Is Tyra Banks Losing Weight Again?

December 12th, 2007 by Rian | Filed under Celebrity Weight Loss, Tyra Banks.

Tyra Banks is looking pretty great these days, in my opinion! She appeared at the “CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute at the American Museum of Natural History in NYC” event late last week looking as though she may have lost a few pounds.

I mean, granted, her lower body is mostly covered in the dress, but her arms and overall figure look a little smaller.

What do you all think?

    I hope not, then we’ll have to hear stories of how she overcame being almost overweight.

  2. WannaBeThin | 12/12/07

    Idk, she might have lost a few pounds. But no matter what weight she is in, she always looks great!

  3. Amanda | 12/12/07

    She still looks rather plump to me…as always. I can’t stand her no matter what size she is!

  4. Jennifer | 12/12/07

    She looks great but I just don’t like her. Too self absorbed for me. That dress, it reminds me of a trash bag.

  5. Edan | 12/12/07

    I think she actually looks pretty great here, which is remarkable, considering I normally think she looks like a man who likes make up. A lot.

  6. georgie | 12/12/07

    wow, she seriously lost some weight there! if you can look that good in a tight shiny dress then you’re fine.

  7. schuk | 12/12/07

    yep, she lost weight, but her outfit is horrible….

  8. Melissa | 12/12/07

    Yea she lost, she looks beautiful!

  9. Jodi | 12/12/07

    She actually looks quite good here, which I can’t believe I’m saying, given that ordinarily she excites me about as much as a can of sauerkraut unearthed from a bomb shelter circa 1952.

  10. suzan | 12/12/07

    I dont understand her. She was so proud to be a bit fatter and now is going down. I bet there will be a show for this. Making a big deal about everything!

  11. Germangirl | 12/12/07

    OMG this dress is doing miracles on her… ok she probably lost some weight, but compared to the last pics we saw on this website she looks to have dropped 30pounds and thats not very realistic, so I guess the dress is hiding quite some weight which is totally ok because she looks so pretty in these pictures!

  12. breads | 12/12/07

    hey jodi think of all the collectors who would be clamouring for that genuiwine 50’s tin tarnished by war mud and all, pretty if you ask me%)
    i don’t think she is losing wieght, she just isnt showcasing her thighs by wrapping them in tight fitting jeans so we can admire just how big they are nor is she in drag
    at last a stunning woman like tyra (because i do think she looks great at any wieght) learns less make-up looks great, now lets get hold of jessica simpson and force her to learn too
    she will one day find the light

  13. sunny | 12/12/07

    Tyra looks beautiful. She seems to be at a healthy weight . Anyways I think she has a nice hourglass shape and when you have a good shape you don’t have to be skinny to look great.

  14. poops | 12/12/07

    I lothe this attention monger with every fibre of my being.

    She could be 600lbs or 90lbs and I still wouldn’t offer her a sip of water if she’d been stranded in the Sahara for a week.

  15. poops | 12/12/07

    Let’s make that ‘loathe’, shall we?

  16. katie | 12/12/07

    on tyra’s show– she had a guest: mandy moore. she asked mandy what sizes she goes between and she responded with 6-8. first of all, i dont necessarily believe that. i’ve seen mandy in person and she was much hippier than that. i go between a 4-6 and she couldnt have been just near my own size.

    tyra of course followed with… well i go between an 8-10… and i dont necessarily see that either. do you think they just gave that lower number in the range to make themselves seem smaller than they actually are?? because i can see mandy being an 8 and i can see tyra being a 10, but not a 6 and an 8….

  17. Pink Cashmere | 12/12/07

    When Tyra’s made up well w/ the right wig, she looks great.
    She looks to have lost about 5 pounds or so.
    Though she tries to hise it, her upper arms will always be a little pudgy b/c she has short arms compared to the rest of her body. (Hence the constant hand on hip pose)

  18. breads | 12/12/07

    people do look bigger on tv and magasines than they do in real life, thats why high end models look skeletal in real life but great in a magasine
    perspective katie is all important

  19. breads | 12/12/07

    ps in my 1st post i meant to say pretty exciting, and yes i miss spelt genuine (i was thinking of the musician)

  20. SupermodelSuzie | 12/12/07

    I am SO SO SO sick of this woman! She’s anoying!

