Tyra Banks brings back her ‘Life-Size’ character to celebrate ‘Barbie’

Eve is still shining bright and shining far.

Tyra Banks slipped back into character as her beloved “Life-Size” alter ego, Eve, on Instagram Thursday in honor of the “Barbie” movie finally hitting theaters.

The former “Dancing With the Stars” host shared a snap of herself all dolled up in in a coral dress with ruffled shoulders and an iridescent gemstone necklace.

“Ken, you’re leaving me for WHO??? 😭” the 49-year-old supermodel jokingly captioned the snap.

Banks wore her long hair in a half-up/half-down ‘do while talking on a pastel-colored cellphone.

Although it has been two decades since “Life-Size” debuted on TV, fans were overjoyed by Eve’s triumphant return.

“they fumbled the bag not having you in Barbie… your press looks would’ve been iconic,” one fan commented.

“Ken made a huge mistake! Eve is better,” another quipped. 

“Eve walked so Barbie could run in 2023!!!” a third declared. 

Unfortunately, the former Victoria’s Secret Angel’s “Life-Size” co-star Lindsay Lohan didn’t join for the throwback snap, as she just welcomed her first child.

Released in 2000, the made-for-TV cult classic follows Banks’ Eve, a doll who comes to life after a middle-schooler (played by Lohan) attempts to resurrect her mother with a spell.

The Disney Channel flick was followed by “Life-Size 2: A Christmas Eve” in 2018, which starred Banks and Francia Raisa (despite Banks wanting Lohan to rejoin the franchise).

In 2020, Banks confirmed “Life-Size 3” was in the works on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.” Unfortunately, there haven’t been any updates on the film since 2020; perhaps the “Barbie” movie will be enough to tide fans over.

At any rate, this sweet tribute proves Eve’s still great, no matter where she goes.
