WNBA player Angel Reese became the first professional athlete to walk the runway at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Wednesday, as the lingerie label — and self-proclaimed arbiter of sexiness in the 1990s — continues to rebrand following years of commercial turmoil.
The 23-year-old Chicago Sky forward joined supermodels like Bella and Gigi Hadid, and former “Angels” including Adriana Lima, in a star-studded lineup that also featured transgender, pregnant and plus-size models.
The diverse cast reflects the brand’s revamped vision for its annual extravaganza, which returned in 2024 following a six-year hiatus. Speaking backstage, Reese claimed she had “manifested this moment” while attending last year’s show.
“I posted on my (Instagram) Story last year, when I was here at the show watching front row. I said, ‘I’m gonna be a Victoria’s Secret model one day,’” she said adding: “I didn’t know it was gonna come this fast.”
