Pro tip: POP in your photo by wearing colors that will contrast with your background.💛This solid yellow works best when standing against a uniform colored background, such as a clean wall or the sky!☀️#ModelLandTips (Extra point to Jeyźa for wearing @tyrabanks fave color!)

Beverly even offered her a bedroom in her home! Tyra had an NYC residence already but was super touched by the generous offer, and to this day has the utmost respect for Beverly Johnson - The trailblazer. The icon. The generous heart.
