WNBA news: Miss Indiana reps Caitlin Clark in pageant costume

Caitlin Clark has found her way to the beauty pageant stage — sort of.

Sydney Shrewsbury was crowned Miss Indiana on April 5, putting herself in the running to be crowned “Miss USA” this week.

As part of her efforts, she represented the Indiana Fever superstar with a Clark-inspired outfit in the state costume portion of the event.

Shrewsbury donned a black glittered bandeau with Clark’s No. 22 and “INDIANA” written on both her top and shorts, paired with knee-high white heels and a black cape with a basketball net attached. To top it all off, she carried a black-and-gold glittered basketball, similar to the color scheme of Clark’s Iowa Hawkeyes.

“Reppin Ms. Clark & the Hoosier state with pride!!” Shrewsbury wrote on Instagram showing off the outfit.

Ahead of the state costume show, Shrewsbury posted a photo of herself in a shirt that read, “Everyone watches women’s sports.”

“In 49 states it’s just basketball, but this is #INDIANA,” Shrewsbury captioned her photo.

“Indiana proudly claims several basketball legends including Caitlin Clark, Larry Bird, Reggie Miller, and Tyrese Halliburton. From the free throw line to the Miss USA stage, Indiana doesn’t just play the game—it defines it,” Shrewsbury said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
