Tyra Banks returns to runway, Kate Moss debuts at Victoria's Secret show

Article content

Tyra Banks returned to the runway for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Tuesday, almost 20 years after her modelling retirement.

The 50-year-old beauty made her comeback at the lingerie extravaganza — which made its return following a six-year break — by closing out the event at Brooklyn Navy Yard in New York City in a black bustier with crystal embellishments teamed with a silver cape, leggings and strappy heels.

Banks’ appearance was her first walk down the runway since 2005 and marked her ninth Victoria’s Secret show.

Adriana Lima made a triumphant return, having appeared at every Victoria’s Secret show from 1999 until 2018 except for 2009, when she was on maternity leave, donning a black underwear set with checked trousers and matching long-sleeved cut-out top and iridescent butterfly wings.

Former Angel Doutzen Kroes also made her comeback at the show, walking for Victoria’s Secret for the first time in 10 years.

The 39-year-old model suffered a minor mishap when she got her heel caught in a crack in the runway as she stepped out to Chappell Roan’s ‘Femininomenon’ but managed to free herself without the need of offered help from fellow catwalk star Imaan Hammam.

But while many familiar faces headed back to the runway, Kate Moss, 50, made her debut at the event as did her daughter Lila, 22.

Kate wore black lingerie with a long sheer lace gown, strappy heels and black feather wings as she walked to Orianthi’s take on ‘I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll’, while Lila — whose father is Jefferson Hack — wore blush pink underwear and pink feathered sleeves. Instead of traditional wings, she accessorized with a custom art piece that read ‘Lila M’.

Sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid also made it a family affair, with the former opening the show, ascending from underneath the runway in a silky pink teddy teamed with silver heels and huge hoop earrings, as well as a pair of pink wings.

Bella closed out the show in a lacy red set teamed with red and black feather coat and matching heels, having recently ended her two-year modelling hiatus after taking a break to focus on her mental health and Lyme disease struggles.

Other models walking the runway on Tuesday for the event — which included an all-female musical line-up of Lisa, Tyla, and Cher — included Candice Swanepoel, Ashley Graham, Valentina Sampaio, and Paloma Elsesser.
