Model and TV presenter Tyra Banks - biography and photo shoots

For some, Model Tyra Banks became known primarily not as a model, but as the host of a popular TV show.

In fact, Tyra Banks did a lot of things - she was a model, and a singer, and an actress, and a producer, and, of course, a TV presenter. A very successful TV presenter. It was and remains to this day.

Many have seen the reality show America's Next Top Model. It was this television show that made model Tyra Banks a famous TV presenter. The idea of ​​the show was completely invented by her and very successfully implemented. Then the project "America's Next Top Model" began a completely independent life, namely, its most diverse variants appeared outside America. For example, the show "Top Model in Russian" appeared in Russia, the presenter of the first seasons of which, for no reason at all, became Ksenia Sobchak - and not a model, and not a beauty, let's hope that at least she is clever.

One way or another, the beauty of the reality show "America's Next Top Model" was precisely in the fact that the host of this show was a model and not just a model, but a very professional and successful model - Tyra Banks.

Tyra never created unnecessary noise and scandals with camera flashes around herself, it is not surprising that many have not heard of her as a well-known model, unlike Naomi Campbell, a lover not only to scandal, but also to start something, for example , cell phones, or slap in the face, in those or those who are certainly not a star or celebrity, for example, a maid. Nothing to say - very worthy behavior! A star, she is such - a star ...

And Naomi Campbell, we "touched" here is completely no coincidence. After all, and Naomi Campbell, and Tyra Banks are black models, very successful black models, who have achieved success, including in Europe, which, you see, is still a rarity.

Naomi Campbell is older than Tyra, but at one time she could well damage the career of her budding rival. It was at the behest of the "black panther" 19-year-old Tyra Banks was "removed" from the runways of Chanel shows. However, many years later, this "little misunderstanding", which then upset Tyra, did not prevent her from inviting Naomi Campbell to her show.

However, youth always takes its toll. Tyra Banks conquered Paris. And then the rest of the world.

It was Tyra Banks who became the first black model to appear on the covers of CQ magazines and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She also became the first African-American woman who managed to appear for the advertising catalog of the famous Victoria's Secret brand.

What brought Tyra to Paris and then to success? Her desire to become a model and a mother who supported her daughter literally in everything, later becoming her manager.

Tyra Banks was born on December 4, 1973 - Sagittarius. Remember the heroine of the famous novel by Anna and Serge Golon. Yes, that same Angelica with her strong character and ability to always achieve the set goal - this is the true archer.

Tyra's father, Donald Banks, was a computer consultant, and his mother, Caroline Banks, was then a photographer. When Tyra was 6 years old, her parents divorced, and she stayed with her mother, but this did not prevent her from maintaining friendly relations with her father.

Tyra graduated from school in 1991 and was admitted to the University of Southern California, but for the sake of a career as a model, she never continued her studies. For our girls, education is always in the first place. Even for girls who caught their luck by the tail, who won at international beauty contests, for those who need to give up everything and make a career here and now, as long as they remember you, education is so important that they return to receive it without putting it off. and in the end are left with nothing.The world of fashion is cruel (like the world as a whole) - having caught luck by the tail, you should not wait for the moment when both luck and everyone else will forget about you, because then everything will have to start from scratch, and very few people succeed. In America, in this regard, everything is initially simpler. Education is not a wolf, it will not run away into the forest. And here is luck, a moment of luck, it is so easy to lose it!

Tyra goes to Paris, she is 17 years old, 25 designers immediately invite her to participate in their shows. This is a success!

For the first time, Tyra Banks tried herself as a model at the age of 15. Her photo appeared on the cover of Seventeen Magazine.

We have already mentioned Tyra Banks, the TV presenter. However, not only "Top Model", another very interesting Tyra Banks show, perhaps even more interesting and certainly more significant in contrast to the show "America's Next Top Model", was the reality show True Beauty ("Beauty Inside Out "). The show started in 2009 and hosted by Tyra Banks and Ashton Kutcher. The reality show very clearly demonstrated how ugly beautiful people can sometimes be. “The most beautiful man in America”, the winner of the show, was the participant of this program who, in various tense situations created by the organizers of the show, showed himself to be a truly beautiful person, but not externally, but internally.

Tyra Banks also tried herself as a writer. However, this is not a secret, many models write, and the stars do too. Models love not only to see themselves on the covers of magazines, but also to read books about themselves. And if no one writes, then you can write about yourself. Share your rich life experience and inner world. But Tyra remained true to herself even here, Tyra Banks' book entitled "Tyra's Beauty, Inside and Out", published in 1988, did not become just a story of Tyra the model about herself, no, this book had a definite goal - to help women feel their natural beauty.

As a model, Tyra Banks has always followed several of her principles - not to be naked, not to be filmed with cigarettes and alcohol. By the way, information has appeared in the press more than once that Taira herself does not drink alcohol at all.

In 2006, Tyra Banks announced that she was going to leave the modeling business forever and engage exclusively in her television projects, but in 2010 she re-signed a contract with the modeling agency IMG Models.

Following the trends of the early 21st century, Tyra Banks, like many other public figures, maintains her own Twitter account, with the help of which her fans can find out the latest events in the life of the charming black model Tyra Banks. Or is it a successful TV presenter?
