Tyra Banks thinks models have "so much pressure".
The America's Next Top Model host believes it is much harder for those wanting to break into the fashion industry now than it was when she started out.
In a post on Instagram, she wrote: "Models have so much pressure today. They
have to look good on AND off the set. They have to arrive backstage at fashion shows looking and dressed as if they are already ON a runway. They have to be slimmer than slim. Skinnier than skinny.
"They have to compete with actresses, recording artists and reality stars for magazine covers and ad campaigns. They have to have tons of followers on social media to book top notch jobs. And they have to do selfies that make them look relatable, but not TOO relatable, because then people may comment that they don't understand, 'Why the heck is THAT girl a friggin' model??!!!!' (sic)"
Meanwhile, the 41-year-old supermodel recently took to the photo sharing site to post a selfie of her without make up on.
