Tyra Banks suited up for an appearance on “The Late Late Show With James Corden.”

Banks arrived onstage with “Hamilton” actor Leslie Odom Jr., wearing a sharp black skirt suit by Dolce and Gabbana. Her set was paired with a matching silk blouse, creating a monochrome moment. Banks’ look also gained elevated glamour from a pair of sparkly diamond-shaped hoop earrings.

The “America’s Next Top Model” creator paired her business-worthy ensemble with pointed-toe black pumps, also by D&G. Her mesh Retina style featured black bejeweled Mary Jane straps with floral accents, as well as stiletto heels totaling at least 3 inches in height. When worn with the skirt suit, her pumps gave her look an instantly elegant finish. Banks’ shoes retail for $995 on Bloomingdales.com.

During her interview, Banks discussed her viral outfit from this week’s episode of “Dancing With the Stars.” The reality show host humorously referred to her flared-sleeve dress, which social media users compared to dinosaurs from “Jurassic Park,” as a “Tyra-nnosaurus Rex” look. “But I don’t really care, child. Different is what? Better than better,” Banks said. “You’ve gotta push and go for it.”
