While it was expected that model Tyra Banks would have some adjustment in her first season hosting "Dancing With the Stars," the criticisms have been rampant.

This week, the model drew negative reactions from fans once more. This time, it was for her dressing on the competition reality show's semi-finals.

Banks has always made a name for trying out bold fashion looks. At the semi-finals, the model decided to try on a black gravity-defying hat to the show. While it might have looked like a safe fashion bet, fans soon turned in their sharp reactions on social media. One Twitter user said:

Another fan mocked Banks' hat by comparing it to one of the rings on the planet Saturn. The fan attached a rather unflattering image of Banks wearing the hat to make her point. Several others have piled on as well, with most of them dumping on Banks' fashion choice and expressing their displeasure.

Others have accused her of making wrong fashion choices.

It goes without saying that Banks has had to endure significant criticism from fans on her first season as the competition show's host.

Most of them initially expressed their skepticism after the show announced that Banks would replace former hosts Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews. However, the bashing has been rampant.

While most fans hit out at Banks' hosting, others have accused her of making wrong fashion choices. Another segment has accused her of trying to make the show all about herself. It has been a barrage of negative reactions.

This is not the first negative reaction that Banks' dressing will receive. The model dressed to honor rapper Nicki Minaj for the show's Icons Week, but she still got pushback.

Despite all the criticism, however, Banks remains committed to the hosting gig for now. Last month, sources revealed that the model was not overly bothered about all the negative comments.

According to reports, Banks concerns herself mostly with "Dancing With the Stars" ratings. With the ratings looking pretty good, she is satisfied.

Considering that she also works as an executive producer on the show, this is understandable. Still, the criticisms continue to mount.
