The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is a reliable hotbed of A-list talent, from the fashion world and beyond—and this year’s event was no exception. Among the likes of models Alex Consani, Paloma Elsesser, Adriana Lima, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and new mom Barbara Palvin on the runway Sunday was one familiar face from a very different field: soccer star Trinity Rodman.
During the Pink section of the long-running fashion show—soundtracked by a rousing Katseye medley—Rodman, a forward for the Washington Spirit, strutted down the catwalk in a cropped black tank and boyshorts, accessorized with a silvery Pink pup and slingbacks. Her surprise appearance (coming just a day after her squad bested Gotham FC at home, 1-0) follows thrilling runway turns from fellow athletes Angel Reese and Suni Lee on last year’s runway.
