The model waved the long fabric around, encouraging onlookers to clap and celebrate with her.

Meanwhile, the rest of the show’s models — including Adriana Lima, Ashley Graham, Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid, Kate Moss, Barbara Palvin, Taylor Hill and more — walked in a group behind Banks.

The former America’s Next Top Model host told TikTok star Tefi Pessoa backstage before the show: “The moment I retired – not because it was over; it was the outfit. It was red, I had all the medals, I had the scepter. It just felt so good. I loved that moment.”

The supermodel returned to the iconic show after a nearly 20-year hiatus, previously in 2005.

Victoria’s Secret shared the iconic announcement in September in a cheeky Instagram video with fellow model Gigi.

Ahead of her big return, Banks shared a photo from her final show expressing her excitement.

“You’re…never too young for SMiZE,” she captioned the post on Monday. “Never too old to dream. And I hope you’ll do both with me tomorrow when I rock the @victoriassecret runway again after almost 20 years!

“As you walk, think about YOUR dreams, what YOU want to achieve. The thing you doubted yourself about. The thing you’re not confident you can do,” she continued.

Banks encouraged her followers to “never stop DREAMING” and said she would see everyone again on Tuesday for the big night.

The Life Size actress made history when she became the first African-American woman to cover the Victoria’s Secret catalog and walked in her first runway show in 1996 before appearing in a total of eight more.

Banks took part in the coveted fashion show alongside a number of other famous models, returning after a five-year hiatus.

A revamped version of the show returned last year after being canceled in 2019 amid criticism that the show and the company’s products were not inclusive.

However, tonight’s runway marks the first time in five years that the show has returned to the traditional runway format, which aired on network television for nearly 20 years before finding its home on Prime Video.

A spokesperson told Page Six in May that Tuesday’s show would “deliver exactly what our customers have been demanding – glamour, runway, fashion, fun, wings, entertainment – all through a powerful, modern lens that reflects who we are today.”
