Suni Lee is gaining her Victoria's Secret angel wings. 

The two-time Olympic gold medalist will be modeling in the upcoming Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. The gymnast shared the news in a joint Instagram post on Wednesday, Oct. 15.

"It’s official: Sunisa Lee is trading gold for PINK and walking the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway tonight," the caption read featuring a photo of Lee holding a plush pink Victoria's Secret dog. "Get ready to watch her make her-story (again)."

Fans couldn't contain their excitement after the announcement.

"The first Hmong woman to walk the VS show ever," a fan wrote, with another fan replying, "first us gymnast/olympic us gymnast also."

"I'll be watching just for you," another fan reacted.

"Yessss go Suni!!!! The little Hmong girl in me is screaming!!!" a fan wrote.

Lee shared the post on her Instagram Story, writing, "a dream come true."

Lee is the first Hmong woman and the first U.S. gymnast (and Olympic gymnast) to grace the Victoria's Secret runway. The news follows the first professional athlete, WNBA player Angel Reese, to also make history during the 2025 show.
