Supermodel Tyra Banks feels a lot better at her current weight, and she believes she looks better, too.
During Tuesday’s appearance on Live with Kelly and Michael, Banks watched a clip from 20 years ago in 1995 and gasped at her appearance.
“Do you see how skinny I was?” she asked. “I was so skinny!”
Kelly Ripa was quick to jump in and say that she believes Banks “looks better now” and asked, “What’s the secret?”
“Some a**,” Banks said.

“I think it’s gaining weight,” she added. “I look like a different person now because I have more weight on my body and face.”
Banks then suggested that the fashion industry wants models to stay skinny because “maybe fabric costs more when you’ve got more a**” but then became more serious. “I really don’t think that’s what it is, I really think that designers just think clothes look better on somebody smaller. I disagree,” she said.
The positive comments about her own body come just months after Banks took to Instagram in a scathing rant against the current fashion industry. In her social media post, Banks noted that even in her heyday as a model, she was a healthy size six, and she blasted the unrealistic expectations of the current fashion trends.
