As previously reported by The Blast, Reese described being booked for the show—which also featured iconic models like Gigi and Bella Hadid, Anok Yai, Lily Aldridge, and Candice Swanepoel—as a "full-circle moment."

"I literally could not stop smiling!" she 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."

Reese also explained that her appearance in the show was not just a personal win but also a victory for other female athletes, as she hoped to demonstrate that they can be multidimensional.

Reese's Victoria's Secret debut caps off a massively successful few weeks for the star, who also celebrated winning the WNBA rebounding title and releasing her debut signature shoe, the "Angel Reese 1."

The 6'3" outspoken personality explained, according to a previous report from The Blast, that her sneaker is not only that, but rather "my style, my story, and my stamp on the game."

Reese went on to call the sneaker "something that's true to who I am," adding that it was designed to inspire others to reach great heights and "stand in their power, too."

Shortly after the sneaker's release, the product sold out on Reebok.com and in select retailers, something Reese had dreamed about before its official launch.

"We’re bringing back that old-school look, the old-school vibes. People are going to be wearing Reebok everywhere, just like how they wear Jordans everywhere. I want people to wear the Angel Reese 1s everywhere and just to be a household name, to have no limits on what I can do and what I can accomplish," she said.
