WNBA star Angel Reese has set pulses racing after starring in her debut Victoria’s Secret campaign.
Just days after finalizing her bombshell trade from the Chicago Sky to the Atlanta Dream, Reese proved she can do it all after modelling for the lingerie brand.
Swapping her jersey and shorts for a strapless, maroon top and matching bottoms as she struck a pose for Victoria Secret’s ‘Season of Strapless’ campaign.
‘The theme is bronze, and I’m all for the bronze and the sun, and being here in Barbados, the vibe is literally perfect.’ Reese revealed to Elle Magazine.
To celebrate the launch of the campaign, Reese turned heads in New York City as she stepped out for the brand’s event in Midtown Manhattan on Tuesday afternoon.
Reese emerged out of a black car outside Victoria’s Secret flagship store at 640 Fifth Avenue, smiling for photographers before entering the venue for the launch event.

It marked the first time that Reese had been seen in public since she was traded by the Chicago Sky; a move which sent shockwaves across the league.
Reese’s first public appearance comes amid whispers that her old teammates with the Chicago Sky are delighted to see the back of her, as she instead heads to the Atlanta Dream in exchange for first-round picks in 2027 and 2028.
The Daily Mail has spoken to a source close to the team, who revealed: ‘Those in the organization of the Chicago Sky are so relieved that Angel is no longer on the team.
‘There has been so much apprehension between the team and her, and everyone is happy that they don’t have to deal with her various controversies, whether she brings it on herself or otherwise.
‘There is no love lost and when Angel returns for a game with her new team, she will be the enemy, but everyone with the Sky is very happy that she is gone.
‘They were getting sick of her and to make this trade was very much needed for the health of the organization moving forward.’
Reese had previously sparked outrage when she publicly criticized the Sky and threatened to quit the team last year, and will now play her third season in the WNBA with a new franchise.
‘I’m beyond grateful for the opportunity to join the Atlanta Dream organization,’ she later added in a press release from the Dream.

‘I’m focused on continuing to grow my game, competing at the highest level, connecting with the fans, and giving everything I’ve got to the Dream.’
Reese was drafted by the Sky with the seventh overall pick in the 2024 Draft – the same class as former No. 1 pick and her longtime rival, Caitlin Clark – after leading LSU to the 2023 National Championship.
The two-time All-Star recorded 49 career double-doubles while averaging 14.0 points and 12.8 rebounds per game throughout her first two seasons in the league with the Sky.
She also earned All-Rookie Team honors in 2024 after setting WNBA rookie records for rebounds per game (13.1) and consecutive double-doubles (15).
