LAVISHLY DEMURE

Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson shows us what’s inside her Labubu-laden Louis Vuitton bag. The WNBA MVP always carries two pairs of glasses, depending on what the occasion calls for, and pulls out her favorite snack, a bag of Sour Patch Kids. The most meaningful item in A’ja’s bag is her late grandmother’s coin purse, which she now uses to carry her ID cards. “I don’t put coins in it because my heart’s in it.”
