Supermodel Tyra Banks shocked fans with her "unrecognizable" face leaving some to wonder if she's undergone plastic surgery again, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Banks, 51, returned to her fashion roots when she attended the inaugural Le Grand Dîner du Louvre, an exhibition held at the iconic museum to kick off Paris Fashion Week.
Banks declared her evening at Le Grand Dîner du Louvre marked a 'new beginning.'
The America's Next Top Model host wore a black structured bustier which she paired with a floor length black embellished blazer complete with tassels. She hit her signature "smize" as she posed with her hands on her hips.
She posted on Instagram: "Last night, I officially stepped back into the Paris fashion world at Le Grand Dîner du Louvre—and for the first time ever, I was inside the Louvre.
"Back in the '90s, when I was strutting Paris Fashion Week twice a year, the runway shows were outside the museum. So stepping inside—surrounded by centuries of art and history, with designer pieces woven into the exhibits—was absolutely spellbinding. I was in awe. I was shook. I was like… is this even real?"
Fans couldn't get past Banks' 'unrecognizable' look at the Paris event.
Banks teased a comeback as she concluded her post.
She added: "This is just the beginning. A new beginning. And I am so excited to take all of YOU on this journey with me. Because you're never too old to DREAM and never too young to SMiZE. So keep dreaming. No matter your age. Paris, je t’aime!"
While her Instagram followers rushed to the comment section to gush over her "stunning" look and declared she was "back," other social media users couldn't get past how different the model appeared in her latest photos.
Fans wondered if Banks had a nose job.
On Facebook, one user commented: "She looks nothing like herself," while another added, "She looks different."
Many were perplexed over how different her nose appeared, even after she previously admitted to having a nose job early in her career.
One mocked: "Who’s nose she got on?" and another joined in, "Her nose is almost gone."
A fourth simply said she was "unrecognizable."
Others pondered: "What has she done?" while one snarky comment read, "She chopped up her face too much."
Social media users claimed she had similar plastic surgery as actress Demi Moore.