  21. delizas | 12/12/07

    Why does everyone say that “they are so sick of her/ ugh annoyes the heck out of me”, why? You all drool over other supermodels why put Tyra down? She was great at what she did and now she is helping other people model. What’s so annoying about that?

  22. Ana Brynn | 12/12/07

    She seems a tad bottom heavy (big hips and thighs), but she does look really pretty here.

  23. Lovinglife | 12/12/07

    looks like she was once a model again, for awhile she was really looking rough.

  24. ph3nix | 12/12/07

    no weight loss…she’s just dressing better for her figure. draping yourself in black has a slimming effect. granted, she still looks great from the neck up.

  25. Slugs | 12/12/07

    I think she looks fantastic in these pics! Definitely lost weight. I’m glad to see her looking trimmer. This looks like a good weight for her.

  26. andrea | 12/12/07

    Why is she wearing a Hefty bag?
    I do not watch her talk show, because I find her incredibly annoying. I DO, however, watch America’s Next Top Model. I have to. I feel bad about it, but I do it anyway.
    I think her body is okay. I don’t like her face. She looks like a drag queen. And she acts like…. a drag queen!

  27. Claire | 12/12/07

    She looks gorgeous! And I love her character, too :-) ) So plus or minus couple of pounds, I do not really care. I love her!

  28. Emma | 12/12/07

    I agree, in this pictures she looks great! But I don’t think she has to be model-skinny again. She looks good right now :)

  29. daphne | 12/12/07

    tyra carries her weight on the bottom half of her body and this dress emphasis her upper body. she is the same size.

  30. daphne | 12/12/07

    lets not forget she wears spanx.

  31. Vishaal | 12/12/07

    Whooooaaa…watch the nip slip girl!

    She looks FANTASTIC.

  32. Jessica | 12/12/07

    TYRA LOOKS SO FANTASTIC THERE.. BEAUTIFUL!

  33. Hannah | 12/12/07

    So what, everyone in Hollyweird wears spanx, wigs and etc. I think she has lost a few pounds, but hard to tell being her bottom is covered. I think she knows what styles work best for her body type and that’s what keeps her looking great! Go Tyra and forget the Hateration!

  34. ValerieSara | 12/12/07

    The gown is covering alot, but her generous thighs are still quite noticable, especially in the second photo.
    I don’t have a problem with her figure; it is what it is: very womanly and sexy.

  35. Wow... | 12/12/07

    She looks beautiful here but she is soooo annoying. Her show is all about her- she just likes to hear herself talk. Her hair looks much better without those nasty bangs she always wears on her show.

  36. lola | 12/12/07

    I used to be a big fan of Tyra but now I can’t stand her.

    Anyway yeah she might of lost some weight, good for her I guess.

  37. RainbowSprite | 12/12/07

    She’s still bigger than most working models, but i don’t think she’s big enough to carry off the whole “beautiful at any size” of whatever schtick she was promoting, because she does look like she’s lost weight and unlike say your nan who loses weight when she has flu and then puts it back on, she’s all dressed up to show it.

    Whatever, she’s so blah, I prefer Kate Moss who does crazy shit but doesn’t get on her soapbox about it, and just carries on being a model, and sod the rest…

  38. Miss M | 12/12/07

    Who cares what size Tyra (or anyone else) is, she looks fantastic!

  39. michelle c | 12/12/07

    She looks amazing.

  40. Laurie | 12/12/07

    SPANX.

  41. Sarah | 12/12/07

    In the second picture her left boob is aaaaaalmost out, but it’s been put back in place in the third picture….

  42. #1 | 12/12/07

    The harsh criticism that women’s bodies receive is disheartening. We pick apart our bodies like we are worthless if they are not perfect. There is a difference among giving an honest opinion and even constructive criticism and totally destroying someone’s self-worth by attaching it soley to the basis of their appearance. We are more than our bodies.

