Coming out of retirement and making her Sports Illustrated Swim return is supermodel Tyra Banks, 45, who features as one of the coveted swim magazine's 2019 cover stars. Previously starring on the cover 22 years old as the first black to have the honor of posing for a SI Swim cover, Tyra sizzles and smolders.
The sensational supermodel first featured in the publication in 1993 and went on to take the cover in 1997, and shows that she still has got it, even stripping to the same polka dot pink bikini for the shoot that she wore on her 1997 cover. Showing off her toned curves, Tyra smolders in a bright yellow halter-neck string bikini, letting her curves steal the spotlight.
Tyra adds on that now is is 25lbs heavier, but wants to show the world that modelling has no age, and is coming out of retirement to practice what she preaches. With her hair done in wild waves with a smoldering smoky eye and nude pink lips, Tyra drips in sex appeal.
Sharing the 2019 SI Swim cover honors with Tyra are dancer and Instagram star Camille Kostek and Team USA soccer player Alex Morgan. The magazine's theme for the year is 'Shattering Perceptions' and SI Swim comes forth in a more powerful and diverse way than ever before.
