A trailblazer in the modelling world, Tyra Banks, 50, was one of the first prominent African-American Victoria’s Secret Angels in 1995. Her tenure as an Angel lasted for a decade, ending in 2005, as she sought to explore new avenues and opportunities beyond modelling.
She has since become a television personality, hosting and producing the reality TV show America’s Next Top Model. She has also vocally supported the evolution of the fashion industry towards greater inclusivity and diversity, expressing excitement for Victoria’s Secret’s shift from Angels to the VS Collective, a diverse group championing positive change.