  43. Ellie | 12/12/07

    I used to like Tyra in her “so what” days on the Tyra show, but since I have changed my mind and consider her a huge hypocrite. It is obvious that she yoyo’s with her weight. If she were really that satisfied and didn’t give a crap what others thought about her body then she wouldn’t go up and down so much. She does look to have lost weight, and that’s all fine and well for your health, but she was not overweight to begin with, therefore it must be a vanity thing. On ANTM she’ll choose a couple of “plus size” models, and regardless of their gorgeous photographs or their beautiful full figures, they never win or even come close to winning. She just throws them in there to satisfy others. Look at the last chick that won. Walking skeleton or what? She claims to be so against the whole super skinny thing, yet she endorses it when she has a say in who wins ANTM, and even loses weight to look good on tv and magazines. She expects people to look up to her, but I say look up to people like Kate Winslet, Scarlett Johansson, and Catherine Zeta Jones. The ones that haven’t starved themselves and gave into the super skinny “trend”. Regardless, Tyra does look good, although she’s obviously a hypocrite at its finest.

  44. Violet | 12/12/07

    Don’t normally like the woman - just something about her that makes you want to punch the TV…BUT, she looks fantastic here. Wahwahwoo!

  45. Ana | 12/12/07

    wow! she looks great exept her hair… XP

  46. Ana | 12/12/07

    @Ellie: just because you’re fat and can not lose weight you don’t have to critize other’s who can do it!!!
    skinny people are so much more beautiful and I hope for you, you get it and try to lose some weight!!!!!!

  47. Angie | 12/12/07

    yeah, I don’t like Tyra Banks either. I used to think she was wholesome and real, but I think the success has gotten to her head, she seems bitchy and fake now.

    Rian, would you be able to make a post on Jessica Alba’s pregnancy with some recent pics(if there are any). Thankss! :)

  48. andrea | 12/12/07

    woah, Ana, that was totally uncalled for and really makes you sound like an idiot. I think your brain is malnourished. Feed it- at least that will occupy your mouth for a little while.

  49. breads | 12/12/07

    i don’t get this
    women fluctuate in wieght t
    i am usually a uk8 in summer because i like exercising when its hot, there is also alot more fruit and veg available, i also i usually dont like eating stodgy food when its hot
    while in winter i can be a uk12 (after christmass period), i like to indulge myself and i know it will come off by januaury,, inbetween all that i am a uk10
    so why cant tyra fluctuate too, why do people expect so much from famous people, they are humans, at least she isn’t pathetic like nicole richie or paris hilton and has a job that involves a little more than being fabulous (in their opinion anyway)
    grrr leave tyra alone

  50. Oksana | 12/12/07

    i like the dress but it is too small for her still

  51. Taylor | 12/12/07

    I don’t think she lost much if any. Her arms are still really big, and she looks like she tried to use the dress as a tactic to give the illusion that she is thinner, when in reality she’s the same chunky Self-absorbed Tyra.

  52. AD | 12/12/07

    She looks JUST like Beyonce here

  53. midnight | 12/12/07

    I think she looks pretty good here, but her chirpy-cheery-hypocritical TV persona has really started to get on my nerves. and ANTM has just turned into a joke. how many seasons has it been now? arguably some of the past contestants are doing OK, but nobody, most notably any of the winners, has ever proceeded to have a great career in modelling, so obviously there’s something lacking in the “expertise” department.

  54. maeee | 12/12/07

    i can’t stand this fake, ugly drag queen

  55. Jeez | 12/12/07

    Am I the only one who likes the dress?
    I think she looks thinner.

  56. Bella E | 12/12/07

    i second the jessica alba pregnancy post!!

  57. kamilia | 12/12/07

    I CANT BELIEVE THAT JESSICA ALBA IS PREGNANT!!!!!! HOLY SHIT

  58. lamarta | 12/12/07

    she looks like beyoncé!

  59. MANDOLIN | 12/12/07

    I can’t stand her–she so self centered and you could project movies off that forehead of hers!

  60. mandolin_rb | 12/12/07

    This woman is the biggest fake and I swear you could project movies on her forehead!!!

  61. mandolin_rb | 12/12/07

    OMG–I am so sorry for the broken record–the site wouldn’t put my comments up! Sorry Ladies!

