We love to see it! WNBA star Angel Reese has made history becoming the first professional athlete to walk in the famed Victoria’s Secret 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.
During an interview before the show began, Reese said, “It was destined for me.” She added, “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.”
Reese said she even hired a modeling coach to help “perfect my walk.” She continued, “I walk, sleep, hoop. And I hoop, sleep, walk.”

During her big debut, Reese hit the Victoria Secret runway wearing a pink floral lingerie set. The fit was adorned with pink blossoms and lace detailing. Draped across her arms was a dramatic stole. The soft pink wrap featured furry rose-like textures.
In another look, Reese hit the runway with another matching pink bra and panty. Overtop the bra was a cut-up pink shirt, showing off her chest and side abdomen. The look left her shiny, toned legs bare as she strut down the runway. On her back, Reese wore Victoria’ Secret signature angel white wings. In the background, Lumidee‘s 2003 hit “Never Leave You (Uh Oooh, Uh Oooh)” played.

Angel Reese received praise from celebrity stylist Law Roach ahead of her historic Victoria’s Secret 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.”
