A famous model will make her big comeback on the Victoria’s Secret runway (VS for short), alongside Gigi Hadid: Tyra Banks (50 years old). As a reminder, the glamorous lingerie show should make its big comeback October 15thand will spread its wings and endless legs in the city of New York.
Two prestigious members of the VS army: Tyra Banks and Heidi Klum, here in 2003.
The brand announced the big news via a video posted on its Instagram account. The footage shows the silhouette of a young woman moving languidly in a luxurious hotel lobby, before the camera reveals Gigi Hadid’s face. The model is wearing floor-slapping stilettos and a little sequined dress.
She then rings the bell at reception, where a mysterious woman seen from behind, wearing a jacket bearing the name of the Victoria’s Secret fashion show, struggles to turn around.
When she finally deigns to take care of her guest, we discover a Tyra Banks who seems to have decided never to age, a golden envelope in her hands. Handing the invitation to her younger sister, Tyra just has time to mention: “see you there” before the final clap.
As for the Victoria’s Secret brand, it captioned its publication:
“Sorry we couldn’t write a caption, we were too busy picking our jaws up off the floor when Tyra Banks and Gigi Hadid handed out VSFS invites. You get the idea.”

Tyra Banks is back after 19 years of absence. It was in 2005 that the one who is also a very well-known TV presenter hung up her wings, after nine laps of the track. Just for fun, here is a compilation of his passages between 1997 and 2005:
Despite the many controversies the brand has been through, Gigi Hadid has always remained loyal to the company founded by Roy Raymond. So far, she has taken part in three shows, in addition to the special prime time broadcast in 2023.
Many Internet users have indeed criticized Victoria’s Secret for a lack of inclusivity regarding the ethnic origin of its models, but also a lack of representation regarding the various body types. The debate grew so big that the show ended up being canceled in 2019. For its big comeback, the brand tried to makeover and improve its image, by counting on plus-size models like Paloma Elsesser, various skin tones, and by focusing more on the commitments and singular trajectories of its recruits. A transgender model even joined the ranks of the Angel Army.
A successful bet this year? Verdict on October 15.
