WNBA star Angel Reese is set to become the first professional athlete to take part in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
Reese vowed last year to one day take part in the annual fashion extravaganza, and that dream is about to come true for her on Oct. 15 in New York.
The Chicago Sky forward was limited to just 30 games this past season, but averaged 14.7 points and 12.6 rebounds per game while being named an All-Star for the second time.
But as much as she’s already accomplished on the court, Reese has arguably been even more successful off it.
Among her estimated 20 different endorsement deals is a new signature shoe from Reebok, which just went on sale last month. And she was featured on the cover of the NBA 2K26 WNBA edition video game.
In addition, Reese recently became a partner with several other female athletes – including Sue Bird, Alex Morgan, Simone Manuel and Chloe Kim – in a venture to advance the women’s sports movement.
