“I am over the moon excited because I’m in my late 30s, I just had three children, and I am feeling so curvy and so sexy, and my outfit is fire,” Graham said, adding, “I’m most excited about representing so many curvy women of all shapes and sizes on the runway.”
Kate Moss, 50, also made a surprise appearance when she strutted onstage to “I Love Rock ’n’ Roll,” wearing a sheer lace black gown and a puff of black wings.
Claudia Schiffer, who walked in her first and only VS Fashion Show in 1997, returned to the VS stage this year in a sheer black ensemble. Schiffer,, 54, was the first to wear the company’s diamond-encrusted Fantasy Bra in 1996.
Longtime model Carla Bruni, also a singer and the former first lady of France, walked her first VS Fashion Show this year at 56. She strutted down the runway in a black corset and heart-shaped wings framed with a beaded fringe.
The show closed with Banks, who led a pack of the night’s models down the runway as pink confetti rained down onstage. Strutting in her geometric black jumpsuit as she twirled her flowing metallic cape, Banks, the former longtime host of “America’s Next Top Model,” made her return to the fashion show runway after nearly 20 years.
