Angel Reese earned her wings.

The WNBA star swapped her tunnel walk for the runway and made history as one of the first pro athletes to walk the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

She and gymnast Suni Lee were the athletes on the catwalk. Before they hit the stage, both posed in a robe on the pink carpet.

The night was a huge celebration of women, glitz, and glam. Aside from Reese and Lee, the other angels included models Alex Consani, Adut Akech, Amelia Gray, Bella Hadid, Madison Beer, and Paloma Elsesser.

Justin Herbert’s girlfriend, Madison Beer, certainly turns heads in an all-black suit for the Victoria’s Secret pink carpet before the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

However, the night truly belonged to Angel Reese as she graced the stage twice for the night.

Not everything was shown to the viewing audience.

WNBA player Angel Reese became the first professional athlete to walk the runway at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Wednesday, but she may have had more fun backstage.

The 23-year-old Chicago Sky forward joined supermodels like Bella and Gigi Hadid backstage. Exclusive footage showed the women in spicy lingerie dancing to some music and posing for pictures.

Teasing the casting on Instagram last week, the two-time WNBA all-star wrote, “Stepping into a dream … I’m finally getting my wings.”

That dream turned into a reality. Reese walked down the lengthy catwalk wearing a lacy lingerie set adorned with several pink blossoms. The athlete swapped her signature sneakers for heels and strutted down the runway with her lacy white wings. She really lived up to her name.

The brand made its catwalk return last year after taking a six-year hiatus, and with this success, it appears they will not be going anywhere again anytime soon.
