Tyra Banks Reclaims the Runway: Victoria's Secret Angels Make Epic NYC Return!

Angels have literally descended to New York City! After six long years, the Victoria's Secret fashion show made its grand comeback in October 2024, dazzling us with stunning models in jaw-droppingly tiny lingerie and celestial wings. The lineup had a fabulous mix of young stars like Gigi and Bella Hadid, alongside some iconic faces from the '90s and '00s ready to set the runway on fire once more. What it’s really like to work as a Victoria's Secret angel?

Leading this fiery pack, Tyra Banks made waves as she returned to the runway. At 50 and fiercer than ever, Banks closed the 2024 show rising dramatically from mist and flaunting a black and silver bustier, proving she's still got that iconic smize.

Banks has a storied past with Victoria's Secret. As she revealed on Instagram, she broke barriers in the industry, making history as the first Black Victoria's Secret contract model. The "America's Next Top Model" mastermind lit up nine of these legendary shows with outfits that ranged from the sultry to the scorching.

When we talk about risky choices, flashback to 2001 in Bryant Park, New York City. Tyra pushed the boundaries with an ensemble that covered... almost nothing. It featured a feathery white bra and daringly low sash. She pulled off that hip-revealing move, leaving just enough to the imagination, and leaving us all speechless.

But it wasn't all bare behinds. Tyra revealed to "Today" her secret: "Every single Victoria's Secret show I have ever done, my booty was covered in some kind of way," spilling the beans on her smart tweaks to those teeny ensembles.

And who could forget her glittering finale moment at the New York State Armory in November 2005? Tyra dazzled in a rhinestone-studded bra and purple string bikini, giving the basic outfit a flash of drama with emerald jewels and a spectacular, cape-like substitute for wings.

Reflecting on her runway triumph with Bazaar, Tyra teased, "I definitely am not doing a damn thing until I step on that Victoria's Secret runway first." With her sights set back on the stage, the fashion world better brace itself for a Tyra comeback!

Take note, folks, because when Tyra hits the runway, it's more than just a walk – it's an event! It's time to bask in the glory of her return and reminisce about those dazzling throwback moments that made her the ultimate fashion legend.
