Victoria's Secret made a spectacular return to the runway on Tuesday, reviving its iconic catwalk shows.
Tyra Banks celebrated her tenth appearance with the intimate wear brand, strutting down the runway to the rhythm of "Native New Yorker." The modeling icon made a stunning comeback after her retirement in 2005, wearing a silver cape with black lining, a crystal-adorned bustier, sparkling leggings, and heels.
Banks hinted at the show’s revival in an Instagram post back in August, sharing a sketch video featuring Chappell Roan's music. She commented, “What we really need is a femininomenon!” The sketch depicted Gigi Hadid starstruck by Banks before accepting an invitation from her.
The announcement of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show's return came earlier this year, with the brand acknowledging audience feedback in a May Instagram post: “We’ve read the comments and heard you. The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is BACK and will reflect who we are today, plus everything you know and love—the glamour, runway, wings, musical entertainment, and more!”
In September, Banks reappeared on Victoria's Secret's social media, expressing her excitement about returning to the runway. “It feels crazy being back on the Victoria’s Secret runway," she shared in a joint post with the brand. "I mean ‘cray cray,’ as in ‘cray cray good.’ I never thought that I would be back on this runway, to be honest.”
