Tyra Banks Transforms Herself Into Cindy Crawford, Kate Moss & Cara Delevingne For New Photo Project

As the host of America's Next Top Model, she is an enthusiastic supporter of her industry. And now Tyra Banks has taken the meaning of 'paying homage' to a whole new level with a series of original and amazingly well done photoshoots that transform her into other supermodels. The 39-year-old legend of her profession took to social media on Saturday to share creative snaps of herself as Cindy Crawford, Cara Delevingne and Kate Moss.

She went ahead and explained the project - via Instagram - in which she declared an intention to portray her 'friends, competitors and colleagues'

'I've put my own spin on #NYFW w/ a photo tribute in which I LITERALLY transform into some of the fiercest #SuperModels ever,' Tyra said.

In a sure twist for the photoshop-happy industry, she added: 'NO PHOTOSHOP! Unretouched. Real. Raw.' and sent big thanks to 'hours of hair & makeup!'

The famed supermodel - who is a known social media aficionado - promised 15 imitation photos, so 12 more to come. She told her followers that the number 15 is significant to her because it was the age she began her modeling career.

For the overwhelmingly accurate Cindy Crawford snap, Tyra posed on what seemed to be a bed with the supermodel's signature mole re-created on her face.

'It was amazing to be physically transformed into my idol, @CindyCrawford,' she said, in what was sure to be a flattering shout-out.

The TV presenter then re-created the look and pose of Kate Moss, in a snap where she leans against the wall. 'Hid my booty & boobies like a pro, for a pro - all to look & pose just like #SuperModel Kate Moss!' Tyra said alongside the shot.

Next was relative newcomer to the modeling scene, Cara Delevingne.

'4 hours of hair & makeup later, I've become übermodel @Caradelevingne!' said Tyra, alongside the shot in which she wears a cap similar to one in Cara's recent Instagram snap. In the shot, Tyra pulls a face to look like she's growling and looks to have darkened her eyebrows to achieve Cara's signature look.
