2 min read
Tyra Banks is back, and boy, is she making waves-or should I say, struts! The incomparable supermodel/television personality left jaws dropped with her return to the Victoria’s Secret runway almost two decades after hanging up those angel wings. And as expected, it was nothing short of spectacular.
While having a sit-down with The Drew Barrymore Show, the 50-year-old America’s Next Top Model star broke it down-the powerful return to the famous lingerie runway. Unsurprisingly, it was just as fierce as one would imagine.
Tyra said this experience was totally different from her early days of modeling. “I used to walk just for me, but this time it felt like everybody was with me, pushing me forward,” she concluded with Drew, capturing the emotional essence of that moment. If you’ve seen the footage, you’ll understand-she wasn’t just walking; she was owning that runway with confidence, telling the world, “I’m back, and better than ever!
However, Tyra admitted she had one big concern: her assets. “I’m about 40 to 50 pounds heavier than I was back in the day, and I was just praying, ‘Please don’t let anything pop out!’ ” she laughed, remembering her fear of a wardrobe malfunction.
Tyra’s comeback was part of Victoria’s Secret highly anticipated return show that stirred a mix of past and present superstars, including Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, Taylor Hill, and Barbara Palvin, among others. But probably outshining everyone else, Tyra re-emerging after 19 years actually stole the show.
She first teased her return back in August with a playful Instagram video, where she handed Gigi Hadid an invite to the show. The rumors only got louder after Tyra posted a TikTok in September, waxing poetic on her return: “It’s crazy being back on the Victoria’s Secret runway. I never thought I’d do this again. Who would’ve imagined?”
Tyra first pounded the Victoria’s Secret runway in 1996, when she became one of the top supermodels.
