After a five-year hiatus (it felt like a lifetime, TBH) the iconic Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is back, bby! Overnight [October 16, 2024], the angels touched down on the glistening New York City runway to showcase the brand's new and improved lingerie looks. Arguably, though, it was one OG diva who stole the spotlight with her megawatt beauty... Tyra Banks, we were all rooting for you!
Yep, that's right; the 50-year-old America's Next Top Model judge stripped it all back (quite literally), stomping down the runway and closing the entire show in a gorgeous black and silver number. Having said that, what topped the gorgeous-ness scale came her hair, which was styled in a gigantic XXL afro. Beauty overload, much?!
There really was no missing it, folks but if you didn't tune in, take a look at her 'do, below.
Props go out to Duffy, the lead hairstylist for this year's VS show and the genius behind Tyra's 'fro.
IMO, it was the best look of the night. 10s, 10s, 10s across the board.
Other notable looks included the one and only Gigi Hadid, everyone's fave Ashley Graham, IT girl Candice Swanepoel and Chanel alum Xu Wei. The gang's all here!
Everyone's clicking on...
However, there's no denying that Miss Tyra walked so that these angels could run fly. Snaps all around, please.
