Tyra Banks
Tyra Banks became the first Black woman to appear on the covers of both the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and the Victoria's Secret catalog during her modeling career in the 1990s, breaking significant representation barriers within two of the industry's most prominent commercial platforms. Banks's later transition into television, creating and hosting "America's Next Top Model" beginning in 2003, gave her an unusually direct and lasting influence shaping how a generation of aspiring models and the broader public understood the modeling industry's inner workings and standards. Her successful pivot from modeling into television production, hosting, and business ventures demonstrated one of the most extensive career transitions of any former supermodel, building a media and business career that ultimately extended well beyond and outlasted her original modeling fame. Tyra Banks's combination of her barrier-breaking modeling career firsts and her industry-shaping "America's Next Top Model" television franchise has made her one of the most influential supermodels in modern fashion and media history.
VS
Heidi Klum
Heidi Klum was discovered through a German modeling competition in 1992 and rose to international prominence after appearing on the cover of the 1998 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, becoming one of the most recognizable faces of the Victoria's Secret Angels lineup throughout the late 1990s and 2000s. Klum's transition into television, co-creating and hosting "Project Runway" beginning in 2004 and later becoming a judge on "America's Got Talent," established her as one of the most successful former supermodels to build a lasting career as a television host and producer. Her elaborate, widely covered annual Halloween costume parties in New York City became a genuine pop culture event unto themselves, with Klum's increasingly ambitious costumes generating significant annual media coverage independent of her modeling or television work. Heidi Klum's combination of her prominent Victoria's Secret Angel modeling career and her successful long-running television hosting career has made her one of the most versatile and enduringly visible supermodels in modern entertainment.
