Tyra Banks walked the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway for the first time in almost 20 years after retiring from modeling in 2005. See her angelic comeback.
Tyra Banks is back on top at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
The America’s Next Top Model creator made a triumphant comeback at the famed lingerie presentation Oct. 15, closing out the show in a black bustier with crystal embellishments, a silver cape with black lining, dark leggings and strappy heels.
In true Tyra fashion, she brought her signature smize as she sashayed down the runway—her first catwalk since retiring from modeling in 2005.
The 50-year-old is considered one of the OG Victoria’s Secret Angels, having walked in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show during its early days in the ’90s. Overall, Tyra appeared in nine shows—wearing the iconic Fantasy Bra in two of them—during her eight-year modeling contract with the underwear brand.
“When I decided to retire, Victoria’s Secret had come to me and had another contract on the table,” she recently told Harper’s Bazaar. “And I decided that ‘No, I need to be a talk show host and I need to be trusted for my words. I don’t think I can be taken seriously if I am still a model,’ and maybe that was true at that time.”
