Reese made history as the first professional athlete to appear at the iconic annual event.

She featured prominently as the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show returned for another year.

The show was revived last year after a five-year hiatus.

Reese featured alongside several A-list stars including the show-stealing singer Madison Beer, 26.

Now, Cunningham has put her name forward to follow in Reese’s footsteps.

The Indiana Fever star explained on the latest episode of her Show Me Something podcast that it is a life goal.

“Oh my god, I texted my agents right away and I was like please. This has been a dream of mine since second grade.

“I’ve always wanted to be a Victoria’s Secret Angel. I think it would be so fun to walk in that fashion show.”

Cunningham featured prominently early this season as the Fever reached the 2025 WNBA Semifinals.

But her season was cut short by an injury against the Connecticut Sun in August.

She wowed fans dancing in a bikini while showing off her hefty knee brace following her injury.

The Fever suffered a 3-2 Semifinals loss to the Las Vegas Aces in the playoffs.

This set the Aces up to go undefeated against the Phoenix Mercury in the Finals series.

Despite her injury, Cunningham remained active on the sidelines.

She received several fines from the WNBA for criticizing officials and the treatment of players.

Fever icon Cunningham has also previously called out Reese after the Sky star was handed a half-game suspension.

But the hatchet appears to have been truly buried as Cunningham has praised her Victoria’s Secret appearance.

Although Cunningham thinks one adjustment will need to be made if she does get a catwalk call-up.

“But Angel really did kill it. She looked stunning, she looked beautiful.”

“I don’t really have the boobs. They’re gonna need a big push-up bra for me.”
