Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese made her runway debut at the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Brooklyn on October 15, modeling two pink-themed looks, including a white-and-rose lingerie set and a second outfit capped by white-and-silver wings. Vogue noted she “earned her wings” after studying iconics’ walks, bringing the poise of a pro athlete to the catwalk; the show marked a lifelong goal for Reese, who prepared with a retired runway coach to refine her stage presence.
The event signaled the brand’s continued post-hiatus revival and broader casting: Harper’s Bazaar highlighted fellow athlete Suni Lee’s debut, legacy angels’ returns, and performances by Missy Elliott and others during the Brooklyn show. Andscape reported Reese became the first professional athlete to walk the Victoria’s Secret runway, underscoring a crossover moment between sports and fashion and expanding the show’s definition of who belongs on its stage.
