Chicago Sky star Angel Reese recently finished her second season in the WNBA.

She averaged 14.7 points, 12.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game and was named an All-Star yet again.

Reese is already a star in the WNBA, but she's built a career outside of basketball.

She has brand deals with Reese's, McDonald's, Amazon, Playstation, Outback Steakhouse and more.

But on Wednesday night, she tried something new and walked down the runway at the 2025 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Brooklyn, New York, becoming the first pro athlete to take part in the glitzy event.

It marked her official modeling debut at a live fashion show, and it sure won't be the last.

On Thursday morning, Reese took to social media to share a statement.

"i don’t work jobs. I AM THE JOB," Reese posted. This only highlights the confidence that has made her a phenom on and off the court.

Reese has always been one to dress up and showcase her outfit. Even before racking up double-doubles, she'd come to the arena in a stylish look. In fact, for Victoria's Secret show, she trained with a fashion coach, perfecting her moves.

“It was destined for me,” Reese said before the show. “This is already for me. I’m so happy to be sitting in this room with so many amazing models and women. The team that put this all together has been amazing. I’m so excited.

“I walk, sleep, hoop,” she said. “And I hoop, sleep, walk.”

Reese was drafted seventh overall by the Sky in 2024 after a national championship-winning career at LSU. She also played at Maryland early in her college career.

In addition to her All-Star nods, she is also a two-time WNBA rebounding leader and made the WNBA All-Rookie Team.
