The supermodel, who starred in the original television movie, _Life-Size_, 18 years ago, alongside [Lindsay Lohan](http://time.com/5410792/lindsay-lohan-instagram-video-woman-refugees-child-abduction/), will be bringing Eve back to a brand new audience with a sequel film that involves Eve helping a millennial CEO with a quarter-life crisis. The model shared a sneak peek of the upcoming film with [_Entertainment Weekly_](https://ew.com/tv/life-size-2-photos-tyra-banks/#tyra-banks-is-all-dolled-up-for-life-size-2), showing off Eve’s bold new looks and disclosing that the new movie will have a special remixed version of Eve’s very important contribution to pop culture, the song, “Be a Star.” “It’s like a remix. You know the Diana Ross song ‘I’m Coming Out’ and how \[the Notorious B.I.G. and\] Puff Daddy did it over \[in ‘Mo Money Mo Problems’\]?” Banks, who had [a short-lived bout as an aspiring singer](https://ew.com/music/2018/04/02/tyre-banks-shake-ya-body-failed-music-career/), said. “It’s like that, or when Jay-Z did ‘Hard Knock Life.’” See a first-look of Tyra as Eve in _Life-Size 2_ below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5416030/tyra-banks-life-size-2-preview/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5416030/tyra-banks-life-size-2-preview/"},"headline":"Tyra Banks Channels Barbie for Her Return as Eve in the Life-Size Sequel","datePublished":"2018-10-04T20:42:29.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:55:17.331Z","description":"Shine bright, shine far!","url":"https://time.com/5416030/tyra-banks-life-size-2-preview/","keywords":["Newsfeed","entertainment"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt93030521729584f3/69893be7096a943f256a39c5/tyra-banks-life-size-2-preview.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt93030521729584f3/69893be7096a943f256a39c5/tyra-banks-life-size-2-preview.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Tyra Banks And Carolyn London Discuss Their New Book \"Perfect Is Boring\"","caption":"Tyra Banks And Carolyn London Discuss Their New Book \"Perfect Is Boring\"","creditText":"Dimitrios Kambouris—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5416030/tyra-banks-life-size-2-preview/","name":"Tyra Banks Channels Barbie for Her Return as Eve in the Life-Size Sequel"}}]}] ```
