Summary
This week, Azzi and Ashanti sit down with celebrity stylist Sydnee Paige — the creative mind behind Azzi’s viral SLAM magazine cover — to break down every detail of how the shoot came together. From the custom KidSuper suit made from chopped-up jerseys to the nail art honoring UConn greats, the trio unpack all the behind-the-scenes chaos, fashion magic, and group chat-level trust that made the shoot one for the books.
Sydnee opens up about her journey from college athlete to top stylist, the lessons she learned grinding in New York fashion, and how she brings authenticity to styling athletes like Skylar Diggins, J.Lo, and Cardi B. Then things take a turn in FAFO fashion with a rapid-fire game of “Fudd or Dud”, where the crew rates everything from red cartoon boots to cargo skirts, ballet flats, and socks-with-heels energy.
