Tyra Banks, 51, looks decades younger as she stuns in leather corset at Freakier Friday premiere in Sydney

Daily Mail​4 days ago
Tyra Banks has barely changed since her days as a Victoria's Secret runway model.
The 51-year-old, who is one of America's original supermodels, is now living in Australia, where she runs an ice cream store.
The stunner was on the red carpet alongside Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis in Sydney on Tuesday night, and was looking decades younger than her years.
Tyra turned heads in a chocolate-toned ensemble including a leather corset that cinched in her waist.
It was worn over the top of a flowing, satin gown that skimmed her famous figure and featured ruching at the bust.
For makeup, Tyra chose a cool and natural tone with rosy blush and a muted nude lipstick.

She completed the look by wearing her bob sleek and straightened, and added a pair of patent leather heels in a brown tone that matched her dress.
Tyra recently revealed why she moved with her family to Sydney, Australia, last year - and what inspired her relocation across the world.
Banks, who was born in California, has been living down under for close to two years with her son, York Banks Asla, nine, and partner, Louis Bélanger-Martin.
The Life-Size actress opened up about her decision to move on while appearing as a guest co-host on Today With Jenna & Friends with Jenna Bush Hager.
'So I have this ice cream company, SMiZE and Dream,' she divulged to Hager, explaining that her products are being sold on cruises and airplanes.
'I was going to Australia a lot because we were making a lot of our ice cream there in a big facility doing our recipes, and I just fell in love with it,' she continued.
Interestingly enough, the former America's Next Top Model creator revealed that Australia ranks among the top three countries that eat the most ice cream.
The other two countries taking the lead are America and New Zealand.
'So I was like, "I'm happy here, and they love to eat some ice cream, so are we gonna do this, family?" And we did it!' Banks said simply about the move.
During the show, Banks also filmed a 'morning in her life' video from Sydney for viewers.
She started off her day by waking up at 6:30 am and making a cup of coffee before taking viewers on an adventure.
'Sydney has so many beautiful sights, but let me show you one of my favourite places to take my little boo boo, my son,' the Shake Ya Body singer shared.
She then resumed filming from Tumbalong Park in Darling Harbour.
'They have what we call a little mini waterpark, they have swings and stuff for kids,' Banks shared, as she showed off the gorgeous scene, with kids and parents running around in the background.

Aussie TV star sparks dating rumours with Vikings actor - as they are spotted together at several A-list events

TV presenter Bella Varelis and Australian actor Sam Corlett have sparked dating rumours, as the pair have been spotted together several times in recent weeks. The 7Bravo presenter, 30, and Vikings franchise star, 29, have allegedly been seen arriving at A-list events together, but are apparently keeping their relationship quiet. They walked the red carpet at the Logie Awards in Sydney on Sunday, and got cosy at the Ksubi by Lissy Roddy launch on Wednesday, reported The Daily Telegraph. 'There's been a couple of times now they have arrived at an event together and left together,' claimed a source. 'But once there, they did their best to not be spotted together. Sam in particular is notoriously private.' Daily Mail has reached out to Bella and Sam for comment. Bella rose to fame on season eight of The Bachelor in 2020 with Locky Gilbert, and lost to her rival Irena Srbinovska. Last year, she replaced Nicole Kidman's niece Lucia Hawley as a 7Bravo Live From E! presenter. The TV star has undergone a makeover since her days as a runner-up on The Bachelor. Bella, who was last known to be dating photographer Will Stokoe until they split three years ago, underwent a nose job and eyelid lift surgery in one eye in 2022. At the time, the star admitted she had been 'lying' to her fans for ten days and using old photos on social media to conceal her surgery. Meanwhile, Sam is one of Australia's most promising new acting talents, and appeared on Netflix's Chilling Adventures of Sabrina opposite Miranda Otto in 2020. He also portrayed Leif Erikson in Vikings: Valhalla and Marshall Lawson in Territory. It comes after Bella revealed a sneak peek at what she eats in a day to maintain her fit figure. Earlier this year, she took to her Instagram Stories with a picture showcasing her 'day on a plate'. The Australian model told fans she tries to keep her meals 'balanced', but will often eat out for dinner and snack on fruit. In the image she shared, Bella plated up four meals she incorporates into her day-to-day diet. One plate contained four figs cut in half, while another featured grilled fish with sliced cucumber. Bella appeared to be fond of cucumber, as she included the vegetable in another meal alongside quinoa and yoghurt. Her final meal of the day was a plate of lamb-chops with some fresh green salad.

