If you were hosting a big event, what would you wear? Naturally, you’d want something bold, attention-grabbing, and unforgettable—an outfit that ensures all eyes are on you.
That’s exactly what Tyra Banks accomplished when she hosted The Flawsome Ball in October 2012. She made a statement and stole the spotlight in a mesmerizing white and nude mermaid gown featuring striking illusion stripes that left no room for anyone to upstage her.

Even next to all of the models, her mother, Caroline, or young supermodel and Victoria’s Secret Angel Chanel Iman, Tyra Banks, still managed to steal the scene:

This gown was made by Filipino designer Francis Libiran and was made for someone like Tyra. It’s a big gown with lots of style, and you need someone with just as much personality to pull it off!
We think Tyra Banks looks fabulous in this dress, but what do you think? Is Tyra Banks in this Francis Libiran gown hypnotizing or horrible?
Francis Libiran is a designer whose pieces were featured on an episode of ‘America’s Next Top Model,’ and that’s where Tyra must’ve gotten in touch with him. We love that ANTM has become a platform for new models and new international designers, photographers, make-up artists, and the like.
