History was made in New York as WNBA star Angel Reese stepped onto the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway, becoming the first professional athlete ever to do so. The Chicago Sky forward’s groundbreaking appearance marks a significant moment, blending the worlds of sports and high fashion.
A Dream Debut
At just 23 years old, the 6-foot-3-inch athlete joined the brand’s prestigious “Wings Reveal” lineup. Reese expressed her excitement and sense of destiny, stating, “It was destined for me. This is already for me. Iām so happy to be sitting in this room with so many amazing models and women.” She even enlisted the help of a modeling coach to perfect her walk, humorously noting her routine: “I walk, sleep, hoop. And I hoop, sleep, walk.”
Reese’s runway debut featured stunning looks, including a pink floral lingerie set adorned with blossoms and lace, complemented by a dramatic, furry stole. She also showcased a matching pink bra and panty set, paired with a cut-up pink shirt that highlighted her toned physique, and of course, Victoria’s Secret’s signature angel wings.
Celebrity Support and Inspiration
The significance of Reese’s achievement was amplified by the support she received. Celebrity stylist Law Roach, who has a deep connection with Reese, expressed immense pride. He shared that walking the Victoria’s Secret show was one of her biggest dreams, and seeing it come to fruition in less than a year, with Reese looking “stunning,” was incredibly rewarding.
Joining Reese in making history was two-time Olympic gymnast Suni Lee, who also debuted at the show as part of the VS Pink segment. Lee wore a pink hoodie with miniature wings, performing alongside the K-pop group TWICE. Their presence alongside Reese highlights a growing trend of athletes breaking into the fashion world.
