WNBA star Angel Reese is officially getting a pair of wings.
The Chicago Sky player announced on Instagram that she will be walking in the upcoming Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Wednesday. Her addition to the iconic fashion show marks the first time a professional athlete will walk its runway.
“Stepping into a dream: From Angel to a Victoria Secret ANGEL,” Reese, 23, wrote on Instagram. “I’m finally getting my wings I’ll be walking the Victoria’s Secret 2025 runway show for the first time, and it feels like destiny. ✨ Wings on, heels ready…Catch me on the runway💗 @victoriassecret”
Victoria’s Secret did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
The lingerie retailer posted a video on Instagram for the announcement, showing Reese wearing a baby pink robe, black lingerie and out-of-this-world white, feather wings.
“Angel Reese, welcome to the runway. The first professional athlete angel…major is an understatement,” the post reads.
On Wednesday, Victoria’s Secret announced that its fashion show will have an all-female musical lineup, starring Missy Elliott, Madison Beer, KAROL G and TWICE.
The famed lingerie show began in 2001 and took place annually until 2019. Victoria’s Secret canceled the show from 2019 to 2023 amid declining ratings and myriad controversies.
The show then picked up again last year and featured some of the most prominent models in the industry, including Tyra Banks, Kate Moss, the Hadid sisters and Adriana Lima. Last year’s show’s live performers included Cher, Tyla and Lisa.
