The “America’s Next Top Model” judge is expanding her ice cream business, named for her iconic term smize, a portmanteau meaning to smile with your eyes. Banks already had an ice cream truck in Dubai and is now opening a pop-up brick-and-mortar store stateside in Woodley Park, which will be in business from July 19-Sept. 20.
To celebrate the occasion, Banks wore a T-shirt bearing her company name and logo. She paired the shirt with a black blazer, fittingly leaning into the formal business aesthetic as founder of the company. She also wore skin-tight cropped pants which added another casual element to the outfit.

Banks matched the yellow logo on her shirt with a pair of bright sunshine-hued heels. The yellow not only matched her company branding but provided a cheerful tone to the ensemble with a vibrant splash of color. With the classic pump silhouette, the shoes featured a sharp pointed toe, an enclosed back, and a tall narrow heel. The inner side of the shoe left more of the foot exposed than the outer side, creating an eye-catching break in the silhouette.

Banks has worn a wide range of high heels throughout her career in fashion and television. She recently slipped into a pair of black pointed pumps at a Sports Illustrated party in May. The TV personality also showed off a plethora of glamorous look during her tenure as host of “Dancing With the Stars”; she wore shoes ranging from sparkling heeled sandals to beige patent pumps while on the competition series.
