AceShowbiz - On Tuesday, October 15, Tyra Banks, now 50, graced the runway at the 2024 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, capping off the highly anticipated event. Emerging from beneath the stage, she took the catwalk by storm, showcasing a dazzling black bedazzled bra and corset with matching sparkly black leggings. The midsection of her ensemble shimmered with silver jewels, and she completed her look with a flowing metallic jacket.

As Banks strutted her stuff, the lengthy fabric flowed around her, encouraging the audience to join in her celebratory applause. She was joined by a group of fellow models, including Adriana Lima, Ashley Graham, Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid, Kate Moss, Barbara Palvin, Taylor Hill and more. Appropriately, pink confetti filled the sky as they graced the runway.

Banks made history as the first African American woman to walk the famous Victoria's Secret runway, and she has paved the way for diversity in the fashion industry. Prior to her grand return, she shared a photo from her last show in 2005, expressing her excitement and encouraging others to pursue their dreams.

The former "America's Next Top Model" host explained that she initially retired from the runway because she felt her time in the spotlight had come to an end. However, she was drawn back by the show's commitment to inclusivity, as reflected in the diverse cast of models who joined her on the runway.

For her footwear, Banks adorned Rene Caovilla's black Chandelier sandals, which featured dangling crystal beads reminiscent of the statement light fixture. The luxurious brand, known for sandals with spiraling straps, created custom shoes for the event.

The 2024 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show marked the show's return to its original format after a five-year hiatus. It aired on Amazon Prime Video and other platforms, showcasing a spectacle of glamor, fashion, and entertainment. Joining Banks on stage were a slew of top models, along with a range of celebrity guests and musical performances by Cher, Tyla, and Lisa of BLACKPINK.
