Is Tyra Banks Gaining Weight Again?

November 5th, 2007 by Rian | Filed under Celebrity Weight Gain, Tyra Banks.

Is it my imagination, or is Tyra Banks packing on the pounds once again…?

As we’ve seen in the past, she tends to gain most of her weight in her lower body. That said, her lower body seems to look a bit more robust then it did a couple of months ago

    first?

  2. Lydia | 5/11/07

    She didnt gain. she’s just wearing spandex.

  3. carmen | 5/11/07

    who actually looks good in spandex though?

  4. emily | 5/11/07

    thunder thighs.

  5. Nikkicicles | 5/11/07

    Can’t see that much of a difference.

  6. Bekah | 5/11/07

    I think she is annoying, but she is very beautiful. However, her least attractive physical feature is her legs. If I had her legs, I would not wear that.

  7. handbagfiend | 5/11/07

    no no NO, that is just so wrong.

  8. AAAAAAA | 5/11/07

    I don’t think she has gained….just the tights.

  9. chip | 5/11/07

    Why is she wearing that outfit-spandex does NOT count as pants. IMO, she looks about the same.

  10. Elle | 5/11/07

    Tyra is gorgeous! I don’t think she has gained, and even if she has, it’s all sitting in the right bits. In other news, spandex is the devil’s fabric, even BLACK spandex, yesiree - ’nuff said.
    As an aside, she has two bags..why is she carrying two bags? No matter, I like the red sling one. :) :)

  11. babyboy | 5/11/07

    She has the weirdest body - huge thighs and tiny calves and ankles, and her legs are like X. She is definetely not small, as I’m watching those ANTM series day after day she looks fuller, and quite big compared to girls who compete. I just think she started eating normal after she ended her career and that shows on her body (clearly she isn’t a petite girl with fast metabolism).

  12. mandolin | 5/11/07

    It’s might just be those wacko spandex pants–those things would make anyone look big!

  13. Rachel | 5/11/07

    How can she possibly think those clothes look good on her? :|
    Yeah, I think she’s gained a bit…

  14. BritneySpears | 5/11/07

    1. Spandex does nothing positive for her body
    2.She’s very bottom heavy!

  15. Maxx05 | 5/11/07

    I hope she just came from working out, because she should know better than to wear that outfit otherwise. Thighs that look like that should not be caught in spandex outside of the gym. She does look like she’s gained some pounds. Time to step up the exercise plan, Tyra!

  16. michelle c | 5/11/07

    I dont think she has gained, this outfit would make anyone look like they had gained weight

  17. rigzy | 5/11/07

    worst legs ever.

    Huge thighs and skinny chicken calves. ew.

  18. tim jones | 5/11/07

    Hot

  19. GossipGirl | 5/11/07

    i ♥ Tyra..
    i think shes aloud to be a bit on the big side considering
    she used to be sucha fabulous model and suffered enough with the skinny bod back in the day.. so lay off, id love to see
    any of your thighs in spandex. thank you,

  20. hello kitty | 5/11/07

    i dont like her at all…and her legs look really bad!

  21. wink84 | 5/11/07

    Girl’s got some booty!

  22. Lisa | 5/11/07

    She looks good, exactly the same to me. Spandex is not a good clothing choice.

  23. skinny minnie | 5/11/07

    anyone would look fat in that get-up!

  24. laura b | 5/11/07

    i think its just the bad clothes, looks the same size to me.

  25. Renee | 5/11/07

    who cares-. she’s gorgeous.

  26. leone | 5/11/07

    WHYYYY do people wear spandex as pants!? its not flattering on anyone!

  27. T | 5/11/07

    Just bad pants. Even size 0 gals shouldn’t be wearing that. Every other part of her outfit is fine.

  28. jed | 5/11/07

    If she lost ten pounds she might look better, or she might not. Didn’t she used to weigh about 30 pounds more than she does now? This looks like a woman taking really good care of herself, to me.

  29. Spectra | 5/11/07

    This season on her show she does look a little “fuller” than she did a little while ago, but not a lot. She’s pretty tall, so when she gains weight, it really spreads out. (BTW, I hate that tall people have to gain like 20 lbs before it even starts to show up….I gain 5 and you can instantly tell). I think those pants make her thighs look really big, but they’d make anyone’s thighs look big.

  30. miss tiffie | 5/11/07

    she’s just wearing a BAD outfit. in fact she looks thinner and thinner each week on the new antm.

  31. Lenore | 5/11/07

    I’ve seen much worse than that.

  32. lola | 5/11/07

    forget the weight, what is up with that outfit?

