Islamabad, Oct 18: Tyra Banks Reveals Her Biggest Fear During Iconic Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Walk. Tyra Banks’ spectacular comeback to the Victoria’s Secret ramp earlier this week left her speechless.
After 20 years, the supermodel-turned-TV personality recently opened out about her return to the lingerie brand’s annual catwalk. She turned 50 in May. Banks acknowledged feeling “good about” herself and genuinely “living in the moment and really present” during her runway walk during her appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show. She claimed that the description accurately reflected what it was like to take off her wing after all these years.
As she ascended the stage, the single mother recalled how, in her prime, she “would walk” for herself, but now she “felt like everybody was inside of” her. “When I see the playback, I think, ‘Boom, boom, boom.’ I simply felt like there was more. I felt more like a vessel than it was about me, which is why I was stomping. “It was different,” Tyra said to the 49-year-old host.
The former America’s Next Top Model contestant also opened up to viewers about her biggest worry, which was her cleavage, saying that it was “ten times bigger because I was about 40-50 pounds heavier on this runway than when I retired.”
She remembered telling herself, “So I was like, ‘Don’t fall out, don’t fall out,'” on the ramp after she retired from modeling in 2005. Tyra partnered with Gigi to announce the event’s comeback after a six-year break, and Victoria’s Secret hinted at Tyra’s return to the star-studded fashion show in August.
Tyra mouthed the words “see you there” as she handed Gigi an invitation to the show in an Instagram video, to which Hadid responded, “I love you.” In a TikTok video the following month, she also hinted at her appearance.
“Returning to the Victoria’s Secret runway seems surreal. “Cray-cray” as in “cray-cray good,” I mean. To be honest, I never imagined that I would be back on this runway. What was it, like, 19 years ago? I recall thinking, ‘This is it.’ ‘Tyra’s… last… walk,’ I recall the reporters saying. I was like, ‘I’m out,’ because it was so extravagant.
Before turning to show business, Banks participated in her first fashion show for the lingerie brand in 1996 and her last in 2005. Along with next-generation icons Taylor Hill and Barbara Palvin, Alessandra Ambrosio and Adriana Lima also made a comeback in the 2024 show.
