“Know what I hear all the time?” Tyra said in her vid. “‘Tyra, come on! Why have an age limit?’ So you know what? I’m taking that age limit off. You want to audition for America’s Next Top Model?

Like always, Tyra is totally on pulse with the rest of the fashion industry, which has lately seen a surge in older women giving new life to the modeling industry. Lingerie brand Lonely just featured a 56-year-old woman in their latest campaign, according to the Huffington Post, and HM included a 60-year-old model in its 2016 swimsuit campaign, according to Today. Before that, major fashion brand Céline featured esteemed octegenarian writer Joan Didion in a major fashion ad in 2015, per the New York Times, and Yves Saint Laurent featured a 71-year-old Joni Mitchell in a 2015 campaign. We’ll take this as proof that the smize only gets better with age.