  62. mandolin_rb | 12/12/07

    Sorry for the broken record–I couldn’t get my comments to show up! Sorry Ladies!

  63. GossipGirl | 12/12/07

    i lovelovelove tyra!! :)
    btw, who won cycle 9? anyone?

  64. llollipop0 | 12/12/07

    not really no

  65. ValerieSara | 12/12/07

    Yikes, Ana; be nice. Ellie was just stating her opinion!

  66. amma | 12/12/07

    I think Tyra is beautiful whether she is heavier or thinner. I prefer her thinner though. Some recent pics of her have shown her to be *really* out of shape. She looks GREAT here. The dress covers a multitude of sins but even so, that is what good fashion is for–accentuate the positive!

  67. gunther | 12/12/07

    Tyra would make an amazing bbw!

  68. emogurl | 12/12/07

    God you’re a twat Ana. If you had actually read her comment then maybe you would have thought twice before posting that drivel.

  69. jed | 12/12/07

    If you look at that picture “Tyra Banks weighs 170 pounds” about a year ago—even for a tall model—she had not become curvy—she had let herself get fat.

    Now she looks great—-I hear that a lot—-”I enjoy being curvy” then they lose some weight, and you do not hear them bragging about their curves. Not model thin—a really healthy looking woman.

  70. Susan | 12/12/07

    I’m not a fan of her personality…like some have said, she seems fake. However, I think she’s stunning and looks great whether she’s thin or with some weight on.

  71. Karma | 12/12/07

    I must be the only one who doesn’t see the picture.

  72. Bruna | 12/12/07

    WHAT? JESSICA ALBA PREGNENT??
    LOL
    PLEASE, SOMEONE EXPLAIN…. =D

    Looks like Tyra had some “work” done…

  73. BurtonFanatic | 12/12/07

    Can you post Jessica Alba pregnancy pics please?!?

  74. looker mike | 12/12/07

    she hasnt lost weight, if she has its prob 5 lbs. if shes lucky
    look at those fat huge arms, that is so nasty

  75. jed | 12/12/07

    Fat arms? They look perfect. Not as strong, maybe as Maria Sharapova’s, (she would really gross you out, too), but perfectly proportioned.

  76. stacy | 12/12/07

    looker mike,
    I trully hope you are kidding! If you really think her arms are fat, you are a problem to society. Trya looks great and people like you that give young girls the wrong idea of what is healthy. as for the person who called her a drag queen, it is such a waste of breath to put someone down in such a way that you did. Although names should not hurt a person, they often do, you should think before being so rude to another person.

  77. Rosanna | 12/12/07

    I can’t believe what I’m about to say, considering that I don’t like her HOWEVER she looks great this way! That is what curvy means, rounded hips and boobs WITHOUT belly :)

  78. Kayleigh | 12/12/07

    Yeah, I think she for sure looks to have lost a bit of weight. You can see it in her arms, chest, and face.

  79. Fiona | 12/12/07

    I saw her a few months ago walking in New York and she is a goddess!!! tall, slim and muscular, not fall at all and if you ask me she is more to the thin side than to the fat.

  80. lauraaaaaaa | 12/12/07

    gorgeous

  81. cassy_b | 12/12/07

    She does look slimmer.

    I can’t decide if I Iove or loathe this woman. She seems to genuinely care about helping young girls and such..GOOD. She’s not on coke and running around without underwear on…GOOD. But she’s so overbearing and manic. And on ANTM she has this annoying habit of accentuating every word as if to add ‘personality’ and I find it annoying as all hell.

    Hrm..rant over.

  82. healthy girl | 12/12/07

    i love her dress,the hair,and i want to steal that jewelry!
    her body looks great!

  83. kendra | 13/12/07

    can you blame her for losin weight??? Afterall, Janice Dickinson’s “fat” comments are hardly going to get her reaching for the cakes is it

  84. Ellie | 13/12/07

    Oh Ana, nothing you can say or do will make me feel bad about myself. Skinny people are no more beautiful than heavier people. It’s not always about the outside.

