WNBA Star Angel Reese Makes History Walking In 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show
As previously shared, Reese made history becoming the first professional athlete to walk in the famed VS Fashion Show. On Wednesday (October 15), the 23-year-old, 6-foot-3-inches Chicago Sky forward became the first pro athlete to strut down the iconic VS Fashion Show. She joined the brand’s high-profile “Wings Reveal” lineup in New York.
Ahead of the show, Reese spoke out and expressed her excitement about the huge feat. She said, “It was destined for me. This is already for me. I’m so happy to be sitting in this room with so many amazing models and women. The team that put this all together has been amazing. I’m so excited.” She also revealed that she even hired a modeling coach to help “perfect my walk.” She added, “I wsalk, sleep, hoop. And I hoop, sleep, walk.”
In addition to Reese making history, influencer and comedian Quenlin Blackwell made her debut on the iconic VS fashion show runway. Additionally, two-time Olympic gymnast Suni Lee also made her fashion show debut as part of the segment dedicated to Victoria’s Secrets’ Pink line. She wore short shorts and a pink hoodie adorned with miniature wings. She hit the runway as four members of the K-pop group TWICE performed live.

Law Roach Speaks On Angel Reese’s Historic Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Debut
Angel Reese received praise from celebrity stylist Law Roach ahead of her historic VS Fashion Show debut. Speaking on the Reese — a Louisiana State University champion and 2023’s NCAA tournament most outstanding player — Roach said:
“One of her biggest dreams was to walk this show. We had a conversation. I told her, ‘I don’t think that’s a big dream at all. And for that to happen in a year or less, that she’s walking the show and, I mean, she looks stunning, like the hair, the makeup, her presence, she’s ready, she’s excited. That makes me the most proud because she’s the one out of most of the girls I have, you know, the kind of deepest connection with.”
Model Avary Hutzelman Criticizes Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Officials For Letting Angel Reese, Suni Lee, Quenlin Blackwell Walk 2025 Runway
While Angel Reese received tons of praises for her historic debut on the VS Fashion Show runway, she caught some criticism from professional model and New York Fashion Week veteran Avary Hutzelman.
Taking to her TikTok, with disappointment, she slammed the casting directors. She expressed her frustration with officials dismissing traditional modeling credentials and bypassing all of that in favor of celebrities, athletes, and influencers. She fired off:
“Just because you have a pretty face does not mean you should be walking the Victoria’s Secret runway. I’ve been modeling for almost four years, I’ve done New York Fashion Week twice. So, I think I’m allowed to say whatever I want about last night’s Victoria’s Secret Show.
No one would let a model play in the WNBA championship. No one would let a model go compete for Olympic gold. So, my question for you, DM casting, why are we letting Angel Reese and Suni Lee walk the Victoria’s Secret runway? What gets even worse is letting influencers walk the runway. I do not care how beautiful you are. If we are calling this the Super Bowl of Fashion — because that’s practically what it is — you can’t just let anyone on the field.
No matter how silly it seems, it is so beyond unfair to the girls who have worked their butts off. To get to the Victoria’s Secret casting — thinking that they could possibly be casted — signed models — who have dreamed of becoming a Victoria’s Secret Angel — [are having] their spots are given to influencers and athletes. I am so sick and tired of the inclusivity bullsh*t. Let modeling be its own thing. No matter how silly it seems, you can compare the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show to a giant thing in anyone else’s respective field of work. Like it’s just not fair.
And I did not go to the casting, like, this has nothing to do with me personally, it’s a dream, obviously. But there are some people who actually put in the work, get signed, do modeling, do runway seasons — they can like actually kind of almost grasp this dream — and then their spots [are] taken by Quen[lin] Blackwell. Do you know how big of a fan I am of Quen Blackwell? Love her. Her videos kill me. I love her so much. [But,] get her off. Get her off. Why is she walking for Victoria’s Secret?
This entire year I have felt so uninspired as a model in the modeling world. It is so oversaturated and this Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show just proved my point exactly. It’s too oversaturated. I’m going to make two other videos, one of all the things that I really liked about this year’s show and another video about the things that I did not like.”

Sports Journalist Tanya Ray Fox Slams White Women Criticizing WNBA Star Angel Reese Walking In Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show
Sports journalist Tanya Ray Fox dragged White women everywhere for criticizing WNBA star Angel Reese walking in the famed VS Fashion Show this past week. While taking to her Instagram, she fired off:
“I have now seen three of the most forgettable looking White women in my life get on this app and talk about how, you know, ‘Angel Reese is of course, like beautiful whatever, but like modeling is supposed to be, you know, unattainable, unattainably thin and lean and fit and beautiful, like face cards that are undeniable. I don’t need to see people who are like me up there, it’s just like..’
Oh, babe, you’re not. You think you, you think you look like Angel Reese? You don’t think this is unattainable to you? What? This isn’t, this is a face card you think you could achieve? You’re a racist loser. You have lost all ability to perceive yourself in reality. You have been told that you are special purely because of your skin color. You are preferred purely because of your skin color for so long that your eyes and your brain don’t f**king work. You’ve actually lost the plot to such a degree that you are stupid enough to talk about Angel Reese’s face card, to talk about Angel Reese, not being supremely, like next level unachievably beautiful.
Every single woman in every single comment section on every single platform who has said a single thing about Angel Reese not being qualified in whatever way shape or form to be in Victoria’s Secret Angel, are buying into the White supremacist lie that being an average looking White woman is somehow evening the scales against beautiful Black women.
The fact that society has now started to realize that that is a value that we as White women hold, that’s been embedded in our brains… And everybody’s like, ‘No, no, we, hold on. You thought this whole time that we thought you were as attractive as Angel Reese? You thought that Kate Moss was the pinnacle of beauty? You actually thought we thought Kate Moss was the most beautiful woman alive? No, no, no, we were selling you stick White, sickly White supremacy. You didn’t get that? You f**king morons? Oh my god.'”
