Tyra Banks Reclaims the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show at 50 and Slays Like Never Before!

Hold onto your wings because Tyra Banks just lit up the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show runway like never before—nearly two decades after she initially took her final bow with the iconic lingerie brand. The runway queen and entertainment mogul, now 50, closed the show with a moment so emotional and empowering, it was like watching a celebration of confidence set to a catwalk beat. Tyra’s reappearance wasn't just about sashaying down the fashion runway—it was a triumphant parade of her journey and self-growth since she strutted away from the modeling scene in 2005. Check it out here!

Appearing on "The Drew Barrymore Show," Tyra dished on how intensely she vibed with the moment. Drew, 49, couldn't help but gush over how radiant Tyra looked, noting she seemed to be having the time of her life.

Tyra didn't even hesitate to agree, spilling the deets on how the experience felt worlds apart from her early runway days. This time, she wasn't just representing herself—she was channeling the spirit of women everywhere, especially those who feel their confidence take a nosedive as the years go by. Talk about leveling up!

Reflecting on her runway return, Tyra felt like she was a vessel of strength and empowerment for every woman who has faced similar insecurities. She said, "This time, I felt like everybody was inside of me—50-year-old women, insecure women. I was stomping because I felt like it was bigger than just me."

And as if that wasn’t enough to keep us on the edge of our seats, Tyra hilariously acknowledged how her body has, ahem, evolved over the years. She quipped about her curves, "My boobies were like 10 times bigger because I was about 40-50 pounds heavier on this runway than when I retired. So I was like, 'Don't fall out, don't fall out.'"

Tyra’s return marks her triumphant ninth walk for Victoria’s Secret, adding a new, deeper layer of meaning to her performance. She’s come full circle, showing us all that at 50, she still has the wings—and the power—to soar.

The legendary Victoria's Secret Fashion Show made its sizzling return after a six-year break, setting hearts racing everywhere. HOLA! USA gained exclusive backstage access to the pre-show pandemonium where models received the royal treatment—because it's not just about wearing wings, it’s about making them flutter.

Beauty magicians worked tirelessly, ensuring flawless makeup, breathtaking hairstyles, and jaw-dropping manicures that made every model feel like a runway star. Your beauty gurus need to take notes because this show was the ultimate masterclass in glamour and empowerment.
