Tyra Banks host donned a series of sexy outfits and struck a plethora of poses during a photo shoot in the Soho district of Manhattan.

The 35-year-old talk show host will soon be showing off her acting skills in episode 4 of Gossip Girl on Monday, October 5th.

The many faces of Tyra Banks launched the Oxygen Media party for America’s Next Top Model: Obsessed at Gotham Hall in New York City last night.

Although Tyra Banks won her Emmy for Outstanding Talking Show in the Informative category, she knows that Oprah is still the big momma.

She said: “I want to thank Oprah Winfrey for her inspiration. She is the queen. She will always be the queen”.

Yesterday Tyra got serious as she and previous America’s Next Top Model contestants Claire Unabia, Saliesha Cooper and Jaslene Gonzalez joined New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to plant an Oak tree on Ninth Avenue as part of the Million Tree Month and as a commemoration of the 600th episode of the The Tyra Banks Show.

And a tree wasn’t the only thing Tyra planted. Before the day was over she had planted a nice wet kiss right on cheek of Michael Bloomberg. Oh Tyra!

Tyra Banks held her first Annual Fiercee Awards in New York City, an event to honor the women of America’s Next Top Model.

Tyra did look fabulous, though, it had to be said, in a dramatic red dress exactly the same colour as the Fiercee Awards red carpet.
