Tyra Banks has been through multiple career evolutions. She’s gone from supermodel, to TV host, to entrepreneur. Now, she’s returning to her roots. On Wednesday, she was joined by fellow model Gigi Hadid in a clip announcing the 2024 return of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. She dropped a call back to another one of her former projects, using “America’s Next Top Model’s” Tyra Mail to deliver the invite to Hadid.

After the lingerie brand received fierce competition from Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty and made headlines for a lack of diversity and inclusivity, the runway show was paused in 2019. However, it returned with a star-studded lineup in 2023. The 2024 edition is scheduled to take place Oct. 15 in New York City.

As of now, there are no details yet on hosts, performers or models participating. As we wait for more news, we thought it’d be a great time to revisit some of Tyra’s most memorable looks from her time as an Angel in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
