What Is Tyra Banks Doing Now? How Her Life Has Changed After ‘America’s Next Top Model’

Tyra Banks’ career took her from model mogul to businesswoman.

Banks kicked off her career as a teen, making history with several magazine covers. As she continued to rise through the ranks on runways, Banks also became known as an actress — Coyote Ugly or Life-Size, anyone?

Her onscreen persona collided with her modeling career in 2003 when America’s Next Top Model premiered. Not only did Banks serve as the show’s host, but she also took on the roles of judge and executive producer.

The three-part docuseries Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model, which premiered via Netflix in February 2026, offered an inside look at the iconic show. ANTM aired for 24 seasons before it came to an end in 2018. However, Banks hinted that the series might not be over forever.
