Angel Reese is making history as the first professional athlete to walk the runway at the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. The event will take place on October 15 in New York City and will stream on Prime Video.
Reese’s rise as both an athlete and media personality has made her one of the most marketable young stars in sports. She has already partnered with major brands and appeared in campaigns that blend athleticism with glamour.
With Reese’s strong social media presence, her off-court moves garner positive reactions. This recent news, however, prompted a mixed response from fans. While some used the opportunity to crack jokes, others trashed Reese for not focusing enough on her game.
“LeBron is next,” a fan jokes.

“At what point does she just admit that basketball is no longer her passion? Nothing wrong with it! But the honesty would be appreciated,” a fan wrote.
“She doing ANYTHING but making layups,” a fan wrote.
“She dropped double-doubles on court and now she’s dropping jaws on the runway. 😤💄A queen with doings 👑👑👑,” a fan wrote.
“Angel Reese really out here getting buckets and wings,” a fan wrote.
“Didn’t know there was fashion demand for ‘Me-bounds’,” a fan wrote.
Her appearance on one of fashion’s biggest stages is another step in expanding her influence beyond the court. It also represents a growing shift where athletes, especially women, are increasingly recognized for their impact on culture and lifestyle, not just performance.
The move also strengthens the link between the WNBA and mainstream pop culture. By joining a lineup of global fashion icons, Reese continues to redefine what it means to be a modern athlete.
Angel Reese Had a “Surreal” Moment
Known for her confident personality and sense of style, Reese has long expressed her love for fashion and modeling. She attended last year’s Victoria’s Secret show as a guest and is now returning as a featured runway model.
During her conversation with PEOPLE, Reese said she couldn’t stop smiling when she heard the news.
“It’s such a surreal and full-circle moment,” she said. “This will be an unforgettable night that I’ll forever be grateful for.”
This is more than just a brand collaboration for Reese. She hopes to inspire women around the globe through her story, as it shows that women can not only dominate on the court but they can also transcend the boundaries of their sport and become popular culture icons.