  33. skinny time | 5/11/07

    Its the outfit… Spandex tights don’t do anything for a girls figure. Other than in winter sports, I think they should be forbidden!

  34. Susan | 5/11/07

    I don’t like her personality, however, I do think she’s one of the most beautiful women.

  35. Elaine | 5/11/07

    Horrible from the waist down. She should hide those legs in looser clothing or long skirts.

  36. SOWHAT | 5/11/07

    gaining again? Does that mean she had lost ? I hadn’t noticed.

  37. xtinaD | 5/11/07

    Well she is trying to emulate Oprah…could be she’s thinking that people will be able to relate to her better if she’s more average looking.

  38. Charli | 5/11/07

    Her weight always goes up and down. Who cares …

  39. hannah | 5/11/07

    she looks fine.

    everyone would have big hips in those pants. gross.

    Except maybe Victoria Beckham. She has no hips.

  40. Asuka | 5/11/07

    Well… at least she’s wearing (supposedly) sliming black, right? Even so, she looks bigger than usual. She doesn’t deny that she loves her food either.

    But here is my problem with Tyra: she dresses all wrong for someone who made a career out of slipping in and out of designer outfits. Her model “competition” show always eliminates the plus size girl under the excuse that “they lost their confidence” mid-season. She keeps on telling people that weight doesn’t matter, while perpetuating and promoting lookisms and other chauvinistic values.

    Because of all that, I feel she’s fair game and invites scrutiny into her weight issues when she ’s such a hypocrite about it. Let’s not forget she magically slims down to almost the same size she was 10 years ago just for the futility of recreating a magazine cover she shot during her glory days. Then, she turns around and tells us to kiss her fat ass when she puts on the pounds. Can’t have your cake and eat it too, Tyra~

  41. nat | 5/11/07

    i think that when she make enough money, she decided to butcher her career by gaining forty pounds and gettings contracts with ABC and UPN for her stupid shows. i hate how she fucking always talks about eating disorders and picks the skinniest girls on ANTM. well, she picks them because theyre beautiful and even she cant deny it. I FUCKING HATE HER

  42. maggie | 5/11/07

    spandex is not pants but quite a lot of people wear it out.. i don’t quite understand why. tyra’s legs are never her assets… but i never really like her anyway. i don’t get what’s so beautiful about her apart from having huge boobs (which got examined by the doctor on her tyra show…)

  43. Jessica | 5/11/07

    She really is trying to embody oprah in every way

  44. angie | 5/11/07

    she looks good, she’s gained and lost weight here n there, no biggie…if she wanted to be thin again like her modeling days i think she would’ve done something about it w/all the money she has…i think she’s comfortable and confident w/herself now and thats all that matters, i saw a clip from her show today and she had a little bit of a belly and it actually made me feel good, shes no longer this skinny supermodel w/a perfect body that i love to hate *cough* gisele :P

  45. bleh | 5/11/07

    She looks great (and healthy), except for her skankily displayed cleavage.

  46. Sarah | 5/11/07

    I think she looks fine in the spandex, dosn’t look bad at all. In fact I think she pulls this off nicely.

  47. LC | 5/11/07

    I don’t care how much she weighs, but those spandex tights are a crime!!

  48. Natasha | 5/11/07

    How now brown cow!

  49. Jenna | 5/11/07

    She’s reallllly let herself go since the beginning of her career . Don’t know why she’s wearing leggings - there are countries smaller than those thunder thighs!!!

  50. Dalton | 5/11/07

    She needs to do some calf work. That untoned look is unbecoming. Large thighs aren’t a problem if the calves are also toned but this … wow.

  51. cassy_b | 5/11/07

    Rian..Im waiting for your reply to ‘emmie’s’ post. Im presuming she was talking about you..

  52. Fiona | 5/11/07

    Dalton - I couldn’t agree more. Her calves are too skinny for her thighs. No matter, she’s a pretty girl and has a good attitude, unlike Naomi :)

  53. Alinka | 5/11/07

    I do not know how Tyra had the audacity to say when she was modeling she ate as much as she does now and nothing else changed. IMPOSSIBLE. In addition, Tyra said on her interview with SHAPE magazine that she was ordered by a DOCTOR to run 3 miles at least 5 times a week… Ordered by a Doctor? Run 3 miles? Thats a diagnose for ppl with heart problems and high blood pressure. I am sorry 3 miles a day does not ‘cut it’ for me, but if she is actually doing that I dont see how u cant fluctuate your weight that much…

  54. Mary | 5/11/07

    That’s just the effect of those kinds of leggings.
    She looks great.

