Tyra Banks Feels Confident In An Eye-catching Curves Now

49 year-old Tyra Banks was battling with weight issues, but says she thinks she is more appealing now than when she was ‘thin’ in her supermodel prime.

According to her, she’s very happy about how she looks now and can ‘gladly’ set her fantastic curves up for anyone to see after being gobbled up to model in the most recent Karen Millen Icons Campaign.

The America’s Next Top Model alumna, who recently left her ”Dancing With The Stars” hosting gig, additionally assumed the huge role of creative director for the brand’s fall capsule collection.

The new line involves different pieces – including dazzling maxi dresses and popular overcoats.

She recently dazzled in a Jersey Hotfix dress in dark gold that clung to her frame and was made of shimmering material. Another one also included a thigh-high cut which is visible on the front piece of the dress as well as a plunging neck area for a hot flare.

Her voluminous locks were separated aside and easily streamed down past her shoulders in rich twists, somewhat uncovering a couple of conspicuous hooped studs.

The mother of one slipped into a couple of open-toed strappy gold heels to match with the variety design of the sparkling troupe.

She recently expressed the following when she was talking about being the next face of the London-based brand’s ICONS campaign:

‘I don’t have the body I used to have when I was on runways, and so to have these clothes fit me like this … it’s rare to have a tailored piece look good on curves,’ she admitted. I feel empowered. Sometimes I’ll go to a photo shoot and I’ll be like, “This stuff ain’t going fit me. It ain’t going to fit right.” I’m going to have to do all these tricks and stuff. But I feel proud to have these clothes and that they look so good.’

Helena Christensen and Paulina Porizkova, among other supermodels, had previously appeared in Karen Millen’s ICONS campaign, and Tyra expressed her gratitude for the opportunity.

‘I was actually very flattered and touched and honored because Helena Christensen was everything for me.’

‘She’s my generation and we were on the same runways, but she was a little bit … ahead of me. To now be called an icon with her touches my 18-year-old self very deeply,’ Tyra expressed to the outlet.

The star, who started modeling when she was 15 years old, achieved a number of milestones, including becoming the first Black woman to appear on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit magazine.

Yet again in 2019, she made one more achievement by featuring on the cover at 45 years old – becoming the oldest woman to do as such at that point. Recently, Martha Stewart showed up on the cover at 81-years of age.

Previously, Tyra has remarked on her weight, for example, during an interview in 2018.

‘I used to feel like my body was not mine. I’ve been too thin or too big. And I used to feel like I was betraying people if I lost weight.’

When it comes to being healthy and fit, she admitted in a statement,

I do not believe in diets. I have been on diets in the past. They are a bunch of bologna.’

Rather she expects to keep food diaries to monitor the kinds of food she ate to assist her with eating better – not to follow calories.

After posing on the 2019 cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Magazine, she revealed in 2020 to Harper’s Bazaar.

‘I have a very interesting relationship with food. I have to say that it is one of the most important things in my life.’

Tyra was recently replaced by pro dancer, Julianne Hough, as the co-host of Dancing With The Stars.

Banks notably stepped down from the role she has had since 2020 to focus on her business ventures, such as launching her ice cream brand called, SMiZE & DREAM.
