Tyra Banks had a few choice words for fans who judged her fashion on the most recent episode of “Dancing with the Stars.”
During an interview with “The Late Late Show” host James Corden, the supermodel and TV host laughed off the public criticism regarding her extravagant gown.
"People were commenting online that you had taken inspiration from 'Jurassic Park.' It is kind of uncanny. Was this part of the thought process?" Corden said as he broached the topic.
The talk show host was referring to Bank's maroon dress with wing sleeves that extended up above her face.
The supermodel explained that the look reminded her more of a peacock than a dinosaur, but since all the social media comments kept referencing “Jurassic Park,” she dubbed the look as “Ty-rassic Park.”
Even the official “Jurassic World” Twitter handle got in on the fun with a side-by-side photo of Banks and a dinosaur.
“Who wore it best?” the account captioned the image.
The 47-year-old went on to say that her stylist knew exactly what she was doing.
"My stylist was like, 'Yeah, we did know that you looked like a lizard before the social started,'" she noted.
She also revealed that she’s not really phased by the comments as she enjoys rocking fashion-forward looks that turn heads.
"I don't really care because different is what? Better than better," she said of the statement piece.
"I don't have time to be pretty and in a normal dress because nobody's going to say anything about a pretty dress,” she continued.
Banks made it very clear that she never has been and never will be about blending in when it comes to her attire: "You've got to push it and go for it.”
This isn’t the only time Banks clapped back at fans.
When news broke that she would be taking over hosting duties from Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews, some fans weren’t all that pleased and called out some of the mistakes she made during her first show.
“Every host messes up. It’s just normal. It’s live TV. If it wasn’t live, there would be no mess-ups,” Tyra added. “Even on 'America’s Next Top Model,' I would mess up and tell my editors to leave it in. That’s what makes things human.”
She continued: “If I didn’t want to mess up, if I wanted to be perfect, I know how to do that. There’s a very clear way as a host that you just read the words and you’re perfect and you know exactly how to do that."
"But when you’re relaxed and you keep it real, the mess-ups happen. And the producer in me knows that even though somebody might be like, ‘Oh, my gosh, you’re messing up!’ it’s live, and it’s real. It’s better than being like a doll," she concluded.
