WATCH THE VIDEO HERE Tyra Banks Looks Totally Different at Fashion L.A. Awards — But Still Snatches Her Fashion Icon Crown Wait a second… is that Tyra Banks? Supermodel royalty Tyra Banks, 51, had everyone doing a double take Thursday night when she stepped onto the red carpet at Daily Front Row’s Ninth Annual Fashion L.A. Awards. And let’s just say — love it or side-eye it, Tyra knows how to make an entrance. The America’s Next Top Model host and queen of the smize is fresh off a major life change, having recently swapped the U.S. for Australia. (Honestly, who among us hasn’t wanted to run away and live our best beach life?) But Tyra clearly didn’t leave her sense of fashion drama behind when she crossed the Pacific. At the Beverly Hills Hotel, Tyra was honored with the Fashion Icon Award, and she showed up to remind everyone why she’s been that girl for decades. Her glam? Bold and unapologetic. Tyra sported thicker, dramatic eyebrows, an icy silver shadow around her eyes that gave serious futuristic glam, and a soft, light pink matte lip. She finished off the look with a warm, glowing blush that basically screamed, “I just spent a month living my best life by the ocean.” Her outfit? Pure mystery and power. Tyra wore a dark brown, ankle-length coat that cinched perfectly at the waist with a matching belt. It was giving “luxury boss making power moves” energy. No flashy patterns, no over-the-top sparkles — just clean, sharp, rich-girl minimalism that said, “I don’t need to do the most. I am the most.” Naturally, the internet had thoughts. Some fans were quick to point out that Tyra looked “different” — mainly because her makeup was a departure from her usual natural glam. Others noted how amazing it is that after all these years, Tyra still knows how to dominate a room and keep people talking. Because whether it’s a new beauty look, a new zip code, or a surprise runway comeback (manifesting this!), Tyra has always understood the assignment. But lets not kid ourselves, Tyra clearly had some pretty massive facial surgery to achieve this look. And honestly? That’s exactly what a fashion icon is supposed to do. Fashion isn’t about staying the same — it’s about evolving, experimenting, and being fearless enough to reinvent yourself in front of the world. Even if you didn’t recognize her right away, one thing was crystal clear: Tyra still knows how to own a moment. She still has that undeniable “you can’t look away” energy that made her one of the most iconic supermodels of all time. And now? She’s doing it at 51, while juggling a move across the globe, a new chapter in her life, and zero apologies. We’re here for it. Give us more new looks, more surprises, and more Tyra-level confidence. Always.
