Tyra Banks was spotted tucking into a cheeseburger in a McDonald's car park in Sydney on Wednesday.

The former America's Next Top Model host, 51, is currently living Down Under as she prepares to open her first ice-cream store, Smize & Dream, in Darling Harbour in March.

The make-up free catwalk superstar whizzed through drive-thru and parked her Honda rental car before getting stuck into the iconic burger. 

Tyra looked deep in thought as she savoured the popular menu item, before getting out of the vehicle to run some errands. 

The fashionista dressed casually for the outing, wearing a black tank top and Smize & Dream branded black track pants.

She added a pair of running shoes to her look.

Tyra looked world's away as she enjoyed the tasty treat and gazed out the window 

Tyra opted to let her genetically blessed looks shine on the day by going make-up free for the outing.

She swept her blonde locks back under a black headband and off her famous visage.

Tyra launched her ice-cream store chain Smize & Dream in Los Angeles in 2020.

It quickly expanded to Washington, D.C, and then Dubai.

Last month, Tyra revealed she's been loving her downtime in Australia. 

She told The Daily Telegraph she and her family enjoy spending their days hanging out at their local shopping centre and partaking in everyday Aussie activities.

Tyra shares son York Banks Asla, nine, with ex-boyfriend Erik Asla. She and the Norwegian photographer welcomed him via gestational surrogate in January 2016.

'We'll get some breakfast in the mall, then we'll go to a Hoyts cinema,' she said.

Tyra stunned McDonald's workers when she sashayed through the drive-thru 

'Get some ice cream at the cinema, see a movie, then we might get a foot massage. We'll have some lunch... Then go to Target or Kmart.'

Tyra added she loves the Australian Kmart. 

Despite walking the runway for luxury fashion houses like Saint Laurent, Chanel and Dior, the supermodel said she thinks the Kmart Down Under is 'fancy'.

She said after a bit of shopping, she and her family will go and do the groceries. 

'We'll do Coles, Woolies, whatever, and so that is a whole day at the mall and we don't do that in America,' she said. 

Tyra explained that 'mall' culture in America is a dying pastime because it's just about shopping for what you 'want' instead of what you 'need'. 

Last month Tyra broke down in tears on an Australian morning show after revealing she lost her Palisades home in one of the Los Angeles wildfires.

Speaking with hosts Natalie Barr and Matt Shirvington during her talk show appearance, she said she previously kept the devastating loss private because she 'didn't want to pull a lot of attention to me.'

'I lost my house. I haven't really talked about it, but yeah, I have,' a teary-eyed Tyra said when asked about the fires, which ravaged Southern California for nearly two weeks.

'I just didn't want to pull a lot of attention to me. I feel like there's a lot of people that need that attention so I haven't talked about it. But I can't sit here and not tell the truth,' she explained.
