Tyra Banks Came Out Of Retirement To Grace The Cover Of The 'Sports Illustrated' Swimsuit Edition—And She's As Fierce As Ever

We are often told that beauty fades, but that old adage does not apply to everyone.

Supermodel Tyra Banks came out of modeling retirement at 45 for the latest Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover and still manages to turn heads.

Some people just have all the luck AND age-defying looks.

But Tyra reminded us to own our whatever condition our bodies are in and to embrace ourselves.

"This is for everybody that has been told that they are not good enough because of their body, their age, their everything. #BanX is here to tell you that you ARE friggin' fierce no matter what anybody says! Drop mic now!"

Yes, ma'am!

She could be motivational all she wants, but this woman still looks fierce. It ain't no Maybelline, because she was born with it!

Twitter agrees.

She will probably always look amazing, but we have to commend her for taking a body positivity stand. Let's all listen to Tyra and love ourselves just the way we are.
