Covershoot:

 

[Mr Yayo]

Hell no!

 

[BalkaniStaCouture]

ANTM gone wrong! Jeez!

 

[BalkaniStaCouture]

Just trying to imagine Wilford Lenov, the stylist here, looking at Tyra at the photoshoot, and yelling, yas gurl, yas queen, slay… Hun??? 😕😳😨😵

 

[MyNameIs]

Tacky! Is Tyra styling, shooting, and designing these covers herself?

 

[Abby Zacky]

After 15 Years on her modelling career, she said, this is her favorite shoots ever, but sorry Tyra, NOT FOR US!

 

[thenewclassic]

I don't think it's that bad? I kinda feel like we're so used to being given nothing by most people nowadays that in a way when Tyra comes along doing too much it's even more jarring... She looks very pretty here fwiw and I do hope she manages to match up with a great team of creatives to work with during this new stage of her career

 

[Royal-Galliano]

lol

the badly photoshopped background? the level of cheapness is through the roof here.

 

[Lola701]

It’s very dated, from the modelling to the styling. Maybe if we were in 2007 and Gareth Pugh was hype…
The hands on the waist? Well…

 

[berbe]

these are the better ones among her recent shoots but nowhere near the "blueprints" she talking about

 

[Mrs.T]

I'm sorry Tyra, but tonight you are eliminated.

 

[niknak]

Personally, considering the last 20 years of Tyra Banks' "high-fashion" career, I don't think this cover/ed is HORRIBLE. The only "wish" I have is that she loses about 20-25 pounds if she wants to foray back into the fashion of it all.

 

[Avonlea]

It's tacky, dated and amateur. She is a beautiful woman and with a good team could look phenomenal.

I agree, and I almost prefer doing "too much" nowadays (i.e. Coco Rocha) than just some youth standing there looking depressed against a white backdrop. I think the second shot in her post could have made for a great cover actually. Now that the industry supposedly has room for everyone (including models like Paloma) I have no problem with Tyra coming back and claiming covers for dozens of publications that don't really matter.

 

[WAVES]

she never really had it and still doesn’t. everything screams dated, forced and cheap.

 

[mepps]

There are far better images in the editorial, that could have made the cover. They chose one of the absolute worst shots.
I like Tyra, but I don't ever remember her being that great in print. She was one of those girls, that came alive on the runway tho.

 

[mteb123]

Was there no budget? It looks like a grad school project!! Very cheap and Very dated!! I love me some Tyra but this ain’t it… She can do better… We were rooting for her!!

 

[Phuel]

^^^ Not even a generous budget would elevate such an embarrassingly, juvenile, dated shoot that really does resemble a high school fashion project. The talents are just not there. A middle-age woman shouldn’t be subjected to this brand of a 14yo gay’s vision of fashion. And the horrendous retouching is unforgivably insulting: It’s 1st-day PS class level of amateur. Tyra should be livid. First the Essence slop, and now this sloppier production. Waiting for the sloppiest next.

 

[theshadedgaze]

God awful.
