Tyra Banks’ Iconic Style Moments, From The '90s To Now

The "America's Next Top Model" host is quite the fashion chameleon.

Tyra Banks is one of the most famous faces in fashion.

The supermodel, who rose to fame in the ’90s alongside the likes of Claudia Schiffer and Amber Valletta, has broken boundaries in the industry. In 1996, she became the first black woman on the cover GQ and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue (she posed with Valeria Mazza). In 1997, she graced the SI Swimsuit issue solo ― another iconic moment in her career.

Of course, Banks is also responsible for bringing us the TV masterpiece otherwise known as “America’s Next Top Model.” It was on that reality competition series that Banks taught us all about the “booty tooch” and “smize.”

Banks also hosted her own talk show, aptly titled “The Tyra Banks Show,” from 2005 to 2011, and “America’s Got Talent” in 2017 and 2018 (which is rumored to be her final year). She also famously appeared in the movie “Life Size” alongside a young Lindsay Lohan and will star in a sequel, which is set to air this month.

On top of all that, Banks is a published author; she released her book, Perfect Is Boring, in April, written with her mother.

On Tuesday, the supermodel and TV star will celebrate her 45th birthday. As our way of celebrating, we’re taking a look back at her most stylish moments through the years. From runways to red carpets, scroll through to see them all:
