Tyra Banks Spotted With Boyfriend Erik Asla; ‘ANTM’ Co-Judge Kelly Cutrone Insists Kanye West, Kim Kardashian Not Important In Fashion World

"America's Next Top Model" creator and host Tyra Banks was spotted with her boyfriend Erik Asla at Los Angeles International Airport one before the premiere of the 21st cycle of "ANTM," Daily Mail reported.

Dressed down, the 40-year-old former supermodel was in a grey T-shirt with a giant set of red lips and vampire teeth printed on the front, a fitted black leather jacket complete with padded shoulders on over the top, three-quarter length drawstring track pants and casual running shoes.

Wearing a pair of Aviator shades, Banks also had her long dark hair down and styled in natural waves and a patterned yellow head scarf to complete her hairstyle.

Asla, on the other hand, donned a T-shirt, a blazer and jeans.

It was not confirmed where Banks and Asla were heading.

Banks met Asla, a blond-haired Norwegian photographer, in 2013 but it was only earlier this year they confirmed they were dating.

Prior to Asla, Banks was in a relationship with banker John Utendahl for four years after dating basketball player Chris Webber.

Meanwhile, Banks' fellow "ANTM" judge Kelly Cutrone reiterated her previous statement about Kanye West and Kim Kardashian having no "influence in the fashion world whatsoever" despite having graced a Vogue cover.

Although she acknowledges the West-Kardashian couple's "huge effect on pop culture," the long-time fashion publicist stood by her previous comments in an interview with Huffington Post describing West as "really arrogant."

"Anna Wintour, myself, Gisele Bündchen, we're not making rap records. We're not going like, 'We're the most important things to rap since NWA.' It's just like, stop it," Cutrone said.

"So is Kanye West important in the fashion world? Maybe to Kanye. Anna Wintour can put him on the cover of Vogue all day long but is she front row at his fashion show? N to the O, which means no in fashion," she added.

Prior to this, Cutrone gave some details about what to expect from the new cycle of "ANTM," such as "love affairs and fights," "knock-downs and drag-outs," and a "witch named Romeo," who is "first pagan on 'ANTM,'" She Knows has learned.
