What ’90s trend does Tyra Banks hope to make a comeback in 2026?

“America’s Next Top Model” host Tyra Banks is no stranger to combining pieces to create an iconic look for the runway or a major fashion spread. Since getting into the game at the age of 15, Banks has seen it all, from classic, chic looks to viral trends that come and go in a minute. But there’s one trend of the times that the mother of one predicts will make an epic comeback in 2026, and the answer might surprise.

Speaking to PEOPLE at the world premiere of Cirque Du Soleil LUDÕ in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico, Banks, 52, revealed that she hopes a certain ’90s fashion trend will make a comeback in the coming months. As she explained, her love for ’90s fashion has been with her for years and one specific trend might finally be ready to make a comeback. “If I could bring back a trend from the 90s… [I’d] I love these tight collars, and they had…a little handle on them, and we made them with black yarn. Like a black ribbon,” she said. Banks said the look is simple and cheap. “Please come back,” she added. “Make it happen.”

In addition to reinventing old trends, the outspoken television personality and iconic runway model has continued to expand her brand, Smize & Dream ice cream. The sweet treat is a bit of an enigma, as it is described as warm and sipable, reminiscent of a hot, creamy drink and ice cream sundae.

The superstar’s flagship store opened in Sydney, Australia, and has since become one of the most talked about celebrity creations in years. During her interview, she called the store’s success “crazy,” revealing that the support took her by surprise.

“I never thought this would go viral. I never thought I would be in Mexico and at the opening of a new Cirque du Soleil show and be asked about it. So this is beyond my expectations, and now I have to live up to it,” she said.

Banks understands that the concept of his hot ice cream business may be a little confusing for some. “I realized that when I named it hot ice cream, it was like playing on the opposite: hot, cold, frozen, hot. So it leaves people confused,” she said, later calling it “amazing.”

To generate even more buzz around the creation, Banks developed a character, Santa Smize, who Banks said “looks exactly like me” and “has issues with me because I invented hot ice cream.”

Santa Smize, as Banks says, is jealous of Smize & Dream’s success. “So it’s quite a situation. You’re going to see a lot of her – especially next Christmas – because she’s also going viral. Because she’s in pain,” Banks added.

Banks’ Santa Smize character has already made headlines this holiday season, according to The Blast. Just a few weeks ago, the fictional character made an appearance at an Australian pub and raised eyebrows after he was recorded sharing his intense feelings about Smize & Dream.

“Kid, he’s not biting that cookie. He’s not slurping that cream,” said Banks, dressed as Santa Smize with a long yellow wig and Santa hat. “He took a bowl from your cupboard…and he put a little bit of cookie, and he put a little bit of that milk, and he mixed it all together. And then he put it in your freezer. And he tried to make it taste like Santa SMiZE, and it tastes like Santa shit!”
