Tyra Banks comes out of retirement to pose for Sports Illustrated!
One of the most recognizable modeling figures in history, Tyra Banks was once the most popular model in the industry. She made history in 1997 when she became the first black woman to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated solo.

Since posing for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition back in 1997, Tyra Banks has gone on to establish herself as one of the most powerful women in modeling. The popularity she garnered helped Banks transform from much sought after model to a reality television and talk show host.
