She’s a red-hot TV mogul, hot on Oprah’s heels as the queen of day-time TV – but it seems multi-tasking former supermodel Tyra Banks can’t resist Gossip Girl either.
The creator and host of America’s Next Top Model, Tyra has taken a guest role on the the glossy teen drama, and was yesterday spotted on its bustling NYC set.
Disappointingly, she kept her outfit under wraps, and what appeared to a black chiffon gown was hidden under the floor-length navy robe she teamed with comfy Uggs.
Looking glamorous despite the robe, the 35-year-old Californian unveiled a chic 1920’s waved hairdo, pendulous diamond earrings and dramatic eye make-up.
Co-star Blake Lively, meanwhile, was must more obliging.
Dressed in a short grey dress and statement heels, she displayed the fashion nous that is quickly earning her style-icon status.
Appearing in one episode only, Tyra is playing Ursula Nyquist – a larger than life an actress who Serena must control at the premi?re of her latest movie.
It’s not Tyra’s first foray in acting, however.
After a modelling career that saw her grace the covers of Vogue, Cosmo, Elle and Harper’s Bazaar, she appeared alongside Will Smith on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
Roles in Coyote Ugly and Halloween: Resurrection followed, before she launched America’s Next Top Model in 2003.
Two years later, the former Victoria’s Secret pin-up re-branded herself as a chat-show host, with the Tyra Banks Show.
Often dubbed ‘America’s next top mogul’, she was recently named as one of the world’s most influential people by Time magazine.
