Tyra Banks’ wardrobe on Dancing With the Stars has been getting a lot of attention. One episode featured large wings and a burgundy outfit. According to the former supermodel, there is a special meaning behind this look. In a recent chat with E!’s Daily Pop, Banks says it resembles her time as Victoria’s Secret angel.
“There’s a base of that dress. It looks like a normal, beautiful dress from the ’90s,” She spoke out about the viral look. “Then I go on the stage in front of the audience and everybody, and I put on the wing thing. And everybody was like, ‘Oh!’ because they thought the first thing was the normal dress. I call it Victoria’s Secret wangs. It’s not wings. It’s got an A. That’s how we did it.”
The look was loved by Banks, 47. The dress was created by Julian Mendez Couture and styled by Natalia Barzilai, the creative director of the company, and Eric Archibald. Banks asked her 6.8 million Instagram followers questions about the outfit. She wanted to know if the ruffles at the gown were ‘wings’ or a fan.
The show’s fans were not impressed. Many compared her appearance to a dinosaur. Others were just confused.
