When it comes to owning the runway, Tyra Banks has it covered.
In a preview clip of an upcoming episode of “The Drew Barrymore Show,” the now-retired supermodel, 50, opened up about her epic return to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Tuesday and explained why this go-around was so different from years past.
“When I was walking on the Victoria’s Secret runway this time, I felt like everybody was inside of me,” Banks, who retired from modeling in 2005, said. “50-year-old women, insecure women — I just felt like there was more, and I look at the playback, and I’m like, boom, boom, boom. I was stomping because I felt like I was a vessel, more so than it’s just all about me. It was different.”

“Also what was different is my boobies were like 10 times bigger because I was about 40–50 pounds heavier on this runway than when I retired,” she says. “So I was like, ‘Don’t fall out, don’t fall out.'”

“It feels crazy being back on the Victoria’s Secret runway,” Banks said in a joint Instagram post. “I mean ‘cray cray,’ as in ‘cray cray good.’ I never thought that I would be back on this runway, to be honest.”

“I think the world has changed to see that, as women, we don’t have to be a stereotype and to fit into one mold,” she explained. “And so I feel very excited and fortunate to come back and celebrate all of myself and not feel like I have to cut off a piece to be taken seriously.”
