40 Terrific Tyra Banks Innovations

From Political Fashion Icons to Transgender Contestants

— October 23, 2011 — Pop Culture
These terrific Tyra Banks innovations are sure to inspire any fashionista in a number of fields.

Tyra Banks has worked for high-end fashion labels such as Anna Sui, CoverGirl, Bill Blass, Chanel, Victoria’s Secret and Yves Saint Laurent, as well as appeared on the covers of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Cosmopolitan and Elle. In fact, Banks was the first African-American model to appear on the covers of GQ and Sports Illustrated.

The former model, talk show host, author, entrepreneur and actress is a true force to be reckoned with in not only the fashion world, but the entertainment industry as a whole. The 37-year-old superstar has been modeling since she was 11, and has faced several ups and downs, much of that due to her weight.

Since then, Tyra Banks has spoken out extensively about body image and how the issue affects young girls. Check out this list of terrific Tyra Banks innovations to see just how influential the former model is.
