Tyra Banks sported long thick dreadlocks on Thursday while visiting Nyle DiMarco at the Dancing With The Stars rehearsal studio in Los Angeles.

The 42-year-old television personality crowned Nyle, 26, as the season 22 winner of her show America's Next Top Model.

Tyra - who regularly changes up her hairstyles - looked ready for a funky runway with her dreads, green camouflage jacket and ripped black jeans.

The former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model had her jeans tucked into clunky green ankle boots and accessorised with sunglasses and a watch.

New York City native Nyle won season 22 of ANTM as the first deaf contestant in the show's history.

He has been teamed with pro partner Peta Murgatroyd during season 22 of DWTS.

Nyle and Peta have been impressing the judges and earned 34 points on Monday during Disney Night as they danced a samba on Disney Night to Trashin' The Camp.

The top model stripped down to just a loincloth as Tarzan for the performance.

DWTS co-host Erin Andrews asked Nyle how he managed to hit the beat without hearing any of the music.

'Being born deaf I think actually helps me because sound never existed for me, so basically I just follow Peta's movement and I act it out,' he said.

'I can see the beats from Peta and that's how we do it,' he explained through an interpreter.

Tyra and her partner Erik Asla welcomed her first son York via a surrogate in January.

The TV host last month told E! News that she shares night duties with Erik.

'Some mornings you wake up, and you're like, "Where am I?" I don't know what's going on. And I know it's not a good idea for me to drive right now because I did not sleep. So I balance that and his [York] dad helps, and we go back and forth so that's good,' she said.

'Erik does about 40 percent diaper duty at night. So we're almost 50/50,' she said.

Tyra said she was on maternity leave at the time and was learning the art of delegation.

America's Next Top Model was cancelled last year by The CW, but was picked up by VH1 in February and will return with Tyra as an executive producer, but no longer as the host.
