AceShowbiz - Tyra Banks, the supermodel turned mogul, has shared her thoughts on her epic comeback to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. On "The Drew Barrymore Show", the 50-year-old described the true joy she felt as she graced the runway once more as a Victoria's Secret Angel. She also spoke about how she felt she was representing a wider range of women this time around.
While some may have criticized Banks' weight gain since her previous appearances on the Victoria's Secret stage, the former "America's Next Top Model" host has received support for her embrace of inclusivity.
Banks has long been outspoken about the unrealistic beauty standards in the modeling industry. In the past, she has faced criticism for her treatment of plus-sized models on her show. However, supporters argue that her aim was to prepare contestants for the challenges they would face in the real world.
Despite the differing opinions, Banks' return to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show has sparked a wider conversation about body positivity and the importance of representing diverse body types in the media. As Banks herself has pointed out, times have changed, and women should not be demonized for not meeting outdated beauty standards.
The 2024 show also welcomed back Victoria's Secret veterans Alessandra Ambrosio and Adriana Lima, as well as next-generation icons Taylor Hill and Barbara Palvin. Cher, Blackpink alum Lisa, and rising star Tyla provided the musical entertainment, making it the show's first-ever all-female musical lineup.
