Tyra Banks Recreates Her 'Life Size' Look & Fans Think They 'Fumbled the Bag' Not Casting Her in 'Barbie'

Tyra Banks revisited her iconic doll character as Eve from "Life-Size" in a humorous "Barbie" reaction picture to celebrate the recently released film. In the photo, the supermodel looks stoic as she gazes off into the distance while holding a toy cell phone up to her ear.

Tyra Banks recently took to her Instagram to celebrate "Barbie" by sharing a photo of her dressed in a vibrant necklace, high ponytail, and bright pink dress. Alongside the picture, she captioned, "Ken, you're leaving me for WHO??? 😭"

The post garnered fans' attention, with many taking to the comments section. One fan wrote, "They fumbled the bag not having you in Barbie… your press looks would've been iconic." Another one commented about Banks' character in "Life Size," she wrote, "Eve is forever my number one Barbie 😍😍😍😍😍."

In 2020, Tyra Banks shared exciting news about her upcoming projects during an interview with talk show host Andy Cohen. She revealed that she was working on "Life Size 3," which is the continuation of the popular film series.

In the first two films, Banks starred as Eve, a doll brought to life by accident. The original "Life Size" movie was released in 2000, and its sequel followed in 2018.

In 2022, during an episode of "Dancing With the Stars," Shangela, a popular contestant from "Drag Race," made a unique pitch to Tyra Banks about teaming up for a third "Life-Size" film. In her dance performance with partner Gleb Savchenko, they portrayed creepy dolls with eerie makeup, set to Taylor Swift's "Look What You Made Me Do."

Impressed by Shangela's dedication to the doll-inspired look, Tyra Banks commended her during the judges' feedback. The feedback led Shangela to seize the opportunity and pitch the idea of collaborating on another "Life-Size" movie.
