Kelsey Plum nearly broke the internet with her leather look ahead of the Aces-Mercury season opener Tuesday night.
The Las Vegas guard went shirtless under a cropped leather vest and wore matching black pants by Alexander Wang, according to her stylist Sydney Bordonaro.
Plum — who made headlines over her impending divorce from Giants tight end Darren Waller last month — bared her abs and accessorized with silver jewelry and black tinted sunglasses.
The two-time WNBA All-Star stepped out in a pair of black boots and a small handbag at Michelob Ultra Arena, where the Aces held a ring ceremony for their 2023 championship.
Las Vegas beat the Liberty in Game 4 of the WNBA Finals to clinch their second straight title last season.
The year prior, the Aces beat the Connecticut Sun to win the 2022 WNBA Finals.

Waller and Plum filed a joint petition for a divorce on April 23 in Clark County, Nevada, according to online records viewed by The Post, after one year of marriage.
That day, Plum suggested their marriage was over in a post on her social media pages.
“I’m devastated,” she began. “I walked through fire for that man, but now I see it’s time to go.
“God has given me such an incredible life, and I’m truly so grateful for the profound love from my family and friends. One day I’ll share my story, today is not that day.”
The couple tied the knot in a quiet Vegas ceremony in March 2023.

Waller has yet to publicly address the divorce.
Earlier this month, Plum explained that she’s doing well after news of their split became public.
“Oh wow, the offseason has been tough for me. I mean, I’m sure everyone knows, it’s pretty public,” Plum told Fox 5 News in Las Vegas when a reporter asked, “How are you a stronger athlete” entering the 2024 season.
“But, you know, for me, I’m super grateful. I think my faith has grown tremendously and not just that, but I know who I am. You kind of get refined by fire.”
The Under Armour athlete is focused on helping the Aces chase a third straight title.
Plum finished with 19 points, three rebounds and five assists in the Aces’ 89-80 win over Phoenix Tuesday night.
On Monday, Plum was one of five WNBA players featured in a campaign for Skims, the official underwear partner of the WNBA, which included legend Candace Parker, veteran Seattle star Skylar Diggins-Smith, Connecticut Sun guard Dijonai Carrington and the second-overall draft pick by the Sparks, Cameron Brink.
The next day, Kingmakers Cigars announced it will launch a signature cigar for Plum, which is described as “a blend as audacious and refined as KP herself.”
Plum was seen enjoying a cigar during the Aces’ two championship parades in 2022 and ’23.
