The supermodel first appeared on the cover of the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 1993 alongside Valeria Mazza, and she went on to make history as the first black model with a solo cover three years later. Now, Tyra has come out of retirement to grace the cover once again at 45.
In a behind-the-scenes video taken at the shoot, Tyra said, "Being the first black woman on the cover, I didn't dream it because I never thought it was possible." She added, "Almost like this, I never thought it'd be possible: I'm 45 years old on the cover of this magazine again."
Though her modeling skills have always remained on point, Tyra said her curvier physique made the shoot a little different this time around. On having "more stuff to work with," Tyra said, "At first it was a little bit more difficult, but after the first shot I was like, I got this."
