Tyra Banks Shop

OK! magazine’s woman of the year, Tyra Banks, was shopping earlier this week in LA looking like an average broad:

“An average American woman is size 12 or 14. So if I look like a 10 or 12 in a picture and someone says I look disgusting, are they saying the majority of America is disgusting?”

For the record, Tyra isn’t built like the average American woman.

  • Bones Jordan

  • Kim

    Why is it that she never dresses up when she is out and about like Beyonce?

    I LOVE TYRA! SHE STAY TRUE TO HERSELF! I LOVE THE OUTFIT HERE! THIS IS SOMETHING I WOULD WEAR!

  • MiStYbLuE

    SHE DOES LOOK CUTE. WITH HER BIG BOBBLE HEAD ASS…

    @ KIM.. JUST BECAUSE SHE’S A CELEBRITY DOESNT MEAN SHE HAS TO COME OUT DRESSED IN GLAM MODE ALL THE TIME. I WEAR SUITS AND HEELS EVERYDAY WHILE WORKING. THATS MY WEEKEND LOOK TOO. ITS SOMETHING LIBERATING ABOUT WEARING TENNIS SHOES WHEN YOU WALKING AROUND ON STILTS ALL DAY!

  • jen

    Leave tyra alone! I am proud of her for not trying to starve herself to fit in to what soceity calls healthy. she has taken some time to enjoy what she wants to in life and if that means eating a couple of burgers and skipping the gym then good for her. She at least lets us feel like we don’t have to look like every other anorexic heffa on the tube.

  • FlyGemini

    I think she looks really cute and I think it’s weird that Beyonce never dresses casual like that. Is it really necessary to wear heels EVERYWHERE you go??

  • Sugarsweet

    I love Tyra she is Super Hot! I wish the media would stop giving her such a hard time.

  • Darth Paul

    You said it, Mary J. Shouldn’t she be worrying about her wigs more than her weight?

  • NuAgenda

    She looks cute!

  • Hoe Sit Down

    Tyra Banks is so damn annoying she errks my last nerves she left L.A cuz we saw right through her fake ass… Wasn’t nobody tryna sit in her audience and put up w/ all her fake-ness. She is a HAM…

    Why is it that she never dresses up when she is out and about like Beyonce?

    *****************************************************

    That is the thing I hate most about B. She is ultra fake. Throw on a pair of sneakers why don’t cha?!!?

  • Hoe Sit Down

    And why is it that she’s always interrupting her guests and telling stories about herself…. WHO ASKED YOU??? It’s supposed to be about the guest, not you Tyra… She be killing me….

  • John

    I WANT TO MARRY HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Kim

    I meant that she is always so casual, I have never really seen her other side only when she attends award shows etc. I would like to see her looking fab once in a while, aint nothing wrong with sneakers!

  • Dalia

    I’m an ASICS girl myself, but I like K-Swiss.

    And Tyra looks good.

  • txshawty

    Dalia…ain’t nothing wrong with a lil Swiss in ya life! lol

    Gone TYRA! That’s what i”m talking about, dress down, be comfortable sometimes! lol This is probably a break for her, shoot! She’s in a profession where she’s always dressed up in some neck breaker heels, can’t a sista chill? lol

  • Angel

    Why must everyone be compared to Beyonce? Please stop.

  • Tealeaf

    Cannot stand Fake Banks

  • Dalia

    @ txshawty:

    Thanks. I feel better now.

    Usually the main ones dissing the K-Swiss sneakers have got a pair of them knocking the hell out of the dust bunnies under their bed.

  • PaigeyWaigey

    *****ELOVE****** U ARE RETARDED….”MAKE HER BODY SING” NOW I CAN’T GET THAT DAMN SONG OUTTA MY HEAD!!! LMAO THANKS A LOT!

  • please shut up tyra

    “An average American woman is size 12 or 14. So if I look like a 10 or 12 in a picture and someone says I look disgusting, are they saying the majority of America is disgusting?”

    yes tyra, they are. america is the fattest nation in the world, so spouting off the average size of an american woman like it’s some sort of norm…well it isn’t. a size 14 is the first size in a plus-size store. plus-size is a euphemism for fat. so the fact that the “average” american woman is fat is something that should be remedied, not celebrated.

  • Delta Diva

    @please shut up tyra

    Just b/c someone is a size 14 does not make them unhealthy and just b/c someone is a size 6 does not make them healthy. It’s all about your BMI…

  • sobrooklyn

    this is the reason i have a problem with tyra..when she was skinnier than skinny she never one wanted to stand up for what she calls the “normal size women ” now when her ass to big to rub elbows with white america ..now she wants to get in touch with her inner self please stop…

    lol @ the k swiss ..i hate k swiss but i wouldnt know anyone for wearing them..shoot she looks comfortable

  • Really

    She looks great and younger, but damn all these brod look alike. I wasnt sure if that was Ciara or Jessica Alba and wouldnt have guessed Tyra. She looks better when her dome is covered.

  • Really

    @ Kim

    Because she is NOT Beyonce. Beyonce looks fake as hell all dressed up all the time. Beyonce needs a ho sit down card and I have one with her name on it.

  • Corree

    Everyone should know that Tyra does what Tyra does best: Talk about Tyra. This hooker ain’t married because she’s not allowed to marry herself.

  • prima

    When did she start wearing a black wig? And why does that man behind her in a pink shirt look crazy? Like a serial killer?

  • prima

  • John

    HAD TO COME BACK FOR MORE! I WANT THIS GIRL!!!!!

  • Bet

    Tyra is a beautiful, smart, funny, successful, and RICH Black woman. I celebrate who she is and hope there are alot more like her.

  • Replay

    Weird. At first glance, I thought it was Kim Kardi. All these chicks are starting to look alike.

  • Dalia

    Did anybody else notice how the white guy in the first thumbnail is looking at Tyra?

    Stalker Alert!!!!!!!!

  • KillaBeeSwarm

    @dalia

    Thanks for pointing that out. Tyra looks so oblivious to stalker mere feet away! lmao

  • david

    She looks terrible. She’s built like someone right on the brink of being fat. She is two hamburgers away from being a real porker!

  • Thephatdiva

    First of all!!! Why do people think someone would want to be dressed up all the time? She looks good. She’s blending in with society and I’m sure a lot of stars would like to do that from time to time and second why is that man looking at her like that? I think he’s a stalker.
