The legend known as Tyra Banks has made her return.
People notes the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2019 cover marks her official reintroduction to modeling. Banks has previously appeared on the cover of SI Swimsuit, with her first occurring in 1996 alongside Valeria Mazza. She made history in the following year, becoming the first black woman to receive her own cover.
MJ Day, the magazine’s editor, praised the 45-year-old, saying “Since Tyra’s first cover in 1996, she’s transformed herself into nothing less than a mogul, a cultural force and a supernova of inspiration and empowerment. She’s kind of the Swimsuit Issue ethos come to life, everything we know this franchise can be.”
Naturally, people on the internet can’t control their excitement.
