It has been on the talks during the buildup and now we see it all take shape. Angel Reese has just spread her wings, literally. And it wasn’t in Chicago’s skies, it was in Victoria’s Secret. The often-talked-about Chicago and LSU forward has taken it from the court to the runway.
Her mother, Mrs. Reese, couldn’t hold back her emotions, tweeting,
“Yup brought me to tears seeing my Angel #proudmom.” That message quickly went viral, with thousands of fans echoing the same sentiment.

This marks another front that the multi-faceted Angel Reese brand has tapped. It’s already been established that Angel Reese aims to branch out beyond basketball as she believes in the potential her name brings outside of the WNBA.
Videos of her walk spread fast online, showing her confidence and energy radiating on stage. Angel Reese has always been open about her passion for modeling, even telling interviewers she used to visualize herself on big runways long before turning pro in basketball.
For her mom, it was a proud full-circle moment. For Angel Reese, it was the realization of a dream she once manifested. And for fans, it was another reminder that her nickname, “Bayou Barbie,” isn’t just a brand — it’s a symbol of grace, power, and self-belief shining under the brightest lights.
Angel Reese Reflects On Her Victoria’s Secret Debut
After her stunning appearance on the Victoria’s Secret runway, Angel Reese shared her thoughts on what the moment meant to her — and it was pure joy.
“I literally could not stop smiling!” Reese said. “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.”
Her words captured exactly what fans have admired about her since college — confidence, vision, and gratitude. Angel Reese has spoken before about her belief in manifestation and hard work, and this milestone only adds proof that she lives by both.
Players have now evolved from just sport performers to influencers. They now have to push their names as a brand rather than just a talent. And while this opens up the opportunity to earn more mileage and income, it also diverts attention from what’s really important. Angel Reese is now another name in a large jar of players that has opened their doors to other branches.
Her glow on the runway, her mother’s proud words, and her heartfelt reflection afterward all tell the same story — that Angel Reese is living her dream, and she’s only getting started.
