How WNBA's Angel Reese “Manifested” Becoming a Victoria’s Secret Angel

Angel Reese, a 23-year-old WNBA player, bridges sports and fashion as the first pro athlete in the Victoria's Secret Wings Reveal lineup, inspiring women worldwide.

  • On Oct. 15, Angel Reese, Chicago Sky forward, will become the first professional athlete to get her `wings` modeling Victoria's Secret stylings in New York; the show begins at 7 p.m. Eastern and streams on YouTube.
  • Her rising profile and online influence mean Angel Reese’s style and social media helped bridge sports, fashion and pop culture, opening her Victoria's Secret opportunity.
  • A former LSU national champion, Reese is pictured in a pink-and-white robe with curlers as she prepares for her first runway walk and says she has "seen the biggest stages before."
  • Reese says she aims to inspire other women and those who look like her, calling the walk `a full circle moment` that `means everything to me`.
  • Following its 2019 cancellation and last year's return, Victoria's Secret resumed its show after a multi-year hiatus, building on the nearly two decades since the 2001 inaugural show.
