Tyra Banks just gave us another fashion moment worth studying.
Gracing the cover of Numéro Netherlands ' 12th issue, the legendary supermodel proves why her name stays in the fashion history books. Shot by photographer Tyler Patrick Kenny, this new editorial is bold, sculptural, and fierce.
'Tyra has left an indelible mark on the fashion and entertainment industries,' the international publication said on Instagram about the shoot and its bombshell model. 'As one of the most iconic models in fashion history, she shattered barriers and collected a long list of firsts.'
Every pose, every style, and every angle is a masterclass in being on top. And fans are eating it up.
So, let's get into the looks.

In one striking shot, Tyra wears a fire-red padded gown with dramatic hips and sharp shoulders. A long, thick braid is styled into a wrapped halo around her head and body. Think part armor, part goddess energy.
The lewk is a fashion sculpture with movement and meaning.
Then there's the all-black look that practically broke the timeline: a sheer, fan-sleeved corset mini dress cinched at the waist with a belt, tights, and patent loafers. From the structure to the stance, the America's Next Top Model creator serves us silhouette, sexiness, and strength.
Tyra later softens her look with texture and shape in a black catsuit adorned with a massive white feather boa that coils around her like a cloud. Topped with a swirl-shaped fascinator and bold silver jewelry, the ensemble feels like a modern art installation.
Lastly, she channels goddess energy in a black velvet gown with curved hips and those signature braids flowing like liquid power.
Tyra doesn't just model these looks. She bodied them! And Tyra knows it.
Taking to Instagram, she talks about modeling since the age of 15. Owning her space, power, and poise, Tyra writes, 'These aren't just pics—they're blueprints. Study 'em. Remix 'em. Slay 'em…Because when you've been in the game, out the game, and come back like this? That's not just a comeback. That's a reawakening.'

Social media users are going crazy for this new spiritual enlightenment. Read more and check out these viral videos exploring mojo bags inside. Set in 1930s Mississippi, Sinners intertwines elements of horror, history, and spirituality to explore themes of survival, faith, and cultural heritage. One of the most impactful scenes that has inspired fans spiritual journeys is the moment when Annie asks if Smoke still had his 'mojo bag.' Annie's faith and love for Elijah was so powerful that she poured everything she had into his mojo bag when they first met 20 years ago, protecting him on his journey. Mojo bags, also known as gris-gris or conjure bags, are small pouches filled with a combination of herbs, roots, minerals, and personal items, believed to hold spiritual power. Originating from West and Central African traditions, these bags were brought to the United States by enslaved Africans and became integral to Hoodoo practices. They served various purposes, from protection and healing to attracting love or prosperity. In Sinners , the character Smoke, portrayed by Michael B. Jordan, carries a mojo bag given to him by his lover Annie, a Hoodoo practitioner, symbolizing his connection to ancestral wisdom and spiritual protection . The film's portrayal of mojo bags has resonated with audiences, sparking discussions on social media about their historical and cultural significance. One Instagram post describes the film itself as a 'modern-day mojo bag,' suggesting that Sinners serves as a vessel for spiritual enlightenment and cultural preservation. This metaphor highlights the film's role in educating viewers about the depth and resilience of African American spiritual practices. Coogler's meticulous attention to detail and commitment to authenticity are evident throughout the film. He collaborated with scholars like Yvonne Chireau, an expert in African American religious history, to ensure accurate representation of Hoodoo traditions. The film's narrative, combined with its evocative visuals and haunting soundtrack, immerses viewers in a world where the spiritual and physical realms intertwine. Sinners not only entertains but also educates, offering an exploration of a rich cultural heritage often overlooked in mainstream media. By highlighting the significance of mojo bags and Hoodoo practices, the film invites audiences to reflect on the enduring power of ancestral traditions and the importance of preserving them for future generations. As Sinners continues to captivate audiences, it stands as a testament to the resilience and depth of African American spirituality, reminding viewers of the profound connections between past and present, tradition and innovation.

SZA Walks Out Of Fan Meet-And-Greet After Being Hit By Thrown Object

Source: Christopher Polk / Getty During a recent fan meet-and-greet in Phoenix, SZA abruptly exited after being unexpectedly hit by an object thrown from the crowd. View this post on Instagram A post shared by HOT 97 (@hot97) The Grammy-winning artist was taking time to connect with fans before her joint performance with Kendrick Lamar when the incident occurred. In a now widely shared video, SZA appears cheerful and engaged as she signs autographs and interacts with supporters. However, the atmosphere quickly changes when someone throws a bracelet that strikes her on the side of the head. Clearly taken aback, she immediately steps away without saying a word, trailed closely by her security team as confusion spreads through the gathering. The incident has reignited conversations around concert and event safety, particularly the growing trend of fans throwing items at performers. Many online have criticized the lack of respect shown to artists in vulnerable moments of direct fan interaction. Away from the chaos in Phoenix, SZA has recently been making headlines for speaking out in support of Megan Thee Stallion. As Tory Lanez's legal team continues to challenge Megan's claims regarding her 2020 shooting, SZA addressed the renewed skepticism in a sharp Instagram comment. Reacting to a video attempting to discredit Megan, she expressed disbelief at how many people feel comfortable publicly mocking someone who has been confirmed as a victim. 'Y'all really bullying a woman out loud with no shame?' she wrote. Her comment has been praised for defending Megan amid a broader call for accountability in how the public treats survivors of violence.

