Angel Reese has had an undeniable influence on women’s basketball.
But Chicago Sky Forwards influence is expanded from the right to the runway. Reese has been tapped by Victoria’s Secret to join the clothing and beauty dealer’s fashion show in New York City, where she becomes the first athlete to go on the runway in the event’s history.
After participating in last year’s show as a guest, Reese said she will now serve as one of the brand’s global ambassadors.

“I literally couldn’t stop smiling.” Reese told people. “It is such a surreal and full circle moment last year I was in the audience manifested to be on the runway, completely inspired and in awe of all the powerful women walking down the runway, and now I come back as an angel. This will be an unforgettable evening for which I will be grateful forever.”

Reese added that she wants to encourage women to achieve in all areas.
“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 that-and for me added the fashion and the most iconic runway of the entertainment,” added the two-time WNBA All-Star.

Since her increase in basketball star status, Reese has also built her brand away from the court.
She hosts her “Unapologetic Angel” podcast and has collaborated with Reebok and other high -profile brands. Last August, she revealed her collaboration with Reese’s, launching “Angel Reese X Reese’s Pieces Logo Collection.”

Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show returned last year after a six-year break.
The 2025 show is scheduled for October 15 and streams live on Prime video.
“I’ve been training for both the basketball and the fashion show for the past few weeks,” Reese explained. “And I’m ready to swap my angel Reese 1s to heels Wednesday night!”
