Through the years, Tyra Banks has made sure to show her support for Filipina beauties. Among them was the time she approved of Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach's smize and when she applauded Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray's "lava walk." Recently, it could also be remembered that Tyra cheered for Miss Universe Philippines 2021 Rabiya Mateo, after her top 21 placement in Miss Universe 2020. And now, Tyra has yet again showed support to another Filipina in Miss Universe by leaving a comment on Chelsea Manalo's photo.

A lot of people were wowed by Chelsea Manalo's official headshot. The Internet commented about the strong elegance and charisma that Chelsea oozing. And it seems that Tyra was among those who noticed. So much so that the American model made sure Chelsea knew by commenting, "Get it, girl!" But this comment isn't the only thing this fangirl is celebrating because the America's Next Top Model host followed the Bulakenya beauty on Instagram, too!
Tyra recently made an epic comeback on the runway at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in October after two decades following her retirement.
Many were quick to spot the comment, sharing the excitement. But if anyone would be the most elated about this, it would be Chelsea herself. In a previous interview, Chelsea mentioned how Tyra was a big inspiration to her. "Actually, isa sa mga tao na nag-inspire sa akin at a very young age was Ms. Tyra Banks. Noong napanood ko kasi 'yung America's Next Top Model, siya yung host tapos gandang ganda ako sa kaniya—her eyes, 'yung color niya, yung smile niya," she quipped.
Chelsea made history as the first Filipina-African American queen to be crowned as Miss Universe Philippines.
