'Dancing With the Stars': Tyra Banks' Gravity Defying Hat Raises Eyebrows
While some dancers appear to defy gravity on the ballroom floor during Dancing With the Stars, [...]
My mom just said, “I think the TV is coming in clearer with that satellite dish Tyra’s wearing on her head.” 😂 #DWTS

Banks' outfits appear to have no rhyme or reason to them each week, but Banks explained there are certain rules she has for her costumes. "You have to play to your strengths, so I play to making sure that the waist is snatched — because, if it's not, I'm well-endowed naturally and it can look a little bit like a mumu," the former America's Got Talent host explained. "I have very broad shoulders and sometimes the dress doesn't really cover the shoulder... so it's got to be wide enough up here."

When the costumers are trying out looks for Banks, she often has to ask them to make major changes before the episodes begin. "Sometimes I put something on and I'm like, 'Okay, they obviously don't know I got a booty,' cause it's something like off the runway," Banks explained to Entertainment Tonight. "Yes I used to model, I did fashion shows, fashion weeks, all across the globe — but I don't have that body anymore. But for some reason, designers just think, 'Oh she was a model, let's give her this size four.' Honey, can you add a ten to that?"

The most consistent thing about #DWTS this year is it always starts with me going “what is Tyra wearing”

One fan pointed out that the "most consistent" feeling fans have during this season is the sudden shock of seeing what Banks is wearing to start a show. Banks was hired over the summer as the new host after producers chose to take the series in a new direction following 15 years of Tom Bergeron as host.

"I say this every week, but what on EARTH is Tyra wearing," one fan wrote. "Why is Tyra wearing a Sugar Hill Gang album on her noggin?" another fan asked, referencing the hip hop group.

Fans still clearly miss Bergeron, who has been humoring fans on social media since he left the series. Last week, he endorsed a spin-off called Drinking With the Stars. It seems doubtful ABC would like that idea.

"Is Tyra trying to communicate with the Voyager probe with that hat?" one person joked about Banks' hat. "Watching #DWTS and I've gotta admit, Tyra gets a 10 for being annoying! That hat! Yikes! She's just not right for the ballroom!" another person wrote.
