Tyra Banks Says She ‘Has Not Had Age Plastic Surgery’ Ahead of 50th Birthday

Tyra Banks is all about embracing her age.

In an interview with People, the supermodel and business owner opened up about her upcoming milestone birthday and why she's feeling empowered moving into her next decade.

"I look in the mirror and I don't feel 50," Banks said. "I think 50 is the new 30s. When I look in the mirror, I don't see it. I have not had age plastic surgery stuff. Not against it. I just haven't had it yet. Maybe I'll need a little something something — I am 50 even though I'm not [yet]. But I'm not insecure about it."

"I keep saying I'm 50, even though I'm not, as an excuse. When people ask me I say, 'I ain't doing that — I'm 50,'" she jokes. "Or, 'I'm just going to tell you what I think, because I'm 50.'"

Banks, who is starring in fashion designer Karen Millen's latest ICONS campaign, admitted that she's gotten to a point in her career where she only takes on modeling gigs in which she feels comfortable. For Banks, participating in Millen's campaign was an easy, 'Yes.'

"I don't have the body I used to have when I was on runways, and so to have these clothes fit me like this ... it's rare to have a tailored piece look good on curves," Banks said. "I feel empowered. Sometimes I'll go to a photo shoot and I'll be like, 'This stuff ain't going to fit me. It ain't going to fit right.' I'm going to have to do all these tricks and stuff. But I feel proud to have these clothes and that they look so good."

As for her plans to celebrate the big day in December, Banks said she has her eyes set on the happiest place on earth: Disneyland!

"My man, he wanted to throw this huge 50-year-old birthday for me and I kind of found out about it," said Banks, who's reportedly dating businessman Louis Bélanger-Martin. "I let him know, I have no desire to do that. I just want to go to Disneyland with the family."
