Tyra Banks shares no-makeup photos to mark 50th birthday: ‘It feels damn good’

She’s looking fine at 50.

Tyra Banks showed off her natural beauty in a series of Instagram photos marking her 50th birthday on Monday, going makeup-free in a fluffy gray bathrobe for the celebratory post.

“50. I can’t believe I’ve been on this earth 🌏that many years,” the supermodel captioned her photos, adding, “I remember like yesterday my mom‘s 50th birthday party 🥳 and we celebrated her in the biggest way. It was a big one. And now it’s mine.”

Banks, who wore her hair in a bouncy, curly style with a stretchy headband, posed in front of a cake that she admitted to editing into the photo, quipping, “When you’re 50, you can photoshop your cake in because you’re too busy doing big thangs!”

She opened up about aging in the makeup-free post, writing, “So many fear getting older. That’s understandable. Things just aren’t the same anymore. Our bodies. Our energy. Our minds. 🧠.”

However, the former “Dancing with the Stars” host added, “But I gotta say, my mind is FIERCER THAN EVER. Wise, baby.”

Banks mused about her fifties, calling getting older “a blessing” and writing, “I think we have to look at aging and these big milestone years like, ‘I GET to be that age.'”

The stylish star told fans that her wish is that “you get to reach my age and BEYOND. Because it feels damn good,” throwing in a joke and adding, “What doesn’t feel so good is the damn sciatica I got from falling in a scene in Life-Size 2!!!”

Banks has shown off plenty of makeup-free photos over the years, and she also recently opened up about plastic surgery as she approached her fifth decade, revealing to People that she has “not had age plastic surgery stuff.”

“I look in the mirror and I don’t feel 50,” Banks added. “I think 50 is the new 30s.”
