Nearly 30 years later, Tyra Banks remains an important part of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition legacy.
The supermodel, 50, looked busty in a chic pantsuit while celebrating the 60th anniversary edition on Thursday at the Hard Rock Café in New York City.
She sizzled in a black double-breasted jacket, which featured fuchsia lapels and matching buttons.
Banks wore just a black bra under her jacket and completed the ensemble with a pair of black pointed-toe pumps.
The America’s Next Top Model star looked gorgeous with a bright blue smoky eye, framed by a voluminous wavy hairstyle.

She posed on the red carpet with photographer and old friend Yu Tsai, who shot this year’s covers.
Banks appears on the cover of SI’s 60th Anniversary Swimsuit Issue alongside the likes of Martha Stewart, Gayle King, Christie Brinkley, Jessica Simpson, Chrissy Teigen, Kate Upton, Leyna Bloom and more.
SI previously teased the photo shoot in March, for which they reunited 29 of their former cover models.
The Life-Size actress shared a behind-the-scenes look video of herself posing for the shoot, remembering her first time on the cover.
“28 years ago, I made history by being the first black model to appear on the cover of @si_swimsuit,” she wrote in the caption.
“And today, I am honored to be called a LEGEND and an ICON on this year’s 60th anniversary cover,” Banks added.
He also posed a question to his 7.2 million Instagram followers: ‘When you grow up, why do you expect to be a legend?’
Banks later shared some sexy snaps from her hotel room while rocking the gold metallic wrap dress with a thigh-high leg slit, which she wore on the new cover.
‘The after party in my hotel room after the @si_swimsuit cover shoot! It was ON!!! (Just me and my [heart emoji] and some @netflix.),’ he captioned the photos.

After celebrating her 50th birthday in December, Banks told People that her life is “totally different than what I thought” it would be at that age.
“I’m exploding.” I’m not insecure about myself. “I’m not hallucinating,” he said earlier this month. ‘I often say “Child, [I’m] 50!” before I say anything. That statement gives me permission to say whatever I feel like saying.”
Banks added, “I’m a mom and an entrepreneur.” 50 feels good.”
This years Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue comes with four covers featuring Gayle King, Kate Upton, Chrissy Teigen and Lily Aldridge.
The issue will be on sale on May 17.
