Tyra Banks looked nearly unrecognizable as she attended Daily Front Row’s Ninth Annual Fashion L.A. Awards on Thursday. 

The supermodel, 51 – who recently revealed the surprising reason she fled the U.S. to move to Australia – joined other celebrities at the event, such as Brooks Nader and Chappell Roan. 

Banks was the recipient of the Fashion Icon Award during the festivities, which took place at the Beverly Hills H๏τel. 

The star walked the red carpet with a bold makeup look which comprised of thicker eyebrows as well as a silver shadow around her eyes. 

A warm blush was added to her cheekbones for a radiant glow and a light pink, matte tint was worn on her lips for a finishing touch. 

Tyra turned heads wearing a dark brown coat that fell down towards her ankles and was secured with a belt around her waist.

Additional fabric draped down the left side and shoulder pads added a stylish flare to the overall ensemble. 

She slipped into a pair of closed-toed, brown pumps to coincide with the color scheme of the look. 

The star’s brunette locks were parted in the middle, and flowed down in light waves to brush past her shoulders. 

Banks opted to not add any flashy pieces of jewelry to allow the ensemble to be the main focal point for the special evening. 

The TV personality paused for a brief pH๏τo session upon arriving to the venue – and was later seen addressing the crowd as she accepted the Fashion Icon Award. 

Tyra has opened up about beauty and aging over the years, such as during a recent interview with Essence this year. 

‘I know sometimes people my age, they look at a younger generation and they get jealous of their youth, their vitality, and that they have so much ahead of them,’ she expressed. 

‘But I don’t look at the younger generation and get jealous of that, because I was once that. I experienced that. I don’t have that inside of me.’

‘I do think one secret is extra weight, because I’ve not been too skinny,’ she explained at the time. 

‘I think if you’re really skinny, it will age your face. So I think a bit of juice, as it keeps the face nice and juicy naturally. I haven’t had injections.’ 

Tyra continued, ‘The only thing I did was my nose, and that was many years ago. I’m not anti [injections] – maybe one day I will, but I haven’t done it yet.’ 

Back in 2018, the star opened up to share that she had gotten a nose job earlier on in her career during an interview with People. 

‘Natural beauty is unfair,’ she stated. ‘I get really uncomfortable when women who are these natural beauties judge anybody who does anything to themselves.’ 

She also wrote about the topic in her memoir тιтled Perfect Is Boring and Banks further expressed: ‘I had bones in my nose that were growing and itching.

‘I could breathe fine, but I added cosmetic surgery. I admit it! Fake hair, and I did my nose. I feel I have a responsibility to tell the truth.’ 

And in 2023, Banks revealed the secret behind her ageless appearance while talking to DailyMail.com – which she credited as to having ‘extra weight’ on her face; seen in February in Santa Monica 

Tyra also shared, ‘If you like your natural self, don’t worry about it. But if you feel insecure about something… 

‘I have a magic bag of beauty tricks to make you who you want to be. Permanent or temporary, I do not judge that.’

Banks continued, ‘Fix it or flaunt it – I think women should be able to do both. There is a boundary line, either you’re super natural or you live at the plastic surgeon. 

‘It’s okay to hop back and forth over that line. You want a hair weave? Fine. You want permanent eyebrows? Fine. We as women need to stop judging.’

She opened up about her decision to move herself and her family across the globe during a guest appearance on Today With Jenna & Friends last week

Along with her latest appearance at the 2025 Fashion Awards in L.A., Tyra has been busy with her move to Sydney, Australia. 

She opened up about her decision to move herself and her family across the globe during a guest appearance on Today With Jenna & Friends last week. 

‘So I have this ice cream company, SMiZE and Dream. I was going to Australia a lot because we were making a lot of our ice cream there in a big facility doing our recipes, and I just fell in love with it.’ 

The model added, ‘So I was like, “I’m happy here, and they love to eat some ice cream, so are we gonna do this, family?” And we did it!’
