Tyra Banks Named "Most Influential Body Shaper"

LQSeaton · 07-05-2007, 08:41 AM

Tyra Banks built her supermodel career with beauty, determination, and, of course, that body. When she retired from modeling in May 2005 to focus on her incredibly successful series America’s Next Top Model, her daily talk show and other projects, she was also able to retire from the rigors of maintaining the very specific body type needed to be a supermodel.

While many would still say she has an enviable figure, when she appeared in a swimsuit, clearly pounds above her modeling weight, gossip magazines and blogs seized upon the transformation as an opportunity to take her down a notch. Rather than retreat, ignore the buzz or begin a very public diet, Tyra appeared on her talk show sporting the same swimsuit and famously telling critics to “kiss [her] fat a**.”

For that statement – which in the skinniness-obsessed entertainment industry is a fairly revolutionary act – as well as her efforts to include plus-size models on America’s Next Top Model, she has been named the “Most Influential Body Shaper” by OK! Magazine.
