    Barbie Ferreira never expected to walk in the Victoria's Secret fashion show

    The Euphoria actress admitted it was "huge" for her to be involved in Wednesday's (15.10.25) fashion extravaganza in New York and she was stunned when she got the call asking her to take part


    Speaking ahead of the show - in which she walked twice - Barbie told People magazine backstage: "It's game day. We got to win the game. Lots of people are waiting for us to win the game, and we're going to win.

    "To be honest, I was so psyched, because that was just not in my head at all to walk a runway, period, especially the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, which is the biggest show.

    "I just remember being like, 'What?' I literally... It took me a minute to process what that meant, because I just was not expecting that at all. And then I got so excited. I called my mom, who's Brazilian, and could not be more excited."

    Barbie later took to Instagram to reflect on the "crazy" day.

    She shared photos and video footage of her on the catwalk and wrote: "what a crazy side quest. got to be an angel for the day thank u @adamselman @vspink @victoriassecret (sic)"

    Olympian Suni Lee also made her runway debut at the event and was equally shocked when she was offered the job.

    She said: "When I got the call, I thought it couldn't be real.

    "They want me? But then I found out it was real, and it's so amazing. I'm excited."

    WNBA star Angel Reese got her wings as she made her debut in the Victoria's Secret show, showcasing two different looks.

    The basketball player previously spoke of how "proud and excited" she was to be the first-ever professional athlete model to walk in the show.

    She said: "I hope I can inspire women and girls everywhere and remind them that we can dominate in our field but also chase our goals outside of it - and for me, that's getting to walk down fashion and entertainment's most iconic runway."

    And, like Barbie and Suni, Angel was stunned to get the invitation to take part.

    She said: "I literally could not stop smiling!

    "It's such a surreal and full-circle moment - just last year I was in the audience manifesting being on that runway, completely inspired and in awe of all the powerful women walking down the runway, and now I get to return as an Angel. This will be an unforgettable night that I'll forever be grateful for."