‘Special' Jack Draper and Gael Monfils embrace brings out the best of the French Open

When Jack Draper and Gael Monfils met at the net at the end of their epic late-night French Open battle, they fell into each other's arms. They had put on a dazzling show. The thrilling Monfils, ever the entertainer, rose to the challenge and had the home fans pleading for more. With a fifth set beckoning, Draper dug deep. He won the final four games in a row to win a classic, 6-3 4-6 6-3 7-5. Not bad for your debut on Court Philippe-Chatrier, silencing the raucous crowd just as the 38-year-old Monfils whipped them into a frenzy. 'It was special to be a part of tonight,' Draper told TNT Sports. 'Massive respect to Gael on and off the court, for what he brings. He makes it so tough. But I was happy with how I competed in a really tough environment.' Advertisement It should have gone to a fifth. Monfils came out swinging, repelling Draper at every turn, and then breaking the British No 1. When Monfils saved five break points to lead 5-2, requiring a double bounce off the net-cord to stay ahead, it seemed as if the veteran Frenchman would go fighting late into the night. He had delved deep into the box of tricks, moving superbly, and was in inspired form. 'A great night. A great match,' said Monfils.

He had done so in the opening round, recovering from an early injury when he smashed into the advertising hoardings to battle from two sets down and defeat Hugo Dellien. Once again, Monfils looked to be winding back the clock. He had absorbed a lightning start from Draper, the fifth seed, and turned it into a proper contest. Draper may have been taking to Chatrier for the first time, but the 23-year-old looked comfortable going the distance. He has been a different player since his series of five-set epics at the Australian Open in January, and is growing on confidence on the clay with each passing match. Draper saved two set points on serve at 5-4, finding big serves to stay alive. It was clutch and he stayed cool. Advertisement '5-3, 30-Love. Every point was hard,' Monfils said. 'I was really returning the balls very well. He really played his game well. Honestly, I couldn't do a lot. I played my forehand down the line. It went out. And he played well after that.' Draper admitted his brain had been 'fried' earlier on, as Monfils turned the match around by mixing up his game and producing a variety that had Draper's head spinning. 'What an experience, what a battle against someone I admire as a tennis player,' he said. 'Off the court, the guy is so nice. He's a joker, he's a magician, I hope he makes it back here one more time.' Monfils was beginning to limp as Draper levelled the fourth set. He sensed his moment to strike and his heavy top-spin forehand found its mark to get over the line. Afterwards, the Frenchman was just as effusive in his praise of his opponent. 'I love this player. I love the way he plays,' Monfils said. Up next for Draper? The 18-year-old Joao Fonseca, Brazil's rising star. Both players will be looking to reach the fourth round of the French Open for the first time. Advertisement There is already guaranteed to be one British player in the last-16, with Cameron Norrie and Jacob Fearnley through to play each other. Norrie defeated the Argentine lucky loser Federico Agustin Gomez in straight-sets, while Fearnley, who is making his Roland Garros debut, advanced when Frenchman Ugo Humbert retired injured while trailing 6-4 4-4. Fearnley holds up his hands after making it through to the French Open third round for the first time (Getty Images) Humbert, the 22nd seed, went over his right ankle as he ran sideways behind the baseline. He immediately held his right calf went off the court for treatment. Humbert attempted to play on but immediately lost his serve before walking to the net to shake hands. 'Obviously happy to be in the third round. But definitely not the way I would have wanted to do it,' Fearnley said. A reward for either Norrie or Fearnley could be a last-16 clash with Novak Djokovic, who will next play qualifier Filip Misolic. Djokovic defeated Frenchman Corentin Moutet in straight-sets, while there were also victories for Alexander Zverev and Jannik Sinner, who retired the 38-year-old Richard Gasquet with a 6-3 6-0 6-4 on the Frenchman's final Roland Garros appearance. There were defeats for second-round Katie Boulter and Sonay Kartal. Boulter suffered a heavy defeat to Madison Keys, the Australian Open champion, going down 6-1 6-3 on Chatrier while Kartal was beaten 6-1 6-4 by Marie Bouzkova. Second seed Coco Gauff, third seed Jessica Pegula and sixth seed Mirra Andreeva all enjoyed wins in straight-sets.
