Tyra Banks is a Glamour Woman of the Year

Tyra Banks is a Glamour Woman of the Year

Tyra Banks was honoured at the Glamour Womeon of the Year awards on November 10. Other honorees included Condoleeza Rice, Hillary Clinton, Jane Goodall, Kara Walker and child bride Najood Ali from Yemen. Glamour selected some truly strong and inspiring women this year.

Tyra went for an understated look for the awards, with simple hair and a modest dress. It’s definitely one of her better looks this year and fits with the the tone of the ceremony.
