Angel Reese Makes Her Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Debut
Whether she's in the yard or on the catwalk, Angel Reese is always the star of the show.
The Chicago Sky star made her way to the runway for the very first time on Wednesday, October 15, wearing two all-pink ensembles while getting her Victoria's Secret Angel wings.
For her first look, Reese walked like a pro in a coordinating white bra, garter, and panty set, completely adorned with pink flowers. She also had a pink scarf draped over her arms, which was covered in even more flowers to complete the look.
For her second ensemble, the WNBA star rocked a simpler set, making her bombshell silver-and-white wings the star of the show.
She was wearing a pink t-shirt with a cheeky cutout around the chest and a slit above the waist. The slits revealed a matching pink bra and underwear, completing the look with strappy silver sandals and an undeniable mug.
A week before stepping onto the iconic stage, Reese opened up about her feelings leading up to the big moment, telling PEOPLE: “I'm ready to trade my Angel Reese 1's for heels on Wednesday night!”
She also recalled her reaction when she first got the news that she was going to be a Victoria's Secret Angel, admitting, “I literally couldn't stop smiling!”
“It's such a surreal moment in the ring — just last year I was in the audience manifesting on that runway, completely inspired and in awe of all the powerful women walking the runway, and now I'm coming back as an angel,” she continued. “This will be an unforgettable night that I will be forever grateful for.”
Reese went on to say she was “so proud and excited” to become the first professional athlete to compete on the show, and her mother, Angel Reese Sr., sang her praises on social media. “You all see why she's the subject of their weekly chats,” the proud mum said before adding that she broke down in tears as Angel walked down the runway.
Another star making her debut at tonight's show was Missy Elliott, who took to the runway to perform a medley of her songs, including the smash hit, “Work It.” She rocked an all-black, sparkly look for the occasion, contrasting all the pink and white on the catwalk.
Law Roach and Jodie Turner-Smith were also in attendance, sitting in the front row to watch Missy's performance. The actress looked absolutely stunning in an ethereal white ensemble and clean girl glam, all tied up in a bow with a slick-back ponytail.
The first model to take the runway was pregnant Jasmine Tookes, who looked absolutely ethereal in a sheer dress and Victoria's Secret wings made to look like a seashell.
The star, who is pregnant with her second child, a boy, with her husband, Juan David Borrero, showed off all her curves as she strutted down the runway, giving her growing baby bump to the star of the show.
Former WNBA player Kysre Gondrezick has embraced other opportunities since her departure from the Chicago Sky, walking the red carpet wearing vintage Mugler. The baller was there to show her support for fellow athletes Suni Lee and, of course, her former teammate Angel Reese.
Another beauty who walked the iconic stage was model Anok Yai, who compared her preparation for the show to how an athlete trains.
“I got my ass seven days a week from my trainer,” she said in an Oct. 14 interview. Instagram post. “I'm getting my back muscles ready for the wings. I'm going through my walk, and my ass is getting nice and round.”
Precious Lee also made her Victoria's Secret Fashion Show debut, wearing a lacy pink set with black accents, complete with a fluffy, showgirl-esque headpiece.
