From breaking records on the court to breaking down barriers on the runway, Angel Reese will become the first professional athlete to walk the Victoria Secret Runway.
On October 15th, Reese is set to add wings to her collection of awards and honors.
Angel is not new to being recognized for being a breakthrough athlete in the sports world. She has already been named the BET Sportswoman of the Year in consecutive years from 2023-2025, Best Breakthrough Athlete ESPY Award in 2023 and SEC National Player of the Year in 2024.
Along with leading LSU’s Women’s Basketball team to its very first National Championship in 2023, she was the #7 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft to the Chicago Sky.
Reese spoke to PEOPLE magazine and stated, “I’ve been training for both basketball and the fashion show these last couple of weeks, and I’m ready to swap my Angel Reese 1s for heels on Wednesday night!”
She never fails to show her angelic catwalk with showstopping pregame outfits in the WNBA tunnel. Angel mentioned that she is excited to walk amongst some of her friends who are returning to the fashion show.
“It’s such an honor to be a part of such an immensely powerful moment that celebrates women, and how multifaceted we are. I know the energy and excitement will be unmatched – I’m ready for it!” Reese explains.
Angel embodies confidence, beauty, strength and continues to break stereotypes. She inspires fans not only as an iconic athlete but as a model. With many young fans telling their stories on how she has inspired them to be just like her.
Before a game in July 2024, a younger girl asked Reese, “What motivates you?” Reese responded with, “Girls like you. Little girls that look up to me.”
Ahead of her runway show Angel stated, “I hope I can inspire women and girls everywhere and remind them that we can dominate in our field but also chase our goals outside of it — and for me, that’s getting to walk down fashion and entertainment’s most iconic runway.”
This is the start for Reese to be able to bring her competitive edge to the style icon world. Let’s see how much more Angel can score both on and off the court in the near future.
You can watch Angel make her runway debut Wednesday, October 15 2025 at 6:00 PM CST. The event will be livestreamed on Victoria Secret’s Instagram, Youtube, and Tiktok as well as Prime Video.