Chris Hemsworth describes 'gear shift' after learning he's 10 times more likely to get Alzheimer's

Chris Hemsworth has told Sky News that finding out he had a greater chance of developing Alzheimer's disease was a "gear shift" in his life motivations. During a genetic test in season one of Limitless: Live Better Now, the Australian actor discovered that he is, biologically, eight to 10 times more likely than others to have the brain disorder during his lifetime as he carries two copies of the APOE4 gene. He had first taken part in the National Geographic show to be its "guinea pig" and face new experiences that challenge the body and mind. But after having the test, the 41-year-old Thor, Furiosa and Transformers star was faced with an unexpected truth. One in every 50 people inherit two copies of the APOE4 gene and research has found that nearly all double carriers showed key early signs of the disease which causes dementia by the age of 55. Everyone's risk is different, and evidence suggests there are things you can do to reduce your risk whether you're a carrier of the gene or not, including not smoking, reducing alcohol intake, daily exercise, monitoring cholesterol and blood pressure and eating a balanced diet. Speaking of when he found out he was a double carrier, Hemsworth told Sky News: "It was just kind of this point in my life where up until your 40s, you're kind of gathering data and information and it's all reactionary and then you get to a point where you think, oh some of this sort of identity that I've sort of built doesn't hold true anymore. "There's some inner sort of protest or inner voice that has a deeper need to understand and there's deeper questions and what is the purpose and the why behind what I'm doing ... and what am I seeking, what am I contributing, as opposed to just what I am collecting." Reacting on screen, he said it made him shift his focus to living better and increase the chances of him spending as much time as possible with his family and friends. What's changed in the second series? The change in mindset is evident in season two. "This time around, I was very involved in the orchestration and the sort of production and bringing together spaces that I was interested in or there was a deep curiosity or were deeply personal to me. And it was more sort of experiential journalism as opposed to a contestant in a challenging kind of fun, reality show. He adds: "I was much more committed or invested in the experience. "And I was a bit more educated on the topics too. I had to research, I had a deeper point of view, I suppose, personally, but also sort of the education I was given prior and I enjoyed that more, to be honest, I didn't like that I felt very uncomfortable in the first season because I was standing around all these experts and I knew nothing about these topics, yet I was kind of asked to speak on them and so I felt like an imposter the entire time." Limitless: Live Better Now looks at the ways in which you can improve your brain and body's health through endurance challenges and learning a new instrument. Teaming up with Sheeran Hemsworth chose the drums and, taking it to the extreme, was set the task of joining his friend Ed Sheeran on stage to play Thinking Out Loud. "That fear and that anxiety was incredibly overwhelming," Hemsworth says, detailing how he felt "underwater" in the weeks leading up to the event. "It's weird the way intense situations actually cause a hyper focus; it's a survival mechanism of the brain. "Some of the other challenges where if I did the training it was beneficial, but I could kind of muscle my way through it. You can't do that with a musical instrument and then the realisation that the entire band is relying on you to keep time. And then 70,000 people are sitting there going, 'please don't wreck our favourite song'." Reflecting on the moment, he says it's one of the most magical feelings he's ever had. "The joy was unlike anything I've ever experienced. You know, if you could bottle that and have it in a healthy way and not have all the negatives that someone may have for it, it was amazing. It was a true kind of one of my first probably proper out of body experiences, I suppose. "It was like, I kind of remember being in the out, looking down at myself almost, kind of going, wow, I'm kind of floating along with this thing that's so much bigger than me and I'm in true sort of flow state with it."

