Ya’ll sum Haters! why cant she just do her without peoples always judgin her! whether she thin or fat she is still beautiful. i think a lot of yall are hatin because yall wish yall could be as beautiful as she is…
No, they do NOT always have to be mixed in order to have different color eyes besides brown. Are you guys geneologists or something?? :smh: I know several black people with colored eyes.. u don’t necessarily have to be “mixed”. And the reason most “mixed” people side more with black is because most of the time they look more black than white aka their skin is darker or *an olive color*, their hair still very thick and curly/wavy… and yeah, way to go bigots.
Tyra is really hot but looks soooo uncomfortable in the new shot. She should have gone to the gym and gotten into shape before doing the new shoot. I realize she was the first African-American to be on the cover of SI Swimsuit Edition but who celebrates themselves? Insecure much? And no one has commented on the difference in perspectives in the two shoots — much further away from the camera in the new shot. Which probably means she is quite a bit larger now, so the picture is misleading. If you can’t do something authentically, don’t do it at all.
i think you all are some hataz the swim suit hair background is not suppose to be exactly the same as it was 10 years ago but close ass possible i think she still looks gorgeous she is just curvier than she was in the other pic 10 years ago she dosent have to be stick thin to be gorgeous ppl just mad cause she in her 30’s and look better than half these broads in their 20’s
Ok, tyra looks beatful, for all of u who dont belive that her body actully looks like that ive seen her llive. yes live, and let me break it to u all her body is just wow, so for everyone whos dissing her calling her fat and trying to hide their insecruites by finding flaws in other peoples as tyra would say kiss my fat ass.
Tyra is awesome and a true role model unlike every one else birtney is emo, angelina is great but a marrige ruiner, jessica alba is so mean to her fans, i mean tyra is a great role model and is true to what she says.
WOW! Tyra Banks. Your are STILL hot! Of course ALL magazine covers are airbrushed but in your case it’s not done as much as everyone is saying on here! YOUR HAIR COLOUR + EYE COLOUR + WHOLE LOOK ON THIS COVER AND IN GENERAL IS JUST TOO HOT! NO1 WILL WORK THE RUNWAY LIKE I’VE SEEN U DO. YOU LOOK HOT ON THE COVER n CAN’T WAIT TO BUY IT!!!!!! PEACE
WOW TYRA what happened to you, you used to be my idol but now your just tyra….. instead of a what 5 year gap between photo shoots its looks like fifteen years later she looks OKAY to say the least but the original picture looks brighter and more of a glossy skin than a newer dull picture….i believe the originaL PIC SHOLD HAVE STAYED THE ORIGNAL!! NO HARD FEELINGS TYRA♥
i realli dont care if ppl think shes fat
either way she is very beautiful black woman
and i realli dont care why would she have 2 prove herslef 2 you ppl
not everyone is skinny and not everyone is fat. tyra 2 me looks very healthy. and people shouldnt be making fun of people that are overweight and stuff beacuzz in a spilt second that could be you.
so you go trya your beautiful inside and out
dont let these roude words hurt you the only reason why people are saying it is becuzs they know it will hurt you and that you were a model
so whatever they say doesnt even matter
like you said they can kiss my fat ass
dont let it break you
tamika
wow you guys are lameee.
tyra banks blows all of you away airbrushed or not! get over it!
when you even get on the cover of a mag. then you can talk yalls talk, but until then…shut your faces! damn.
Well, I don’t think she’s fat on this pic. Not even on the right one, but what it makes it so scary is that her face looks like a vampire, anyway, that’s how it looks in my eyes. The body on the left looks very fake, but I like the hair
Tyra naturally has a beautifull skint.
I happen to think that she look radiant in both pictures.
As some of us know the body does change after ten years. He chest isn’t going to be high and perky. They are going to head south. That natural. She hasn’t changed that. Which I admire her for. Yeah she gained some weight here and there. Again that natural. Not everyone in the world is going to be skinny for the rest of his or her life.
As far as the color of the picture. Think back ten years ago how were the camera’s back then. Now fast forward ten years. What are the camera’s like today. Right!. The swim suit she has on. As far as we know from what Tyra has said on her show it is the same bikini just with added material.
About he airbrush. Every magazine you look at there person on it is airbrushed. Whether thet are black or white. They are airbrushed.
Put it this no matter how you look at Tyra she is still a beautiful woman.
#18 & #23
I am black(light-skin)with light-brown eyes. My brother is darker than Tyrese(Singer/Actor)he also have light-brown eyes.
I think Tyra looks great, work or no work done. People complain because they want thicker models, and some people in this blog are judging her looks because she’s thicker. Come on! real woman are curvy and sexy. Because of comments like these, many young girls think they are fat when they are not.
Tyra is not fat in the second picture. How can people say that? Yeah she is bigger, but nowhere close to fat. She looks gorgeous in both pictures, but better in the first. That doesnt look like the same bikin either, but that may be becasue they adjusted it.
Still looking fab Tyra, even 10 years later.
They could have at least given her stomach some shades.. now it looks fake and unnaturally plane and flat.. lika a board… give her at least some muscle dammit if they’re gonna manipulate it so much..
I enjoy Tyra Banks’ breasts so much!
if you ask me tyra banks is nothing but a advanced ape looking n????? who needs to go back to the chicken and water melone eating ape place called africa but before she do I thnk she deserves a make over with my white goo in her face that’ll wake her n?????? a??? up to reality america belongs to whites only white power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111
oh it definetly lookks airbrushed!!!the first one looks realer than the other.i mean like the belly button in the 2nd one looks dark and its not meant to
All ive gots 2 say iz dat Tyra looks FABULOUS……Tha swim suit iz not even da same….ppl below stop hattin ya wish u guyz can look nearly as gud as her!!!!!!!!!!…..so every 1 get a life iight
DUECEZ!!!!!!
Ok so tyra’s gained a little weight…she still looks amazing!
she’s not a saint! she still may feel a *little* self consience of her body weight.. so what?! pretty much everyone feels a bit self consience of their body weight at some time!!
& who flippin cares if it’s not the same bikini?!
LOL at the people who say only the second one was airbrushed. You must think SI only air brushes some and not others. We are talking about models here, some who have gotten so thin you could see ribs but yes, Tyra’s 2007 remake must be the only one air brushed because it bucks societies ideas of beauty. If you going to take apart the air brushing in one you have to do it for the other, or you can just examine it for what it is, and see she is beautiful in both.
Outside of the hair, Tyra actually looks pretty good in both pics. All pics are airbrushed before publication, no matter who it is…Tyra, Giselle, Cindy, Naomi, Beyonce, Jessica…everyone!! No one can think that there are this many perfect people running around.
As for her eye color…hazel is Tyra’s natural eye color. Both of her parents are African American. If you see childhood pics of her, her hair is a med-dark brown and her eyes are hazel!!
It is very possible for African American’s to have green, grey, hazel, and even blue eyes naturally based upon genetics. My paternal Grandfather is dark complected with blue eyes, my sister is light complected with hazel eyes. My other sister is dark complected with natural sandy brown hair. Again, genetics….obviously, somewhere in the bloodline there is someone with either of these eye colors. F.Y.I. -I think it’s safe to say that there are no 100% African Americans in the US.
I’m not sure how race plays a part in a discussion about a bathing suit!?!
