Tyra Banks strips in New York

Tyra Banks strips in New YorkFormer model Tyra Banks has stripped - sort of - to promote the upcoming season of her talk show.

Posing in New York�s Union Square, Banks stripped to promote the move of The Tyra Banks Show to the CW network - the same network that airs Banks' America�s Next Top Model reality TV contest.

Tyra stripped down to her knickers, actually a body suit, and said her new season would be about "celebrating inner and outer beauty and owning and rocking what you�ve got".

Banks has always been outspoken about women's body images and the media's perception of them.

A few years ago, several celebrity publications ran some rather unflattering pictures of Banks in a bathing suit.

Afterward, she went on her own media campaign to respond, saying things to the effect of, "so what. I am who I am, and this is the body I have."

Banks will go another step further for the show's September 8 premiere.

She will take the weave out of her hair and appear au naturel. "No fake hair," Banks said in a release promoting the show.

"I'm rocking my REAL hair."
