WNBA Fans React to Sky Star Angel Reese’s Viral Appearance On Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

Angel Reese has been known to command the basketball court, but on Wednesday night, Oct. 15, the Chicago Sky star traded her jersey for wings, and fans went into a frenzy.

The two-time WNBA All-Star made a dazzling appearance at the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Brooklyn, becoming one of the first professional athletes to walk the runway for the lingerie brand’s big comeback. Fans couldn’t stop talking about it, and for good reason.

Fans Stunned as Angel Reese Steals the Show at Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

The 6’3″ WNBA forward lit up the runway in not one but two striking looks. One featured a floral three-piece lingerie set paired with a fluffy pink boa. The second was pure power-meets-glam — an edgy pink cutout tee revealing a matching lacy bra and underwear set, completed with dramatic white lace wings that drew gasps from the audience.

It was a bold debut for Reese, who just last week teased her appearance on social media. “Stepping into a dream: From Angel to a Victoria’s Secret ANGEL. I’m finally getting my wings,” she wrote in her Instagram post. “It feels like destiny. Wings on, heels ready…Catch me on the runway 💗.”

The show itself was packed with star power — veteran Angels like Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, Lily Aldridge, and Alessandra Ambrosio returned to the runway. But despite the supermodels around her, Reese stood tall and completely owned her moment.

Fans were quick to react, flooding social media with praise. One user posted, “She ate and left no crumbs,” echoing the sentiment of many others who felt she absolutely dominated her first major runway.

While Reese shocked everyone with her stunning looks, this isn’t her first foray into fashion. Back in January 2025, she became the first professional basketball player — male or female — to appear solo on the cover of American Vogue.

The striking photoshoot, captured by Norman Jean Roy, featured her in a ruched red Versace gown, blending her athletic strength with elegant poise.

At the time, she said that her love for fashion started early. “I was always in my mom’s closet, putting on her clothes. Hair done. I wanted to look put together. I still do,” she said.

That passion for style is now paying off. By partnering with Victoria’s Secret, Reese — more than walking the runway — is also redefining what it means to be an athlete in today’s culture.
