Tyra Banks is no stranger to daring hairstyles. (Remember this crazy curled updo?) At the Daytime Emmy Awards, her show scored a win — but do you think this blonde, Barbie-esque hair works for her? And do you also think that Tyra's not really "smiling with her eyes" here? Source

    Her smile looks so forced and fake.. like "HURRY UP AND TAKE THE PIC ALREADY!" smile lol
    Yeah and I hate the hair color on her but I still love Tyra.

    She cannot pull off the blonde hair at all. Her regular color was attractive and realistic!

    Man, Jessica Simpson is gonna throw a FIT when she finds out that Tyra took her hair.

    Yeah, her eyes say "I can buy and sell you...so take the pic and leave me alone. I gotta condition like you wouldn't believe."

    This looks horrible. I don't know why black women have this obssesion with blond hair when we can't pull it off. Its just wrong.

    That blond is waaay to light for her skin tone. Plus, it looks kind of crunchy and dry on top..not so good.

    I just don't understand why she would want to be a dime-a-dozen blonde when her natural color is likely to be a dramatic, rich shade that would bring out her eyes and flatter her skin tone?

    I'm so over Tyra and her lace fronts, lace backs, clip-ons, sew ins,glue ins, take outs, hang out to dries! And what better comparison than to a Barbie doll. Go figure!

    You know, it's a pretty blonde. I think it doesn't look bad but at the same time it's doesn't like good.

    It's too blonde for her. I don't like seeing black women with blonde hair.

    Her hair looks plastic and very unnatural - I wish she'd go back to a more natural/flattering color and style!

    I just don't get it. She has such a beautiful skin tone, is obviously a gorgeous girl, why has her hair been so barbie-tastic since starting ANTM? I'm not trying to just compare black models, but Naomi Campbell usually rocks a more natural, darker look, and it looks so much better. And it's not just Naomi Campbell, I'm trying to picture Giselle with this hair also...lol. I can't even remember what Tyra looks like with more natural hair!

    I prefer her hair to be dark. But, the blonde still looks better than the weird color it was in the original "kiss my fat ass" clip.

    I thing the sad thing here is not the hair, but that everyone on this opinion board has been a female and we are collectively here to bash another female. Tyra Banks may have had extreme fashion and hair but that's not what you should love or hate. She sends a message to other women that women can be strong and any race and any weight and body shape and still be sexy. She sends a positive message about race and opportunity so that any girl in the country can be inspired and feel like she could be more than she started out. That's Tyra Banks. Not her hair or her makeup or her clothes (which she usually doesn't do bad on either).

    maryamyumyum: i haven't noticed many people bashing her...if anything, they are criticizing this hairstyle and offering that she looks gorgeous with a more natural look, which i don't think is a particularly offensive opinion to express. not saying tyra isn't a positive role model, but she is a pretty prominent fashion/celebrity figure, so why is it so wrong to talk about her extreme hair in a fairly even-keeled manner? she's not a freaking politician or something, she IS a former model..most people are offering constructive criticism here, not blind hatred, lol. (IMO she looks better with dark hair and waaaay less makeup, but that's just me)

    Completely agree piksie. Love Tyra but I think the color of her hair here clashes. JMO

    I like it as is. Hell, I wish I knew who did her weave, cos it almost always looks damn good [and real!]. And her brows? Perfection.

    Like the style a lot in terms of shape, and length, but I do not like it this blonde on her at all.

    Its unnatural, and I think makes her hair look dull and dry, especially near the roots.

    Saying that, in general I like her makeup, her skin looks fantastic, she has great shoulders...her smile does seem a bit forced, but isn't entirely fake.

    Just cover her mouth and look at the eyes, there is "some" smile there but perhaps she is preoccupied.

    As models and role models go, people could do way worse than Tyra.

    Not a fan of dime-a-dozen blondes. She's above that and no one needs to look like Barbie; Pam Anderson's got that all wrapped up already. Enough is enough.

    Hi,

    I prefer Tyra with dark hair. I am a VERY PROUD brunette.

    I have always been curious - what does Tyra's real look like?

    I love Tyra but..ummm...there's a reason us black girls weren't born with blonde hair. It's because we obviously don't look good in it. Caligirl101, I totally agree that it looks better than in the "kiss my fat ass" clip. She just needs to stop this blonde thing. And she looks like she's in pain.

    I think I'd like the style better if she used her natural hair color. Maybe the lack of smile in her eyes is because she wants to have the head of the stylist who did her hair. Tyra usually has such expressive eyes, but in the photo they look a bit vacant.

    I'm not a Tyra fan, but she usually looks okay to me. This entire look was a big "no". The dress made her look fat and the hair is just too blonde.

    Tyra looks like she skinned electricuted siamese cats to make this lacefront. Women: Stop trying to fool yourself and everyone else with Frizzy hair that doesn't look a bit like it grew out on your scalp.
