Tyra Banks Made the Littiest Playlist for Your At-Home Photo Shoot

From Cosmopolitan

Hey, cutie. Just wanted to let you know that this story originally ran in our May issue, so if you like what you see, you should probably snag a hard copy ASAP. Bye!


The queen of posing has a lot going on. Between preparing for the release of her new Quibi show Beauty (she’s the star and executive producer), dreaming up her ModelLand theme park, and, oh, you know, just being Tyra, girl’s got a lot on her plate. Thankfully, she still had time to make us this ~fantastic~ playlist of jams basically made for getting you in the mood to snap an incredible pic and explained to us exactly why she loves ’em. I mean...would you expect anything less? I didn’t think so.
