Tyra Banks Returns For Netflix's America's Next Top Model Docuseries
Source: Christopher Polk / Getty Tyra Banks is stepping back into the spotlight of America's Next Top Model (ANTM) —but this time, behind the scenes. In a rare move, the supermodel-turned-TV mogul has agreed to participate in an upcoming Netflix documentary chronicling the history of the iconic modeling competition series. Read more inside. Entertainment Weekly exclusively reported that the Netflix and EverWonder Studio produced docuseries will offer a deep dive into the legacy of ANTM , which ran for 24 cycles from 2003 to 2018. Banks, who hosted and executive produced 23 of those seasons, sat down for an interview that will be featured in the multi-episode series. While no premiere date has been announced, the documentary promises to explore the highs and lows of the show that helped shape the reality TV landscape and redefine beauty standards. Although Banks rarely revisits the series in long-form projects, her recent public reflections suggest she's ready to engage with the show's complex legacy. At the 2025 Essence Black Women in Hollywood event, she acknowledged past missteps, saying she 'said some dumb s—' on the show, while also defending ANTM 's role in advancing diversity on television during a time when it was sorely lacking. Over the years, ANTM has faced growing criticism, especially after fans began reevaluating the show during the pandemic. Former contestants have spoken out about problematic photo shoots, including racially insensitive challenges and reports of misconduct. In EW 's 20th anniversary oral history published in 2023, cycle 4 alum Keenyah Hill defended one controversial shoot, distinguishing between artistic intent and racial mockery. Banks' team has also responded to backlash, explaining that the show's more provocative concepts were attempts to challenge industry norms that idolized lighter skin and straighter hair. 'The intention was to spotlight underrepresented beauty ideals,' a spokesperson told EW , referencing photo shoots that featured textured hair and darker skin. Despite the controversies, ANTM 's influence is undeniable. It launched the careers of numerous models, sparked global spinoffs, and helped Banks build an entertainment empire. Though the show hasn't returned since its final cycle aired in 2018—and no 25th season is currently in the works—the upcoming Netflix docuseries offers fans a chance to revisit the show through a more critical and reflective lens. With Banks back at the center of the conversation, ANTM is once again ready for its close-up.

Can you spot footy great Anthony Minichiello's VERY bold new look as he steps out with his TV star wife Terry Biviano at A-list party?
Rugby league great Anthony Minichiello has been spotted wearing makeup on Saturday night while he attended the prestigious Silver Party in Sydney with his wife. The former Roosters star, 44, attended the exclusive bash with Terry Biviano at the Vaucluse home of Merivale boss Justin Hemmes, The Hermitage. The couple were joined by more than 300 guests from the A-list for the party, which had a 'rock royalty' theme and raises funds for the Sydney Children's Hospitals Foundation. Minichiello, who still appears fit enough to play in the NRL, looked sharp in a black suit with his shirt unbuttoned to show off his chest. The ex-footy star also appeared to be wearing eyeliner, which is a fairly common occurrence for male celebrities at red carpet events. Terry looked radiant in a lacy grey sequinned gown as the couple posed for photos. The couple are currently working on the redevelopment of their own Vaucluse property, which has been undergoing extensive renovations for about a decade. Supermodel and television icon Tyra Banks brought a dose of Hollywood glamour to the event, making a powerful fashion statement in a tailored pinstripe suit that fused elegance with edge. She paired the structured look with bold accessories and a sleek hairstyle, commanding attention as she arrived at the Vaucluse venue in style. Joining her at the glittering soirée was model Madeline Holtznagel, who proudly showed off her growing baby bump as she stepped out with her billionaire partner and event host Justin Hemmes. The 28-year-old beauty looked radiant in a strapless black gown featuring a sheer midriff that put her blossoming belly on display. With her brunette locks styled in an elegant updo and subtle, glowing makeup, Madeline was the picture of maternal glamour. Her partner Justin, 52, matched her sophistication in a perfectly tailored black suit, looking every bit the dashing dad-to-be, as he hosted the A-Listed stars at his lavish mansion in the upmarket Sydney suburb of Vaucluse called The Hermitage. Elsewhere at the event, Today show host Karl Stefanovic and his wife Jasmine were all smiles as they made a dramatic entrance in stylish outfits that turned heads upon arrival.

Nova radio favourite Michael 'Wippa' Wipfli, 45, also stepped out for the exclusive soirée alongside his wife Lisa. The couple looked loved-up as they posed for cameras, with Wippa keeping it classic in a smart red tuxedo while Lisa stunned in a floor-length maroon dress adorned with a delicate floral lace pattern. Since its inception in 2001, the Silver Party has raised over $10 million in support of the state's most critically ill children, funding vital equipment, research, and life-saving treatments across the Sydney Children's Hospitals Network.
