July 29, 2025: Supermodel Tyra Banks is speaking out about an unexpected post-Angel surprise—her once unlimited access to Victoria’s Secret stores was reportedly revoked after she didn’t renew her Angel contract.

In a recent candid interview, Banks revealed that after she decided not to re-sign with the lingerie giant, she was shocked to discover her VIP shopping privileges had vanished. “They told me, ‘You no longer get free lingerie in stores,’” she recalled, laughing. “I thought it was a lifetime hookup!”

A Reign to Remember

Tyra was one of the original faces that helped shape the Victoria’s Secret brand into a global powerhouse. Her presence on the runway was iconic—grace, confidence, and power personified. Fans still remember her dazzling wings and signature walk.

More Than Just a Runway Model

Beyond being a Victoria’s Secret Angel, Tyra Banks helped break barriers in the fashion industry. She was one of the first Black women to front the brand’s campaigns and made history with her Sports Illustrated cover. After leaving VS, she built a media empire, from America’s Next Top Model to producing and hosting major television shows.

Still Serving Looks—And Laughs

Despite the lingerie snub, Banks didn’t seem too bothered. “I’ve got my own line now,” she said cheekily, referring to her ventures in fashion and beauty. “I’ll make my own damn lingerie!”

Tyra’s honesty and humor once again prove why she’s still one of the most relatable and enduring figures in fashion. Whether she’s walking the runway or calling out fashion’s quirks, she continues to inspire—and entertain.