    Oh and FYI, i’m not fat, never have been, and if I were, I would flaunt the womanly body I would have. Not to mention the fact that calling people fat can cause serious damage to someone if they already have body issues. You may want to re-evaluate YOURSELF. Thankfully, I don’t.

  85. Renee | 13/12/07

    tyra is soo gorgeous. she fluctuates in weight a lot but she is always healthy, and i admire that about her. I love tyra!

  86. looker mike | 13/12/07

    jed and stacy, you’ve got to be kidding! if she were to put those guns down to her side, flat against her torso, they would look so f’n fat. she def has a beautiful face, i’ll give you that, but her body is blown out . its fine if she wants to let it all hang out, great, she was thin when she needed to be and made millions, so she did something right.
    but she still has fat arms, legs and butt…

  87. Elaine | 13/12/07

    Face looks thinner and she has spanx on.

  88. Sandy | 14/12/07

    Wow, she looks rather amazing. I think she lost some weight there! As a hardcore of Tyra, I admire her so much. Being the world’s most accomplished African-American model, I think she has such a stunning body and shining smile. Recently I found one of her movies– Life-Size at dealstudio.com. It seems that she did a good job in this Disney made-for-television movie. And she looks so nice just like now. As a big fan of her, I hope that she would keep a healthy weight and give us more fantastic movies. Love her!

  89. Pak31 | 14/12/07

    I find her ugly. I think she’s had a nose job and/or other plastic surgery cause her face looks different than when she was younger. She looks like a transvestite to me. Too much make up too.

  90. sarahj | 15/12/07

    She looks great! She is definitely not at her model thin days but she’s lost some weight. The dress is horrid, but she is stunning… she can wear a garbage bag and still look great.

    If anything ,her genetics are going to determine how she’ll naturally gain weight as she ages. Her mother is a big woman, and Tyra looks like her, so she’ll most likely get to that size. Tyra has admitted that while she was modelling, she fought to keep her body but decided that she couldn’t and didn’t want to stick to that type of maintenance. Thus, she decided to move on to other things where she can let herself go — she’s paid her dues in the modelling world - she’s using her brain and mind now instead of her body, which is a natural progression in life… Just my opinion…

    Anyhow! Not to digress, she looks great - she is a grown woman.

  92. rb | 16/12/07

    best pics i have seen of her in a long while.
    she is def on a diet.

  93. Jill | 16/12/07

    KATIE POSTED”on tyra’s show– she had a guest: mandy moore. she asked mandy what sizes she goes between and she responded with 6-8. first of all, i dont necessarily believe that. i’ve seen mandy in person and she was much hippier than that. i go between a 4-6 and she couldnt have been just near my own size.

    I watched the same episode with my sis and we burst out laughing……both of them were lying through there teeth
    Mandy more is def not a six…more like 8 but realistically a 10 and Tyra is more like a 10 but realistically a 12

  94. Candace | 16/12/07

    She looks like Beyonce or should I say Beyonce looks like her. What do they really look like without all of the makeup and fake hair? Can these women ever look natural?

  95. Sevilay | 1/01/08

    I Love tyra & thinks she looks beautifull no matter what her figure is i mean come on giver her a break, she’s had to wach her weight during her modelling her days as a victoria secret model let her pig out a lil!

  96. shiningshroom | 5/01/08

    Tyra will ALWAYS look good. Admitedly, she looked better in the Victoria’s Secret days but still lookin’ fine now.

  97. Betterthanyou | 13/01/08

    So what if she is wearing spanx, so does Katie Holmes, Jessica Alba and other celebs that are thin! She looks nice you must admit that even if you do not lke her…jus b/c she is not a skeleton you ppl want to hate on her…she looks very nice, shapely, slim and really its the best she has looked in a while.

    She does sort of resemble Beyonce

  98. Betterthanyou | 13/01/08

    And another thing, it does not really look like she lost a lot of weight–the dress she is wearing suits her figure and this shows. Dont act like she is the only person who wears clothes that make them look slimmer all ppl in entertainment do that unless they arent fashion forward or have a decent stylist!

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

    free movies at abcmovie.wordpress.com
