Fans of Dancing With The Stars are hoping host Tyra Banks finds a new stylist as they share their not-so-supportive opinions on her recent outfits. Tyra has been expressing her big personality by dressing up in eccentric costumes to fit the episode's theme. She is currently hosting season 30 of the dance competition show. This is Tyra's second season as the show's host after replacing Tom Bergeron in season 29.
The former supermodel and host of America's Next Top Model is no stranger to the fashion industry. Tyra began her modeling career at 15 years old and modeled as a Victoria's Secret angel for eight years. During her time on ANTM, Tyra worked alongside former creative director and American editor-at-large of Vogue, Andre Leon Talley, and celebrity stylist Law Roach. Currently, Tyra has been working with stylist Eric Archibald on all of her show costumes that have fans talking.
Unfortunately, DWTS fans are not impressed with Tyra's fashion knowledge and have been brutally honest with their opinions of her recent outfits. The U.S. Sun reports that early into a recent DWTS episode, fans of the show expressed that they didn't like the host's outfits. @TheCarterFilez on Twitter called Tyra's outfit choices "tragic," while @leshawnnnn wrote, "Tyra is so extra." Tyra, however, did not seem concerned with the fans' feedback.
Tyra was first criticized for her show costumes during Britney Night. At the start of the episode, Tyra did an homage to Britney's 1998 "...Baby One More Time" schoolgirl music video look. Later on, she changed into a green gown with a gold snake wrapped around it. This was a reference to Britney's 2001 VMA performance, in which she danced around the stage with a snake while performing her song "I'm a Slave 4 U." Despite the initial criticism, this didn't stop Tyra from dressing up again for both Disney Heroes and Disney Villains night. During the two-night Disney episodes, Tyra first wore a Lion King-inspired gown with a feathery neckline resembling a lion's mane. The following night, she resembled the Evil Queen in a black cloak and long gray wig.
Tyra is known for her outlandish behavior and antics on both ANTM and her 2005 talk show, The Tyra Banks Show, so fans shouldn't be so surprised by Tyra's extra attire on Dancing With The Stars. Tyra has never been ashamed of who she is but instead has embraced her wild personality. As a Victoria's Secret Angel, she was always sure to let her personality shine through on the runway and encouraged contestants on ANTM to do the same. It seems unlikely that she will dull her shine to appease some Twitter critics. Unfortunately for fans of the show, they'll have to get used to Tyra and whatever extraordinary outfits she has planned for the future.
Dancing With The Stars airs Mondays at 8pm on ABC.
