From Court to Catwalk: WNBA Star Angel Reese's Victoria’s Secret Debut Inspires Rivals

Sophie Cunningham admits she has pleaded with her agents to get her a Victoria's Secret gig

WANT TO BE A VICTORIA'S SECRET ANGEL? WELCOME TO THE RANKS OF DREAMERS, SOFIE CUNNINGHAM!

In a shocking turn of events, WNBA star Sophie Cunningham has set her sights on becoming the latest addition to Victoria's Secret's esteemed roster – and she's not alone in her admiration for the iconic lingerie brand. But is she Victoria's Secret material?

Cunningham recently confessed that watching fellow WNBA star Angel Reese strut down the catwalk at the annual Victoria's Secret show in New York last week sent her into a frenzy. And we can understand why! The two basketball superstars have been friends, and Cunningham has always harbored a secret dream of becoming a Victoria's Secret Angel.

Angel Reese was one of several models who featured in the lingerie brand's annual event

"I texted my agents right away and I was like pleeeeease... this has been a dream of mine since second grade," Cunningham revealed on her 'Show Me Something' podcast. "I've always wanted to be a Victoria's Secret Angel – can you imagine anything more fabulous?"

But, as we all know, becoming a Victoria's Secret model isn't just about looks; it takes hard work, dedication, and a healthy dose of confidence. And Cunningham isn't fooling herself about her chances – or lack thereof.

"I don't really have the boobs," she candidly admitted. "They're gonna need a big push-up bra for me." Ouch!

Now Cunningham is desperate to follow in her fellow WNBA star's footsteps on the catwalk

Meanwhile, Angel Reese is living her best life as a Victoria's Secret model. The 24-year-old phenom took to the catwalk TWICE during the show in Brooklyn, sending fans into a frenzy with her stunning appearance.

"This was destined for me," Reese declared confidently before the show began. "I'm so happy to be sitting in this room with so many amazing models and women." And it's clear that she's been working hard on perfecting her strut – hiring a modeling coach to help her "walk, sleep, hoop" (in no particular order!).

But will Cunningham follow in Reese's footsteps? Only time (and some serious bra shopping) will tell. After all, being a Victoria's Secret Angel requires more than just a pretty face and a killer body; it takes a true sense of confidence and self-love.

Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story – and maybe Sophie Cunningham can even take a cue from Angel Reese and start working on that push-up bra...
