Tyra Banks has just gone way up in our estimation – with this no makeup selfie that she posted to Instagram.

She’s also gone on the world’s longest musing about being “raw and real”. We’re not sure anyone actually asked Tara to do this, but good effort, hen.

Tara wrote:

“You know how people say #nofilter but you know there's a freakin' filter on their pic? Or maybe there's a smidge of retouching going on but they're lying and saying it's all raw & real?”

Yes, we do Tara. Cough Lauren Goodger cough.

“Well, this morn, I decided to give you a taste of the really real me. I wanted to smooth out my dark circles so badly!!!

“But I was like, ‘Naw, Ty. Show 'em the REAL you.’ So...here I am. Raw. And there YOU are... looking at me, studying this picture.”

It’s lovely to see that Tyra refers to herself as Ty. Does anyone else have a nickname for themselves, or is it just Tyra?

“Maybe you're thinking, ‘Whoa, she looks ROUGH.’ And if you are, great! You deserve to see the REAL me. The REALLY real me. #RawAndReal.”

HASH TAG AMAZING, TYRA.

Obviously we’re mainly referring to the sentiment here, but also… that caption. It’s just so… YOU.
