But instead of welcoming her new recruits in open arms Tyra Banks has mocked the models-in-the-making in a film clip for her new series of America’s Next Top Model.
Portraying three very different girls the 37-year-old model made fun of the young girls to her hoping to recreate her success.

In the video, shown just before the first show of cycle 16, Tyra interprets three very different girls, a sweet and innocent 19-year-old, a fierce and determined young lady and an edgier rocker type.
Dressed in a long blonde wig as the clueless and overexcited caricature Tyra proclaimed that she really wanted to be America’s next big thing and said her favourite designer was ‘Hello Kitty’ and said she would do anything but ‘cut her hair’.
Next came the aggressive and type who declared that she wasn’t taking part ‘to make friends’ as Tyra portrayed the ambitious and feisty recruit.
Finally Tyra donned a short jet black wig, dark makeup and a floor length black gown for her finally impression of the girl who just doesn’t care.
The gothic Tyra declared that she didn’t want to be there and said that she didn’t know the first thing about what she was doing.
The promo video came ahead of the first show of the series which has enjoyed considerable success in the U.S. and around the globe in spin off shows.
Tyra, who has enjoyed a lengthy and successful modeling career, has managed to cultivate a TV brand from her model series as well as her own self-titled show.
The video cameo went ahead of the introduction of her newest batch of rookies as the first show in the series aired in America last night.
Tyra has taken to Twitter to promote her show and posted a photo of herself along with the caption: ‘You think we're PLAYIN'?! Watch Top Model's premiere TONIGHT!’
And the first show certainly didn’t disappoint with plenty of cringe-worthy moments to enjoy including the girls having to walk in Alexander Wang on a water runway inside a plastic bubble.
But while Tyra’s professional life is going from strength to strength her personal life was troublesome towards the end of last year.
In October Tyra Banks was granted a temporary restraining order against her 'mentally unstable stalker' Marten Williams Jr.
In documents filed at LA County Superior Court by her attorney, Evan Spiegel, the supermodel turned talk show host states: 'I am in fear from Mr. Williams for my personal safety, and that of those around me, including my family and employees.'
The model also claimed the man had a history of mental illness - and that he believes 'he killed George Bush Jr. and that Michael Jackson is alive and well and living in Long Beach.'
In addition, she claimed 39-year-old 6'2", 220lb Williams has left several 'ominous frightening letters and items' at her home, including his prescription medication, L.A. County jail wristbands and note referencing a wedding ceremony set for 1/08/11 - the day he believes he and Tyra are set to marry.
She alleged that Williams has 'targeted and harassed and stalked' her and her family for the past four years.
U.S. website TMZ reports that Williams had been arrested just earlier this month for trespassing on Tyra's Beverly Hills property.
At the time Williams told police he was bringing Tyra 'offerings.'
He was later placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold ... but Tyra's people believe he may have already been released.
In the documents Tyra requested that Williams stayed at least 100 yards away from her and her family.
