Tyra Banks put on a busty display in a dazzling black corset while closing the Victoria Secret show in New York on Tuesday night.
The model, 50, returned to the lingerie brand’s catwalk for the first time in 19 years, where she strutted with confidence.
Banks walked in her first fashion show for the lingerie brand in 1996. Her last appearance on the Victoria’s Secret runway took place in 2005, before embarking on a career in television.
For her 2005 runway appearance, she wore a blue and purple satin bra with black sequin bodice details and a fur cloak.
For Tuesday night’s show, she wore a dazzling black corset and bra, paired with matching sparkly leggings and heels.

The superstar completed the bold fashion look with a floor-grazing metallic silver coat.
At the end of the show, which fans called “the most boring show ever,” Banks was joined on stage by her fellow Victoria’s Secret Angels.
Her fans took to Twitter after the show to question Tyra’s runway outfit, with one writing: ‘Leggings??????? Why would they put leggings on Tyra Banks? She is beautiful… but what was that final look?
‘I watched the entire VS show for Tyra only for her to come out at the end in tights…’ added another.
‘Why was there no glitter on the catwalk??? Where is the fantasy bra? Who put leggings on TYRA BANKS? Why are these angular wings made of cardboard?!#VSFashionShow2024’
“Tyra closing the show in leggings was a big no,” someone else chimed in.
Tyra later struck some of her iconic poses backstage, where she was joined by Gigi Hadid’s sister, Bella Hadid.
Victoria’s Secret announced in August that Banks would be joining the star-studded fashion show.
Tyra teamed up with Gigi to confirm the event’s return after a six-year hiatus.

Tyra gave Gigi an invitation to the show in an Instagram video, saying “see you there,” to which Hadid responded, “I love you.”
He also teased his appearance the following month in a TikTok video.
“It’s crazy to be back on the Victoria’s Secret runway. I mean, like, cray-cray as in cray-cray well. To be honest, I never thought I’d be on this runway again. I remember, what was like 19 years ago, and I thought, ‘This is it.’ And I remember all the press: ‘Tyra’s last… walk.’ It was so over the top that I thought, ‘I’m out.’
Cher was the night’s headliner alongside Blackpink alum Lisa and rising star Tyla, marking the show’s first all-female music lineup.
Fans also criticized the performance of the show, which took place in New York City.
Several early reactions on
“Victoria’s Secret is back with the most boring show ever,” said one user, while another added, “the Victoria’s Secret show seems so modern and boring now I’m disappointed.”
One user said: ‘Victoria Secret has yet to listen to our public demands. This is not the show we wanted. Everyone has straight hair, there are no extremely tall models, the entire production is different.’
Another said: “Victoria Secret really said wake up and you’ll be ruined.”
‘The new Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show feels so SOULLESS, OMG…and why are they playing fake audience applause sounds?’ Where is the iconic track???’
Pink confetti closed the show

‘This was nice but it wasn’t enough… We need to bring back the shiny catwalk and livelier performances!’ said the user. ‘What happened to the sets dedicated by look, the close-ups of the looks, the chaos backstage? Let’s get back to our roots #VSFashionShow2024! The inclusion was nice, but I guess.’
Streaming live on Amazon’s Prime Video, the iconic runway show took place at the Victoria’s Secret flagship store in New York City after a six-year hiatus.
It comes three years after the lingerie brand’s controversial body-positive rebranding in 2021.
The iconic Victoria’s Secret Angels were replaced by ‘ambassadors’ like soccer star Megan Rapinoe and the company fired its former CEO in the wake of falling sales and an explosive revelation that accused the company of misogyny, sexual harassment and intimidation.
