Tyra Banks Shares Her Thoughts on Victoria Secret's Brand Overhaul

The Dancing With the Stars host shared a photo of herself at her final Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway in 2005 alongside the caption, “First is hard. First is lonely. But first is necessary.”

“First is crucial so that a door can be opened for others to fit through,” she continued. “Within a 10-year span starting in 1995, I was the first Black @VictoriasSecret contract model ever. The first Black Victoria’s Secret Cover model. The first Black VS model to do so many other groundbreaking things with the brand—as well as other brands. But after a first, must come a flow of more. A flow of different. A flow of unique. A flow so strong, a flow of so many that we LOSE COUNT.”

“I retired from the runway 16 years ago,” she added, “and I’m proud that in my lifetime, I’m witnessing a beauty revolution.”

“To the new collective of badass ROLE models, I may have cracked that door open, but y’all are charging through,” Trya concluded. “Keep on keepin’ on until we all LOSE COUNT of how many are breaking through behind you. #LetsLoseCount.”
