Supermodel Tyra Banks turned heads with a dramatic new appearance over the weekend, looking strikingly different from her usual self at a lavish Middle Eastern fashion event.
A Transformed Appearance in Doha
The Victoria's Secret veteran showcased an unexpected style transformation during the Fashion Trust Arabia 2025 Awards Ceremony at the National Museum of Qatar on November 22. The 51-year-old beauty sported short blonde hair and heavier makeup than her typical look, complemented by a gold bustier and floor-length black skirt that concealed her famous legs.
Fellow Hollywood star Lindsay Lohan also graced the event, stunning attendees in a strapless black gown adorned with diamonds. The pair share a cinematic history that dates back decades.
Reviving a Beloved Franchise
Banks and Lohan previously collaborated on the 2000 television movie Life-Size, where Banks played a fashion doll magically brought to life opposite Lohan's character Casey Stuart. The former lingerie model has recently expressed strong interest in creating a third instalment of the beloved franchise.
During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, Banks enthusiastically stated: 'I feel like we should do one.' She even proposed an intriguing plot twist that would see Lohan's character experiencing life as a doll, with Banks' Eve character guiding her through the transformation.
Long-standing Sequel Hopes
Banks has been openly discussing the potential for Life-Size 3 since 2020, when she mentioned working on the project during an episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. Her enthusiasm for the sequel reignited this past summer after visiting a Polly Pocket-themed Airbnb, prompting her to publicly reach out to Lohan via Instagram with the message: 'guess it's time to visit this lil place and dream up another script. What say you, @lindsaylohan?'
While Banks reprised her role as Eve in the 2018 sequel Life-Size 2: A Christmas Eve, Lohan did not participate in that production. The original film featured a then-13-year-old Lohan as a grieving teenager who accidentally brings a doll to life while attempting to resurrect her deceased mother.
Beyond her modelling and film career, Banks has also appeared on popular competition shows including Dancing With The Stars, demonstrating her versatility as an entertainer and businesswoman who continues to make waves in the fashion and entertainment industries.
