Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham has her sights set on the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, but she believes she’ll need “a big push-up bra.”
During Tuesday’s installment of the “Show Me Something” podcast, Cunningham explained that she texted her agents to help her land a spot on the VS roster after Chicago Sky star Angel Reese hit the runway for the lingerie giant last week.
“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,’” Cunningham said, adding iconic model Candice Swanepoel is her favorite Angel.
“But I don’t really have the boobs. They’re going to really need a big push-up bra for me.”
Cunningham said the lingerie brand’s fashion show is “my Super Bowl” — and that she meets the height requirements for the runway, standing at 6-foot-1.
Reese, a two-time WNBA All-Star, was announced as Victoria’s Secret’s first professional athlete Angel a few days before the show.
Olympic gold medalist Suni Lee also walked in the show.
“She killed it, absolutely killed it,” Cunningham said of Reese, adding she looked “stunning and beautiful.”
Cunningham has made it clear that fashion is one of her interests off the court.
The veteran guard, 29, has made waves online with her tunnel walks on several occasions — including her cut-out dress that showed tan lines around her waist during the 2024 WNBA regular season.
“The [outfits] that have went really viral, my mom [Paula] has actually picked them out,” Cunningham told The Post. “… It’s been really fun because now [my family] is on all the outfits. And trust me, my family is like, ‘Oh, gosh,’ what’s Sophie gonna wear today? It’s just like a running joke.”
Cunningham is indifferent to the negative banter online, especially comments about her revealing too much.
“Hey, I’m not going to look like this often, or very long, so I might as well just use it while I can!” she said, laughing.
“[The women of the league] are starting to kind of pop off a little bit about what we’re wearing and people are turning heads and it’s drawn a lot of attention.”
