Tyra Banks and Heidi Klum have been longtime colleagues as supermodels and friends, whose careers have seemed to mirror each other throughout the years dating back to the 1990s.
But even the best of friends and family spend time apart.
Over the weekend, the two fashionistas publicly reunited and used Mariah Carey’s big stage of Las Vegas to pull it off to the delight of fans who attended her Sin City residency The Celebration Of Mimi at Dolby Live at the Park MGM Las Vegas.
In fact, Klum and Banks attended two of the pop superstar’s concerts in Sin City; first on Friday and then again on Saturday night.
After the second residency show Banks couldn’t resist showering her fellow supermodel and America’s Got Talent star with some love, sharing a photo of the two snuggled up next to each other, writing, ‘Heidi… My precious “Angel” forever. [Love] TyTy,’ she wrote in caption.

Banks and Klum’s relationship dates back to the 1990s as catwalk queens on the rise to becoming supermodels, which included gracing the same Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show stages over the years; the models are seen at 4th VS Fashion Show in 1998
Dressed in a two-tone glittery minidress, sparkling stockings, and high heels, Carey was wooing her fans during her show when Banks and Klum came out skipping their way towards the pop superstar holding hands.
The crowd roared with approval as the two supermodels began to do a mock hair and make-up touchup, like all queens need, which inspired Carey to reciprocate by grabbing the ladies’ brush and tapping it on the beauties, all while the band continued to play.
Carey, 55, was rocking long blonde locks that flowed down to her waistline in the back, with an abundance of volume, waves and curls.
Klum, 50, would also wear her blonde tresses long with a center part, while decked black heels and a frilly ensemble with fringe from top to bottom, which was partly covered up with a dark robe-like garment that she ultimately took off before leaving the stage.
In keeping with the fashion theme, Banks, 50, also wore the same dark robe that tied around the waist with a built-in belt.
She also opted to go with black-patterned pants and top, reminiscent of the 90s, and an old-school newsboy cap that she wore backwards over her blonde locks that poured down over her chest and down her back.
Towards the end of their exhibition the ladies all blew kisses to each other and then Banks, who had been carrying one of those robes in her hand, throw it out into the audience.
Klum would follow suit and untie her robe to unveil her fringy outfit, consisting of a pencil skirt and matching top, and then throw it out into the crowd.

As the catwalk queens were making their off stage, Carey stopped them in order to take a photo of the moment. A gentleman then came out with a camera in hand and the trop proceeded to turn their backs to the audience and pose arm-in-arm.
‘And then last night in Las Vegas this happened,’ Klum gushed in the caption alongside a clip, before adding, ‘glam time with the one and only @mariahcarey and @tyrabanks,’ which she ended with a red lips emoji.
The previous day the two stars also were in the audience for the We BelongTogether star’s residency show, which they documented with videos and photos of themselves singing along to every line from Mariah.
‘I got the lyrics ALMOST perfect,’ Banks announced in one of her posts, before adding, ‘I love you, @mariahcarey.’
As for Klum, she would write at the top of her clip: ‘I love you so much!’

Klum and Banks have always had plenty in common, which has helped solidify them as longtime friends and supporters of each other for 27 years and counting.
After touring the world during their journeys to becoming supermodels in the 1990s, Klum and Banks also became recognizable for posing with each other in various advertising campaigns.
They also appeared in the lingerie-clad catwalk for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Shows many times over the years.
Their sexy VS exhibitions, oftentimes decked out in very outrageous and revealing ensembles, helped earn them the distinction of being two of the first group of Victoria’s Secret Angels.
The two ladies rose through the ranks together, sometimes hitting many of the same milestones, which at times were done simultaneously, or close to it.
Both of them appeared on the cover of the very coveted Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, en route to both making history during their rise to supermodel status.
