In June 2018, Tyra Banks made a bold statement at the BET Awards by going “nude”—in color, that is!
The model-turned-entrepreneur rocked a monochromatic beige look in a $7,500 Stello “Blitzen” embroidered jumpsuit and clay-colored Alexander Wang “Nova” suede slingback heels styled with a honey-hued blunt bob and tan nail polish.

We feel like the whole purpose of wearing nude hues from head to toe is to create that clean, “like I’m wearing nothing” look, and Ty completely defeated that by picking busy, crystal-speckled, and metal-ball-studded beige pieces.
