Chicago Sky player Angel Reese announced on Instagram that she will be walking the upcoming Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. “Stepping into a dream: From Angel to a Victoria Secret ANGEL. I’m finally getting my wings,” the 23-year-old WNBA star posted on Instagram Thursday, sharing photos of herself in the iconic Victoria’s Secret pink robe and wings. Shortly after, the official Instagram page for the lingerie brand welcomed Reese to the runway, writing: “The first professional athlete, Angel… major is an understatement." On Wednesday, KAROL G, Madison Beer, Missy Elliott, and TWICE were announced as the musical guests for the fashion show, which will air live across multiple platforms. After a brief break from 2019 to 2023 due to controversies, the famous fashion show returned last year with a new focus and shifted values. “What is a modern Angel?” the new Victoria’s Secret CEO, Hillary Super, asked last month in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, adding, “Does it have to be a supermodel? We are having those debates.” Having attended the fashion show last year, Reese will walk the runway in her debut on October 15. “This will be an unforgettable night that I’ll forever be grateful for,” Reese told PEOPLE after the announcement.
