Social Media Reacts To Angel Reese Walking In Victoria’s Secret Show

Angel Reese She’s just accomplished a major feat, becoming the first professional athlete to be named a Victoria’s Secret Angel and walk in the brand’s star-studded fashion show. The Chicago Sky star lit up the stage on October 15, showing off two stunning all-pink looks and proving that she is, in fact, more than just a basketball player.

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was broadcast live on Amazon Prime and across the company’s social media accounts on Wednesday evening.

Reese was one of the first models to show up, confidently walking down the catwalk to Madison Beer while wearing a matching white bra, garter, and panties decorated with huge pink roses. For her second look, Reese, 23, wore a massive set of silver and white angel wings as well as a dazzling pink top with a slit around her chest, revealing a pink lace bra.

Immediately after the LSU graduate appeared on stage, social media lit up with praise and positive comments about the basketball player’s appearance and gait.

“Proud of her and her management,” one person wrote on @TheShadeRoom’s Instagram post. “This is critical because they’re trying to bring her down on the internet and she’s so confident! This is dark history.”

Another user added: “Great walk too.” “Not awkward or harsh.”

A third user congratulated Reese for achieving the dreams she set for herself, writing: “I love how she does everything and makes money! Yes! She’s beautiful, but she’s a fraud in every way!”

“You killed it! I love how she doesn’t box herself! She eats in so many different ways, and I’m here for it!” another wrote.

As The Blast previously reported, Reese described her booking for the show — which also included top models like Gigi and Bella Hadid, Anouk Yai, Lily Aldridge, and Candice Swanepoel — as a “full circle moment.”

“I literally couldn’t stop smiling!” She said. “It’s a surreal, full-circle moment – ​​just last year I was in the audience making my presence known on this runway, completely inspired and in awe of all the strong women walking the runway, and now I can come back as an angel. This will be an unforgettable night that I will be forever grateful for.”

Reese also explained that her appearance on the show was not just a personal victory, but also a victory for other female athletes, as she hoped to prove that they can be multi-dimensional.

“I hope I can inspire women and girls everywhere and remind them that we can dominate in our industry but also pursue our goals outside of it — and for me, that is walking the most iconic runway in the world of fashion and entertainment,” she said.

Several hours before the show, Victoria’s Secret brand PINK revealed that Reese would be joined on the runway by another leading athlete, Olympic gold medalist Sonny Lee.

“It’s official: Sunisa Lee is trading gold for PINK and walking the runway at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show tonight,” a social media post read. “Get ready to watch her create her story (again).”
