Four supers in one! Tyra Banks transforms herself into Cindy Crawford, Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne for new photo project
|
As the host of America's Next Top Model, she is an enthusiastic supporter of her industry.
And now Tyra Banks has taken the meaning of 'paying homage' to a whole new level with a series of original and amazingly well done photoshoots that transform her into other supermodels.
The 39-year-old legend of her profession took to social media on Saturday to share creative snaps of herself as Cindy Crawford, Cara Delevingne and Kate Moss.
'Physically transformed into my idol!' Tyra Banks embarked on a photo project in which she turned herself into 15 different models, paying homage to the likes of Cindy Crawford, as pictured here
A solid effort: Tyra did an amazing job of looking like her idol Cindy Crawford, pictured here in the 1990's when the pair would have come face to face as competitors
She went ahead and explained the project - via Instagram - in which she declared an intention to portray her 'friends, competitors and colleagues'
'I've put my own spin on #NYFW w/ a photo tribute in which I LITERALLY transform into some of the fiercest #SuperModels ever,' Tyra said.
In a sure twist for the photoshop-happy industry, she added: 'NO PHOTOSHOP! Unretouched. Real. Raw.' and sent big thanks to 'hours of hair & makeup!'
'Ubermodel!' Tyra said it took four hours of hair and makeup to transform herself into Cara Delevingne where she seemed to replicate one of the model's latest Instagram snaps
The famed supermodel - who is a known social media aficionado - promised 15 imitation photos, so 12 more to come.
She told her followers that the number 15 is significant to her because it was the age she began her modeling career.
For the overwhelmingly accurate Cindy Crawford snap, Tyra posed on what seemed to be a bed with the supermodel's signature mole re-created on her face.
'Hid my booty & boobies!' Tyra put a lot of work into replicating the look and pose of fellow supermodel Kate Moss in another well-composed snap
A colleague and competitor: Kate Moss, pictured here in 1995 at Spring Fashion Week in New York, was given a thoughtful shout-out by Tyra Banks in her photography project
'It was amazing to be physically transformed into my idol, @CindyCrawford,' she said, in what was sure to be a flattering shout-out.
The TV presenter then re-created the look and pose of Kate Moss, in a snap where she leans against the wall.
'Hid my booty & boobies like a pro, for a pro - all to look & pose just like #SuperModel Kate Moss!' Tyra said alongside the shot.
In real life: Cindy Crawford stepped out in Malibu on Saturday where she grabbed lunch at a bakery and sipped a coffee as she chatted on her phone
Next was relative newcomer to the modeling scene, Cara Delevingne.
'4 hours of hair & makeup later, I've become übermodel @Caradelevingne!' said Tyra, alongside the shot in which she wears a cap similar to one in Cara's recent Instagram snap.
In the shot, Tyra pulls a face to look like she's growling and looks to have darkened her eyebrows to achieve Cara's signature look.
Statuesque: The 5'9 actress was stunning in a white tank and olive pants, barely looking her age at 47 years old
Content with her purchase! The supermodel wandered out of a bakery with goodies including a tasty looking bread stick
Tyra proved her true excellence as a model in the series of remarkable shots which truly do pay homage to her industry.
She dropped the fun photo project in the middle of New York Fashion Week and as she is also in full America's Next Top Model promotion mode.
The 20th season of her smash hit show is currently airing on the Oxygen channel.
Her own designated driver: Cindy waved about in the sun before hopping into her ride in the coastal town
Meanwhile, Tyra's friend, colleague and competitor Cindy Crawford was in Malibu on Saturday picking up some coffee and baked goods.
The statuesque 47-year-old was delightful in a white tank and basic olive pants.
Her brunette tresses looked just as they ever have in countless editorials and she chatted happily on her cellphone.
