The ‘America’s Next Top Model’ host revealed that her walking in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in October 2024 and the praise she received inspired her to walk again. She stated:

“I had no idea it was gonna blow up in the way that it did. So now I am going to model again, officially… I’m gonna sign with an agency in Sydney. I’m gonna have agencies in Paris. I’m going to be in New York. Like, I’m just gonna do this.” 

Banks’ standalone portion of the show garnered 7 MILLION views on her Instagram.

The ‘Love & Basketball’ actress also said her mom encouraged her to walk in the show:

‘My mama said, ‘You’re not just walking for you this time’. ‘You’re 50. You’re walking for so many people. You’re walking for Black women. You’re walking for older women.’.’

The model superstar isn’t only trying to make a modeling comeback, but a movie one too.

She wants to bring back ‘Life-Size’ for a third installment:

“I want another Black girl for the third one. I was talking to somebody very famous recently, about her starring in it…a couple of other girls are calling now, too.”

It’s amazing to see a legend in the fashion model world like Tyra Banks show age is just a number, and you can werk the runway at any age.
