The famed lingerie show began in 2001 and took place annually until 2019. Victoria's Secret canceled the show from 2019 to 2023 amid declining ratings and myriad controversies.

Angel Reese is a Black WNBA player that has become more and more popular over the last few years. It makes sense to add someone who is famous, doesn't have a similar background to many other models, and is a positive figure to the general public to walk the runway.