A brand of one's own: how Denmark's women are redrawing fashion's rules

Football fans will be familiar with the manager musical chairs, but fashion has been strangely similar over the last year. Since mid-2024 there have been 17 new designers appointed to head up houses including Gucci and Dior. But, in an industry fuelled by womenswear, just four of these appointments have been women. And there are other depressing statistics. Of the top 30 luxury brands in the Vogue Business Index, a mere five creative directors are women. At Kering, the luxury conglomerate that owns Balenciaga and Valentino, there is just one: Louise Trotter at Bottega Veneta. At LVMH, the fashion behemoth that counts Loewe and Dior among its brands, again, just one label is helmed by a woman – Sarah Burton at Givenchy. There's more. In February, research by 1Granary found that 74% of students at top fashion programmes are female, yet 88% of fashion's top designer roles are held by men. The last time a woman won designer of the year at the Fashion awards was in 2012. And it's not just designers. The majority of those in positions of power at brands, such as CEOs and executives, are also male. There is an anomaly, though. This week, the 19th iteration of Copenhagen fashion week (CPHFW), known in the industry as the fifth fashion week, is being held in the Danish capital. Of the 42 brands participating, 26 are founded and led by females. Stine Goya – who now sells her eponymous label in over 30 countries, with the US being its second-biggest market outside Denmark – describes men's continual domination of the fashion industry as 'outdated'. Denmark's structural approach to equality, she says, has become a key instigator of change, with policies aimed at improving wage equality and schemes to encourage women to return to work after having children. 'Copenhagen has become an ecosystem for independent female-led brands,' she told me. 'There is a spirit of collaboration here, and a willingness to do things differently. It has allowed women to take up space and build businesses on their own terms.' Stephanie Gundelach co-founded OpéraSport, a brand that specialises in creating contemporary wardrobe staples from upcycled materials, with Awa Malina Stelter in 2019. Gundelach says much of their motivation comes from the desire to overcome this type of gender inequality. 'There is an unspoken bias in the fashion industry where often women have to work twice as hard to be seen as equally visionary. In Copenhagen, there is a shift happening. Women are building their own platforms rather than waiting for a seat at someone else's table.' Fashion's idea of what a woman should look like impacts everything, from the models who appear on the catwalks to the design of the clothes. In 2024, for instance, 1.4% of models on the catwalks at CPHFW were plus-size while in New York, London, Milan and Paris just 0.8% of models were plus-size. Cecilie Bahnsen, who popularised the idea of wearing intricate and romantic dresses with practical trainers, says that as a woman designing for other women her ethos is based around comfort. 'There is an ease to my pieces. They don't outshine you.' 'A lot of women want to wear something different to what male designers suggest they should wear,' says Anne Sofie Madsen, who this week relaunched her namesake brand with a new co-creative director, the stylist Caroline Clante. 'We look at clothing with a female gaze. Our customers are not only dressing to be desired or admired, but also to be themselves.' This season's collection included a pair of 'evening jeans', as well as meme-able 'rat bags'. While the creative jobs at the top of the fashion industry have become synonymous with burnout, Danish designers take a more holistic approach to work-life balance, in line with Danish work culture generally. Madsen, who prior to launching her own label in 2011 worked alongside designers including Alexander McQueen and John Galliano, credits fashion's traditional gauntlet of endless travelling, long hours and expectations to produce more than six collections a year as a catalyst for her hitting pause on her brand in 2017. 'I realised that I was living a life that I didn't want to live,' she says. 'I wanted to figure out a different way to be in fashion.' Now, Madsen and Clante are determined to build their brand to work around their lives, rather than making the brand their whole existence. Madsen is continuing to teach at the Scandinavian Academy of Fashion Design and Clante works as a freelance stylist. Sign up to Fashion Statement Style, with substance: what's really trending this week, a roundup of the best fashion journalism and your wardrobe dilemmas solved after newsletter promotion Bahnsen, who started showing in Paris in 2022, has kept her atelier based in Copenhagen, describing it as 'her bubble'. She allows her team of 26 women and four men to work flexible hours and discourages working at weekends. Gundelach and Stelter will often finish work at 3pm in order to spend time with their families, and Bahnsen's five-year-old son is a regular sight in her atelier. Livia Schück, co-founder of Rave Review – who this season showed delicate boho-inspired dresses and skirts made from deadstock – took her post-show bow while holding her five-month-old daughter. 'We don't have a culture where you need to stay until five or six because that's not workable when you have small kids,' says Stelter. 'Our workers know what we expect of them, but they have the freedom to work flexibly. As long as the work is getting done we are happy.' Many Danes talk about the 'law of Jante', a sort of Scandinavian social code based on the idea that no one is better than anyone else. Gundelach describes how it feeds into 'a collaborative rather than competitive energy' and says that 'there is a strong community of female creatives lifting each other up, which I feel is quite rare'. Goya credits 'a sense of openness' and an 'ambitious creative scene' as a driving force for independent female designers. 'It's not been about having an ego. It is about building a team, a brand and a community.' As Isabella Rose Davey, chief operating officer of CPHFW, points out, the women paving a new path in the industry hope that others will follow their lead. 'It is modern, forward thinking like this that we need to see more of outside Denmark to ensure that women are not locked out of senior positions.'
