WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark continued to enjoy her first pro offseason as she stunned on the red carpet just as much as she did on the court.

Aside from the occasional appearance at a basketball or soccer game, the Rookie of the Year has kept a relatively low profile since her debut pro season ended last month.

But the Indiana Fever star resurfaced over the weekend as she attended the Golden Gala, a fundraiser for the Pacers Foundation that benefits the local Indiana community.

The 22-year-old wowed in a chic strapless black dress and completed the elegant look with silver accents on her heels, handbag and jewelry.

Clark was smartly dressed and posed next to her boyfriend Connor McCaffery, who dressed up in a white shirt, black pants and a gray suit jacket.

McCaffery, the son of Iowa men's basketball coach Fran McCaffery, actually worked for the Pacers after playing for the Hawkeyes in college. Now the 26-year-old assistant is entering his first season in Indianapolis under excellent Butler head coach Thad Matta.

Clark was also pictured with her NBA counterpart, Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton, and Indiana's two point guards, dressed in all black.

Her red carpet appearance comes amid speculation about the star rookie's offseason plans after the WNBA season officially ended Sunday night with the New York Liberty's championship victory over the Minnesota Lynx.

The new Unrivaled women's basketball league will reportedly launch an all-out offensive to lure Clark into its ranks.

Co-founded by WNBA stars Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier, the league will employ a 3-on-3 style and feature a total of 30 top players such as Kelsey Plum, Brittney Griner and Angel Reese.

However, she has yet to land one of the WNBA's biggest blockbuster names in Clark at the end of her rookie season.

But after securing a new TV deal, Unrivaled is reportedly not letting that stop it from moving forward.

According to a report from Front Office Sports, the league will launch its offense in the coming weeks with a “full press” to sign the former Iowa Hawkeye.

The 3-on-3 league is said to have bided its time, in no hurry to put pressure on Clark, who is enjoying the offseason after her debut season in the pros with the Indiana Fever.

However, it appears ready to step up its game in the hope that the lure of a lucrative paycheck and the prospect of playing alongside some of the biggest names in the industry can lure Clark.
