstriped cuffs. She paired the look with silver sandals.

Ladylike businesswear

Cunningham meant business in this vest and shorts set, which she donned for her team’s matchup against the Liberty on June 14, 2025. She casually draped a coordinated blazer over her shoulders for the ultimate “it girl” accessory and wore pointed-toe pumps on her feet.

Mixed materials, all in black

In another display of monochromatic fashion, Cunningham’s outfit for the Fever vs. Chicago Sky game on June 7, 2025, incorporated several different materials.
