WNBA standout Angel Reese continues to make history! Reese has become the first pro athlete to be chosen to walk the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show!
An ANGEL gets her WINGS!!!
On Wednesday, Oct. 15, the basketball star is set to become the first-ever professional athlete model to walk in the iconic show. Reese attended the event’s legendary return in 2024 and this year, she’ll make her debut as a Victoria’s Secret Angel, kicking off her global partnership with the brand.
“I literally could not stop smiling!” Reese tells PEOPLE of when she got the news. “It’s such a surreal and full-circle moment — just last year I was in the audience manifesting being on that runway, completely inspired and in awe of all the powerful women walking down the runway, and now I get to return as an Angel. This will be an unforgettable night that I’ll forever be grateful for.”
The WNBA player adds that she’s “so proud and excited” to be the first pro athlete to walk for Victoria’s Secret, and she doesn’t take the milestone lightly.
“I hope I can inspire women and girls everywhere and remind them that we can dominate in our field but also chase our goals outside of it — and for me, that’s getting to walk down fashion and entertainment’s most iconic runway,” she says.
On Oct. 8, the brand announced Missy Elliott, Madison Beer, Karol G and K-pop stars TWICE as this year’s headliners, making it another all-female line-up
