As a supermodel and host of a fashion TV show, she's used to styling herself to perfection.

And Tyra Banks certainly knows how to dress when she wants to impress.

The 38-year-old star boosted her already Amazonian height with a bouffant hairstyle and showed off her enviable figure in a simple but stunning outfit as she left the Chelsea Television Studios in New York on Thursday.

The host and creator of America's Next Top Model wore a black bandage dress which accentuated her killer curves to perfection.

She teamed the garment with a short black jacket and a pair of matching high-heeled shoes.

Tyra styled her hair up on her head, while her curls tumbled down to rest on her shoulders and she wore some subtle gold jewellery on her fingers.

And while the fashionista looked fabulous as she left the TV studios on Thursday, she recently proved she doesn't take herself too seriously by posting some distorted pictures of herself on Twitter.

Tyra used the new Smize Yourself app to generate the images which made her look like an alien or a doll and she happily shared them with her millions of followers.

 

Along with one image, she wrote: 'My wide eyed SMIZE from Planet Fierce. #MysteryOfTheSmize.'

And embracing her new doll-like look, she added: 'Planet of the dolls. #MysteryOfTheSmize.'

While Tyra was happy to poke fun at herself this week, the star is serious about women embracing their own beauty.

The entrepreneur runs a website called TypeF.com which is aimed at celebrating female individuality.

Speaking on The Ellen DeGeneres Shows, she said: 'With a lot of magazines, it tells you exactly what you're supposed to look like and if you don't look like this... you're a loser, you're not good enough.

'I have to admit I was a model for many years and modeled in the magazines that promoted that image.

'What TypeF does is it says, "You are beautiful and you are you... Women in our individuality is what is beautiful."'

You know, time and time again she fails to impress me with her sense of style and fashion. Its a shame because, she is such a beautiful and stunning looking woman, I just wish she did her hair and wore garments in which would make her face and eyes stand out instead of her sometimes tacky looks in which I find to over the top. But then again thats just my opinion.
