Angel Reese<\/a> has made an unquestionable impact on women’s basketball.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But the Chicago Sky<\/a> forward’s influence is expanding from the court to the runway. Reese has been tapped by Victoria’s Secret to walk in the clothing and beauty retailer\u2019s fashion show in New York City, where she will become the first athlete to walk the runway in the event\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

After attending last year’s show as a guest, Reese said she will now serve as one of the brand’s global ambassadors.<\/p>\n

“I literally could not stop smiling.” Reese told People.<\/a> “It\u2019s such a surreal and full-circle moment \u2014 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\u2019ll forever be grateful for.”<\/p>\n

Reese added that she wants to encourage women to achieve in all areas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I hope I can inspire women and girls everywhere and remind them that we can dominate in our field but also chase our goals outside of it \u2014 and for me, that\u2019s getting to walk down fashion and entertainment\u2019s most iconic runway,” the two-time WNBA All-Star added.<\/p>\n

Since her rise to basketball stardom<\/a>, Reese has also built her brand away from the court.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She hosts her “Unapologetically Angel” podcast and has partnered with Reebok and other high-profile brands. Last August, she unveiled her collaboration<\/a> with Reese’s, which launched the “Angel Reese x Reese’s Pieces Logo Collection.”<\/p>\n