  55. Oksana | 5/11/07

    I look good in spandex if you are in a good shape you will look in spandex too.

  56. Emu | 5/11/07

    Ugh! She is so annoying ;->

  57. laurie | 6/11/07

    I think she looks comfortable, I just hope she isnt sweating. shes gorgeous.

  58. Israel | 6/11/07

    she is hot regardless

  59. chara | 6/11/07

    oh come on..! it’s like the f****** same is she chubby or skinny or what, because she’s always gorgeus!

  60. Frankie | 6/11/07

    clothes+camera=20 pounds added
    lol

  61. Rian | 6/11/07

    cassy_b, I will not be responding to emmie’s comment. If she wants to speak to me about the website, she is free to email me.

    Plus, if she really hated the site, you’d think she wouldn’t visit it so often. But no, I checked my IP logs and she is on here ALL THE TIME and has many times participated in comments.

    And if she doesn’t think getting over 90,000 regular daily visitors to a website is an accomplishment, well… oh well.

    ;-)

  62. tallenglishgirl | 6/11/07

    Monster thighs. Why would she show them off to the world like that???!!!

  63. Sacharomyces cerevisiae | 6/11/07

    she looks positively disgusting. Either her metabolism is screwed or she eats like crazy.

  64. Sacharomyces cerevisiae | 6/11/07

    Rian what was this comment about? I love when people talk sh*t and still come back for more. Masochism at its finest…

  65. saintdevil | 6/11/07

    Her legs are completely shapeless. Flabby thighs and stick thin calves.
    There are a lot “fatter” women around who look much better!

    And if she wore pants instead of spandex, she wouldn’t need two bags to hide behind.

  66. Claire | 6/11/07

    I don’t know how she carries that bag on her arm, it is heavy!

  67. Charli | 6/11/07

    Thunder THUNDERRR fattie thighs.

  68. alyssa | 6/11/07

    well Rian.. I love this website :-)

  69. tim jones | 6/11/07

    God help me when I see a woman with curvy or plump thighs in spandex

  70. soulkat | 6/11/07

    i totall agree with the previous poster, that spandex doesn’t look good on anyone! ….maybe my 3 year old daughter, but not a grown up. in any event, tyra looks like she has put on a few pounds, which she seems to do in between seasons of antm. i imagine that right now the current cycle on tv is complete,so she is home in nyc relaxing and eating. she’ll lose it again before the next cycle of antm. she always does.

  71. mia | 6/11/07

    usually i hate this woman but i actually think she looks quite sweet here, love the head scalf. and so what if she’s not a size zero at least she has loads of confidence and you can tell she is happy and feels good about herself. that is more important than size.

  72. Gloria | 6/11/07

    I think she looks fucking hot.

  73. Summer | 6/11/07

    I think the pants were a bad choice. But, momentary lapse in judgment aside, she’s a beautiful woman.

  74. Edan | 6/11/07

    As long as she continues to eschew the drag queen makeup and ridiculous weaves she used to be so partial too, I won’t fault her for spandex.
    FYI, Back in back, baby!

  75. poops | 6/11/07

    One thing’s for sure, a hundred bucks and a dollar menu couldn’t satisfy this one.

  76. jane | 6/11/07

    she looks great, its just that shiteous outfit

  77. Titi | 6/11/07

    I dont think she is fat at all, But those lycra tights are so awful, that not even a supermodel looks good with them, and even more if u add a short top, that its a crime.

    But talking about her i think she does look like the same

  78. random | 6/11/07

    she looks fine to me.

  79. Anon | 6/11/07

    she seems to gain weight in the thigh, stomach and butt area first, but then again, that doesn’t make her much different from a major percentage of the population.

  80. Christy | 6/11/07

    She looks fine; she picked some bad pants, leave her alone. She certainly is one confident woman wearing that outfit! Her confidence is something I really admire about her!

  81. Miss M | 6/11/07

    Wow, talk about bad choice! If a girl for ANTM showed up looking like Tyra in those pictures she would give her a good telling off.

  82. bla | 6/11/07

    i think she looks sexy!

  83. Mouse | 6/11/07

    Miss M, that’s hilarious and so true. Spandex?! They’d be crucified.

  84. mike | 6/11/07

    FAT ASS!!! THIS COCKY BITCH IS FAT

  85. LD | 6/11/07

    I have been watching the Tyra show lately and she does appear to have gained some weight then from the begining of the show
    in the stomach which this picture doesn’t show

  86. amanda | 6/11/07

    you should make a sarah michelle gellar post. if you look at the latest pic of her posted yesterday at perezhilton.com she’s skin & bones right now

  87. Hi5 Codes | 6/11/07

    She looks fine to me… jeeze… give her a break.

