A Historic First for Sports and Fashion
Chicago Sky star Angel Reese is trading the basketball court for the catwalk, announcing she will be walking in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on October 15. This groundbreaking move makes her the first professional athlete to ever earn her “wings” and participate in the world-famous event.
Reese shared her excitement with her followers on Instagram, officially confirming the partnership.
“Stepping into a dream: From Angel to a Victoria Secret ANGEL,” the 23-year-old posted. “I’m finally getting my wings… it feels like destiny. Wings on, heels ready…Catch me on the runway.”
Victoria’s Secret Welcomes Its First Athlete Angel
The legendary lingerie brand celebrated the news with its own announcement, posting a video of the WNBA player in a pink robe, black lingerie, and classic white feather wings. The post emphasized the significance of the collaboration.
“Angel Reese, welcome to the runway. The first professional athlete angel…major is an understatement,” the brand’s post read, cementing the historic nature of the announcement.
The Evolving Legacy of the VS Fashion Show
After being canceled in 2019, the Victoria’s Secret show made its return last year as the brand works to reinvent its image. Reese’s participation is another bold step in this new direction. The basketball star is no stranger to the event, having attended the revamped show in 2023, but this year she moves from the audience to the main stage.
