After nearly 20 years, Tyra Banks is storming back to the runway and a grand return to Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

Tyra Banks Returns to Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show After 19 Years
Runway return: Tyra Banks, 50 years old, models the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Tuesday evening after a 19-year hiatus. The former talk show host and businesswoman wowed in a black bustier corset with matching cape, shimmering leggings and strappy-black heels. That show-stopping get, that resembled shattered glass, finale-d the star studded event which also included appearances from Gigi Hadid and Adriana Lima as well as performances by Cher & Tyla.
Back Why Tyra Banks Came Back
Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar she explained that her comeback on the catwalk was an “out-of-body experience.” The supermodel said she declined another modeling contract with Victoria’s Secret in 2005 when walking away from her job as a model to focus on the talk show and other projects. Back then, she thought modelling alone would not be enough for her to command attention.
But, Banks is under the impression that things are different nowadays. But, as the world has progressed she is able to do more than just be a runway model: businesswoman, her ice cream company founder and educator at schools such as Stanford or Harvard.
I am the Smiling Black Woman for Diversity on The Runway — Sort of
Looking back on the transformation at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, Banks said that she was thrilled about all of this newfound inclusivity. She believed that she had helped open the door to more representation, and today’s fashion industry is indeed less homogeneous than ever. Banks intimated that her modeling comeback might be more than just a one-night thing, adding that she would likely weigh additional opportunities after the show.
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Returns to the Runway
The 2024 VSFS was the brand’s comeback to runway in six long years with its previous show being scheduled back in 2018.

But in May 2024, Victoria’s Secret broke the news about it on Instagram and said that they were going to have a new fashion show adapted for present consumers’ tastes.
And it did not disappoint — the show was a star-studded runway featuring Gigi Hadid leading off in an angel with broken wings sort of look, silky plunge one-piece and all; Bella Hadid looked like she has done this before;; Alessandra Ambrosio slayed as usual. Joan Smalls also back into the picture tonight with some fierce looks too among others that were blazing up the catwalk heap.
A Night of Star-Studded Performances
The occasion also marked a “first-ever, all-woman line-up” with performances from the likes of Cher, Tyla and Blackpink’s Lisa. Showcasing the brand with a modern and powerful approach showed that through all of its time, Palmolive Naturals has changed; it was not only “reflecting” who they are today.
