Get you a girl who can do both! If you thought Angel Reese was only dominating the hardwood, think again! The Chicago Sky forward just made a major announcement that’s got the girls and the glam world buzzing — and let’s just say, she’s officially trading rebounds for Victoria’s Secret runways and Juicy Couture collabs. But, don’t get it twisted, she’s not leaving the court behind.

From Hoops To Heels — Angel Reese Does Both
On Wednesday, Angel Reese revealed that she’ll be walking in the upcoming Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show — making history as the first professional athlete to ever grace that iconic runway. “Wings on, heels ready…Catch me on the runway,” she captioned the Instagram post, showing off a behind-the-scenes look in a baby pink robe, black lingerie, and her very own set of feathery wings. And, in a statement to People, Reese shared:
“I literally could not stop smiling! It’s such a surreal and full-circle moment — just last year I was in the audience manifesting being on that runway, completely inspired and in awe of all the powerful women walking down the runway, and now I get to return as an Angel. This will be an unforgettable night that I’ll forever be grateful for.”

VS Show Comeback Hits Different With Angel
Victoria’s Secret wasted no time hyping the moment, too, writing, “Angel Reese, welcome to the runway. The first professional athlete angel…major is an understatement.” And major it is. The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show returned in 2024 after a 5-year hiatus — and let’s be real, it wasn’t just a break, it may have been a damage control moment. The brand had been catching heat for bad publicity, bad reviews, and eventually, bad numbers. But now? They’re seemingly trying to flip the script. With an all-female musical lineup featuring icons like Missy Elliott, KAROL G, Madison Beer, and TWICE, the 2025 show is already shaping up to be one for the books — and Angel Reese being part of it? A power move.
Angel’s Got The Juice, And Juicy Couture Knows It
Adding to her business glow-up, Angel Reese just got tapped by Juicy Couture as their global ambassador and creative collaborator — because of course, they want a piece of that unstoppable energy. She’s now the face of the Viva La Juicy fragrance and co-designing a new apparel line called “Angel Couture,” putting her own twist on the brand’s signature velour and loud graphics. Reese kept it real, saying, “Juicy Couture has always been about confidence and having fun with fashion,” and with this collab, she’s bringing that same bold vibe — fearless, fun, and unapologetically her.
Not Everyone Clapped — But Angel Reese Is Still Winning
As soon as the news dropped, folks ran to Angel Reese’s and The Shade Room’s comment section like it was game time. While many were hyping Angel up — rightfully so, because let’s be honest, she’s THAT girl — a few couldn’t help but sip on some haterade and toss in their unsolicited two cents. Still, the love outweighed the shade, with congratulatory comments pouring in from fans, celebs, and fellow athletes alike.
