Tyra Banks Might Not Have Even Won ‘America’s Next Top Model’ with This Harper’s Bazaar Vietnam Cover…

It’s not every month that the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Vietnam falls onto our radar, here at theFashionSpot. However, the magazine has our undivided attention as it welcomes one of the world’s most prolific of models onto its latest digital cover offering. Give it up for Tyra Banks, who takes to the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Vietnam, for the August 2025 digital edition of the magazine. The American model and TV personality poses for the photographer Dalvin Adams for the occasion. In the cover image, captured against a rust-colored studio backdrop, Tyra gazes down Adams’ lens wearing a Grecian-inspired dress from Los Angeles-based fashion designer Michael Costello (as chosen by cover shoot stylist Wilford Lenov).

“Tyra, darling, I love you, but I think you need to be on America’s Next Top Model to learn some lessons and take notes,” called out DK92 upon seeing the cover.

“Chin down, Tyra,” remarked jeremydante.

“I like Tyra. She’s a beautiful woman but she is everything except a model. A celebrity… not an evocative model,” Gonzalo critiqued.

“She won’t be winning her own reality show with this cover,” stated oaklee91.

Forum member br3ncon1 declared: “High fashion model she is not!”

Yet not everyone was so dismayed. “I actually do not find it terrible,” admitted MModa.

“To be completely honest, I’ve seen worse. Admittedly, this isn’t the best I’ve seen from Tyra Banks but by no means is it the worst. I like the big hair, the power shoulders, and the rust colours. The portrait shot of Tyra in the strapless grey shot is the strongest out of the bunch!” enthused vogue28.
