Nearly 20 years after retiring from the runway, Tyra Banks made her sensational return to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, capturing hearts and proving that age is just a number. The iconic model, now 50, strutted the runway at the star-studded event in New York City, which marked her 10th appearance with the brand.
Banks, who retired from modeling in 2005, showcased her signature confidence, gliding down the runway in a dazzling silver cape, a crystal-encrusted bustier, and glittering leggings to the tune of “Native New Yorker.” The crowd roared with excitement, welcoming her back with open arms.
Her return was anything but unexpected. Back in August, Banks teased fans with a fun Instagram sketch video alongside fellow model Gigi Hadid, where she invited Hadid to join her on the runway. The hype leading up to the show only added to the excitement of Banks’ comeback.
Reflecting on her return, Tyra expressed her awe in a joint Instagram post with Victoria’s Secret last month. “It feels crazy being back on the Victoria’s Secret runway,” she admitted. “I mean ‘cray cray,’ as in ‘cray cray good.’ I never thought I would be back on this runway, to be honest.”
The return of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, which had been canceled in 2019, was nothing short of a spectacle. In addition to Banks’ unforgettable moment, other stars added their own shine to the night. Cardi B graced the pink carpet in a glamorous all-pink ensemble, while South African sensation Tyla made her runway debut. Tyla, dressed in feathered wings and dazzling lingerie, performed her viral hit “Water” and her new track “PUSH 2 START,” leaving an indelible mark on the show.
With such a star-studded lineup and Tyra Banks leading the way, the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was a night to remember, bringing the iconic runway back to its full glory.
