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.

In a 2024 Vogue interview, Rodman described her personal style as “very loud, colorful, creative,” adding: “I’m all over the board. I feel like I’ll wear whatever and somebody [inevitably] says, ‘Oh, that’s such a Trin outfit.’ I’m like, ‘I don’t know what that means!’ But I do think there’s a vibe to it. Whatever I find that looks cool, and whatever stands out, I am going to grab it.”
