Tyra Banks Makes Cover Of Sports Illustrated at 45!
She’s 45 years old and made the cover of Sports Illustrated.
You probably remember Tyra Banks on the cover years ago…..yeah, that was 23 years ago.
Well she is back on the cover at 45. She says: “I’m wiser now and thicker.” There are two more cover girls this year: Soccer star Alex Morgan and New England Patriots cheerleader Camille Kostek.
(Check out all three here. And check out Tyra’s latest cover side-by-side with that first cover here.)
Oh…and by the way Tyra is changing her name.
From now on she just wants to be known as BanX . . . HUH??
She says it symbolizes the “X-ing out of cookie cutter beauty.”
Ok. whatever.
