          The stage is set for the WNBA Finals.

          Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream will go toe-to-toe with Gabby Williams and the Golden State Valkyries, both on a quest to win the first WNBA title for their franchises.

          However, the battle doesn't necessarily begin at tipoff -- it starts in the pregame tunnel, where players compete with their game-day outfits to see who stepped the hardest.

          Expect designer and custom jackets, shoes, heels, bags and accessories to bring out their outfits the most. Reese, the "Playoff Barbie," is expected to put on a show with her pregame outfits, but the question everyone wants to know is who competed with the Baltimore native's threshold?

          With Game 1 taking place at Chase Center, here are Saturday's top arrivals.
