Angel Reese has officially received her Victoria Secret wings at the 2025 Victoria’s Secret fashion show runway.
The 6’3” WNBA star made waves on Wednesday night by becoming the first professional athlete to grace the runway at the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, and she did so in remarkable fashion.
Reese wowed the audience with two enchanting, pink-themed outfits that transformed the runway into her personal stage. Her first ensemble featured a delicate, lacy lingerie set adorned with pink blossoms, complemented by a voluminous tulle shawl that trailed behind her like a soft cloud. For her second appearance, she opted for another pink ensemble, this time layered under a cropped baby tee with a striking cutout that radiated confidence and playfulness. To top it all off, she wore silver stilettos that added even more height to her already statuesque figure.
As the cameras captured her every move and the music built in excitement, Reese walked down the runway with elegance, poise, and just the right hint of attitude. At the end of her walk, she struck a few supermodel poses that had the audience cheering in admiration.
While many fans revelled in her historic achievement, others expressed mixed feelings. Some were thrilled to see her shine: “Little to no experience and still ate btw,” tweeted one user. “I’m so happy for her. I was in tears the entire time,” another supporter shared.
However, some critics couldn’t help but recall her previous remarks about not wanting to be sexualized. “I thought she didn’t want to be sexualized,” one wrote, while another commented, “Could be in the gym learning how to make layups, but sure,” igniting backlash from her defenders.
Despite the criticism, Reese remained unfazed. Before the show, she shared her excitement during an Amazon Live appearance, stating, “I am so happy to be a Victoria’s Secret angel. It is a dream come true. Am I nervous? No. Am I ready? Yes, because I know I worked for this moment.”
No matter the chatter online, Angel Reese earned her wings, made history, and looked absolutely fabulous doing it.
