Tyra Banks greeted by enthusiastic Vietnamese fans

Tyra received a warm welcome from fans of Vietnam’s Next Top Model, many of whom asked the show's organizers to send her their gifts and hand written letters.

Banks said she was moved and surprised by the fans' enthusiastic reception as she did not think she would receive such a warm welcome upon her first arrival in Vietnam.

Tyra met with the media on the morning of January 8 and will join the jury of Vietnam’s Next Top Model to choose the winner of the programme in the final round in the evening of the same day.
