Tyra Banks looks effortlessly chic in a plaid trench coat at Burberry 57th Street store reopening
She divided fans at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show earlier this week when she closed the revived runway show.
But Tyra Banks stood on solid ground Wednesday as she impressed at the grand reopening of Burberry’s 57th Street store in New York City.
The 50-year-old supermodel was covered in one of the brand’s iconic trench coats as she put on a show for the camera.
She celebrated the return of Burberry’s three-storey flagship store after a 16-month renovation.
Tyra and the rest of the celebrity guests were treated to cocktails and dinner to mark the British luxury brand’s return to its massive headquarters.

Fittingly, she was dressed in one of Burberry’s most iconic pieces: a trench coat.
Although Burberry coats have become shorter over the years as the brand has chased current trends, Tyra was decked out in an elegant long trench coat that paid tribute to the classic design.
The hem of the jacket reached almost to her ankles, making it look like a dress.
She stuck with another classic detail: a tan coat, but enlivened it with a hypnotic black, white and orange plaid pattern.
Tyra didn’t let the coat get too full and instead opted for a casual style by rolling her sleeves up to her elbows.
She kept up the carefree look by simply tying the belt around her midriff.
The runway star contrasted the earth tones of the coat with white mules with long, square toes and large buttons adorning the top.
She carried a pouch-shaped, gold sequin-covered handbag with a thick metal chain, and she wore her caramel-colored hair in long, voluminous curls spread over her shoulders.
During the reopening celebration, Tyra was pictured catching up with another age-defying beauty, Cher.

Tyra’s appearance at the party comes after she impressed as the closing model at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Tuesday, marking a return for the fashion show after a nearly six-year absence.
Many fans praised her ‘iconic’ comeback to the catwalk, but others were disappointed by the surprisingly conservative outfit she was dressed in, consisting of a sparkling black corset and bra with matching leggings and heels.
