Tyra Banks has laced up her bikini top and come out of retirement to once again grace the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition.

Smizing wide, Banks was absolutely stunning in a yellow bikini during her shoot in Great Exuma, Bahamas. It's been 20 years since the former "America's Next Top Model" host appeared as the first solo black woman on the cover back in 1997.

"I never thought it would be possible to be 45-years-old and on the cover of this magazine again," Banks said about the return to Sports Illustrated.

The 45-year-old supermodel is one of three women to appear on a cover, as she joins Gronk's GF, Camille Kostek, and soccer star, Alex Morgan with three separate versions of the magazine.