  88. SupermodelSuzie | 6/11/07

    Yup, she’s definately gained.

  89. Kelpie | 6/11/07

    AWFUL…

  90. #1 | 6/11/07

    I do not think she has gained weight. I do, however, think those pants are extremely ridiculous and not fashionable in the least. From the waist up and the ankle down she looks nice. Those pants are just so not cute.

  91. Persephone | 6/11/07

    I wonder who would win in a giant ego competition, Tyra Banks or Beyonce?

  92. kate | 6/11/07

    SHE IS ALWAYS GORGEOUS.
    and that is why i hate her.

  93. linda | 6/11/07

    do not pick on tyra! she’s my girl - we share the same size of thighs! :P I hate mine, but anyway! she’s my hope in the world. She’s great!

  94. kikki | 6/11/07

    she looks good.we dont come in same shapes and thats ok.shes bootylicius

  95. Q | 6/11/07

    I saw her show yesterday and she has definently gained. Even her stomach looks rounder. Lay off the biscuits Ty!

  96. cellulite eXpert | 6/11/07

    looks like she forgot to put a skirt on over those tights… awful.

  97. Claudia | 6/11/07

    Tyra Banks is a stunning woman! Why is she put in the media for putting on pounds? She should be praised! She is not like Nicole Richie, Angleina Jolie and others, who are stick thin and killing themselves! She is setting a good example for others and people shouldn’t be saying she is fat!!! x

  98. Alanna | 6/11/07

    i think she looks great- not fat at all . . .love the scarf and shirt. i dont think that tyra has thunder thighs either. i’d like to see half of you look that great at her age.

  99. emucorp | 6/11/07

    The bitch is fat!

  100. Christine | 7/11/07

    Is there a camel toe hiding behind the silver bag? Perhaps that is why she is carrying two bags.
    I just have to say it takes a brave woman to wear spandex in public.

  101. E.L. | 7/11/07

    I think she looks like she has looked for a while now, but i can’t wait, when the next season of ANTM is beeing screened in Estonia (because i live there), I really like the makeovers, someone always cries :P

  102. healthy girl | 7/11/07

    I saw her talk show the other day….and I thought that she looked GREAT!she has funny legs in thease pics….but as you all said anyone would in this getup…

  103. Violet | 7/11/07

    Over-rated clothes hanger…(fat one at that)

  104. katharine | 7/11/07

    The fat bitch needs to stop trying to tell other people what a good model looks like and hit the gym.

  105. so.petite | 8/11/07

    oooo
    she better stay away from the ben and jerrys.

    shes ganna be a chubster soon.

  106. Charli | 8/11/07

    Tyra is glamorising the whole overweight lifestyle thing.

  107. amma | 12/11/07

    She is beautiful. But that outfit is horrible. And honestly, I would not want to look like that. She looks to be bordering on overweight.

  108. lillies | 15/11/07

    Ahhhhh come on, Tyra Banks looks good for her age. she is setting a example for real people.

  109. kendra | 26/11/07

    she CLAIMS to weight 161lbs…

  110. looker | 26/11/07

    I’m am sick of seeing this fat woman on TV. its time for her to retire. im jealous of all the money she makes, yes, but i’m glad i dont look like her blobbyness. eewwww, yuk!!

  111. nanni | 29/11/07

    call me crazy but i think she looks great

  112. tyra | 3/12/07

    omg!!!!!!!!!!!!
    she looks AWFULLY FAT - that’s NOT feminine (poke) bleeeh…..
    Feminine is when you’re super thin in your waistline ( 24 is enough ) and pretty full at hips and breats … but that’s …. nor feminine neither healthy…
    people open your eyes! fat isn’t healthy , cellulite both and that doesn’t look pretty or sexy…i bet she would look muxh more overweight when she isn’t in black.

  113. tyra | 3/12/07

    and yet her legs look like sausages when she is in spandex or not in it….

  114. dieta | 6/12/07

    This girl must have been dieting like crazy back in her modeling days cause she really looks like she is NOT meant to be slim…
    And I am sure she must have said “I eat like a pig and don’t put on weight” back in the days when she was slim! *rolleyes*

  115. kimmy | 19/12/07

    gained (but not recently, shes been big for a while.) her legs r huge. but then they were never her best feature (wierd shape) and she was never the skinnest of the models…

  116. Jen | 11/01/08

    She has really weird legs…super skinny calves and large thighs…i hate her body!

  117. I very Like the movies and music is very good | 20/01/08
