Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese made history by becoming the first professional athlete to walk in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, joining the iconic “Wings Reveal” lineup in New York.
Idman.Biz reports that Reese, 23, wore a pink floral lingerie set with blossoms and lace, paired with dramatic feathered stole and the signature angel wings. A former LSU national champion and 2023 NCAA tournament most outstanding player, Reese trained with a modeling coach to perfect her walk.
“It was destined for me,” she said before the show, expressing excitement to share the stage with top models. Celebrity stylist Law Roach, who has worked with Zendaya and Celine Dion, praised Reese’s presence and confidence, highlighting their close connection.
The show, livestreamed across platforms including YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Prime Video, featured performances by Madison Beer, Karol G, and K-pop group TWICE. Reese’s crossover from sports to fashion underscores her growing influence, blending athletic achievement with style and pop culture. The show, revived last year after a 2019 hiatus, now celebrates diversity and high-profile figures like Reese.
