Tyra Banks Comes Out Of Modeling Retirement For Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Cover [VIDEO]

Who knew there was such a thing as 'modeling retirement'? Well there is, and super model Tyra Banks was in it - until now. For the third time the bombshell has graced the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition.

Tyra Banks was the first African American woman to pose alone on the cover in 1997. Her first cover photo ever was in 1996 with fellow model Valeria Mazza. As you can see Tyra still looks amazing. You can check out Tyra revealing the cover on Good Morning America in the video below.

There will be three separate issues for 2019. The two other covers feature U.S. National Women’s Soccer team member Alex Morgan and model Camille Kostek.

Do you purchase these special edition issues, or does seeing a picture(s) on line suffice?

@tyrabanks, @camillekostek and @alexmorgan13 have landed the cover of #SISwim 2019! ✨ “The three women that make up the covers of the 2019 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue represent the brand in the most powerful way possible,” @mj_day said. “While each individual woman is so unique, they come together cohesively to tell a spectacular story."
