Tyra Banks opened up about getting a nose job early on in her career.
The supermodel told People:
“Natural beauty is unfair. I get really uncomfortable when women who are these natural beauties judge anybody who does anything to themselves.”
Tyra continued to say about her plastic surgery:
“I had bones in my nose that were growing and itching. I could breathe fine, but I added cosmetic surgery – I admit it! Fake hair, and I did my nose. I feel I have a responsibility to tell the truth.”
She also said she’s not on board with praising the “no makeup” trend:
“We place a lot of emphasis on that. As a model, I needed makeup. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. It leveled my playing field. Gisele [Bundchen], you don’t need it? I do! And we’re both modeling for Victoria’s Secret.”
Tyra finally said that she believes women shouldn’t feel self-conscious about makeup or plastic surgery:
“If you like your natural self, don’t worry about it. But if you feel insecure about something … I have a magic bag of beauty tricks to make you who you want to be. Permanent or temporary, I do not judge that.
“Fix it or flaunt it — I think women should be able to do both. There is a boundary line, either you’re super natural or you live at the plastic surgeon. It’s okay to hop back and forth over that line. You want a hair weave? Fine. You want permanent eyebrows? Fine. We as women need to stop judging.”
