She then added, &#8220;Maybe me and Christine [Hanlen, her podcast co-host Drew&#8217;s wife] could do it together. That&#8217;d be so fun.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6s\">After talking about some of her favorite Angels for a while, Cunningham added, \u201cI will say, when you think of the Victoria\u2019s Secret Fashion Show, you think of people you have never heard of who are just, like, the most stunning creatures to ever exist on this planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sophie Cunningham&#8217;s Victoria&#8217;s Secret Fashion Show &#8216;Goal&#8217; Seems Attainable<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"78\">Cunningham&#8217;s &#8220;goal&#8221; of becoming a Victoria&#8217;s Secret Angel is not far-fetched. Not only did Angel Reese show that WNBA players could be Victoria&#8217;s Secret Angels and walk the fashion show&#8217;s runway, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/wnba\/fever\/sophie-cunningham-checks-si-swimsuit-appearance-off-her-bucket-list\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cunningham has also modeled for the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue<\/a> in the past and therefore would know what these sorts of events entail. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7d\">Cunningham has become one of the most recognizable women&#8217;s basketball players in the world, as she has done a fantastic job of capitalizing on the added attention her way since she joined the Indiana Fever two seasons ago. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7i\">And it would not be surprising to see her capitalize on this once again on landing a spot in a Victoria&#8217;s Secret show.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7n\">Then again, Reese said that she wasn&#8217;t able to walk in this year&#8217;s show because she was busy competing against the Golden State Valkyries <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/wnba\/fever\/wnba-finals-show-why-indiana-fever-can-t-afford-to-stand-pat-01m4nk17p9w6\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">in the WNBA Finals<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7s\">Granted, Cunningham is going to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason and might not be back with the Fever. But if she does re-sign with Indiana once again, fans would much rather see her playing in the 2027 WNBA Finals than walking in the 2027 Victoria&#8217;s Secret Fashion Show. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7x\">And Cunningham, who still hasn&#8217;t won a WNBA championship in her eight-season career, would surely say the same. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-14\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"82\">In the meantime, Cunningham and the rest of the women&#8217;s basketball world will be tuning in to see Reese&#8217;s Dream squad facing the Valkyries in the WNBA Finals. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\" class=\"shrink-0\"\/>Add us as a preferred source on Google<a aria-label=\"Follow si.com on Google News\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=si.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" preventdefault:click=\"\" class=\"flex h-[30px] w-[30px] shrink-0 items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-primary font-group-large text-sm font-medium text-white transition-colors hover:bg-secondary focus:bg-secondary md:w-auto md:gap-2.5 md:px-4 md:py-[5px]\" on:click=\"q-yMiJ8o4X.js#s_lDqay9E5m5g[0]\" q:id=\"88\">Follow<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 2026 Victoria&#8217;s Secret Fashion Show took place last Sunday in Los Angeles, California.
