Tyra Banks Reflects on Last Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Walk Nearly 20 Years Ago Before 2024 Runway Return

Learn more about the model’s last walk and how her fellow 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show models feel about her return.

When did Tyra Banks last walk the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway?

Banks last walked the Victoria’s Secret runway for the 2005 fashion show. “I was like, ‘This is it,’” Banks said. “It was so over-the-top, and I was like, ‘I’m out,’” she said.

“My last walk was this red outfit, and I had these medals all around my waist. I had hair that was super long; crazy long lashes and I had this scepter that said ‘V’ in my hand. And I got to the end of the runway, and I kissed it,” Banks said.

“And then I raised it and I started pumping, pumping. In my head I was like, ‘I’m out.’ But you pulled me back in,” Banks said, referencing her return to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show this fall. The model also served as a Victoria’s Secret Angel from 1997 until 2005.

Along with her memorable finale outfit, Banks wore two other looks for the 2005 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. The model wore a black bustier ensemble with a bevy of feathers trailing behind her and a blue and purple jewel-toned look, which featured ornately designed green beads on her waist and beneath her bustline.
