Tyra Banks - biography

Tyra Lynn Banks - a world-famous model and actress, and also the host of the popular TV show "American Top Model" - was born in America, on December 4, 1973, in the small town of Inglewood. Her family did not have a special income, and when the girl was six years old, her parents divorced, but, caring for her daughter, they still managed to keep warm friendly relations among themselves.

Model Tyra Banks

The career of the model for Taira did not start at all smoothly. Since childhood, because of excessive leanness and growth, she was subjected to constant ridicule from her classmates. However, while studying in college, the situation has radically changed: now what was a major drawback was the main advantage. With a height of 178 centimeters, Taira weighed only 50 kilograms, and this made her just an ideal object for filming.

Realizing the new prospects, the girl sent her resume to four agencies, but in the agency Elite first saw the great potential of the future supermodel Tyra Banks. It was with this agency that she signed her first contract - Tyre was then only 17 years old.

Tyra Banks went to Paris, where she made a real sensation. There she took part in the shows of several famous designers and was appreciated. Soon, Tyra received offers to participate in the fashion show at once from 25 fashion houses. For the novice model, this was the most stunning result in a career. After such a success, eminent brands Ralph Lauren and Chanel also wanted to get Miss Banks as the face of their advertising campaigns.

After the triumphant return from Europe, her rapid career growth began. Tyra became one of those models that in 1997 adorned the cover of the famous Playboy magazine. For the girl, this was only the beginning of the journey, although very soon she was awarded the "supermodel of the year" award.

Now Tyra Banks began to appear not only on the catwalks, but also on television. She is a frequent guest on television shows. And it's not surprising, because now Tyra is one of the twenty most expensive mannequins in the world. She, along with Naomi Campbell, becomes the first among the black models to decorate the covers of Sports Ilyustreit, Gee Kew and the catalogs of Victoria's Secrets.

At 31, supermodel Tyra Banks permanently leaves the world podium and devotes himself entirely to television.

The secret of the beauty of Tyra Banks

The main secret of the beauty of Tyra Banks is, first of all, in its naturalness and ease. She never sits on diets and eats everything she likes, even flour and fast food. Tyra maintains the harmony of the figure thanks to constant training. She loves tennis and basketball, and does it all for the sake of pleasure, rather than the need to stay in shape.

Taira Banks Style

On the account of Tyra Banks there were a lot of fashionable reincarnations, however in general a great evolution of style did not take place. Taira's style is a calm procession: nothing fanciful, fluffy, excessive and no risk. All the outfits of Tayra are subject to this principle: shiny pouches that emphasize the figure, or light flowing silhouettes. Her motto: "True elegance in simplicity, the absence of pretentiousness and artificiality." There were no special experiments with hair. Committed to her luxurious long hair, Tyra always created for herself an incredibly feminine and graceful image.

Despite leaving the model business, in 2008, Tyra Banks was in the top five of the sexiest models in the world. This woman is rightly considered an icon of style - and who knows what else she has prepared for us in the future?
