Celebrity Tyra Banks shows off her Body Type Two (BT2) shape figure/physique while on vacation with 
friend and family including her ex-partner Erik Asla. The full development of her vertebrae 
(posture) and muscles/muscle mass is 
debatable. She is showing obvious signs of skinny fat (cellulite, thin fat, loose skin, saggy skin, crepey skin, normal weight obesity) on no less than her upper thighs, legs, buttocks, stomach, and lower back, meaning she likely has at least a slightly underdeveloped sacrum vertebra as well as a few lumbar vertebrae. Possibly even a thoracic vertebra, or several.
In her younger years, she likely would have been considered a Body Type One (BT1). Science recognizes that one pound of muscle burns six calories daily but one pound of fat/skinny fat only burns two to three calories. Which directly affects metabolism (the more skinny fat and fat, the slower the metabolism). Her mostly developed posture (vertebrae), muscles, and muscle mass across a good deal of her BT2 are clear, an advantage that BT3 and BT4 human bodies (female or male) lack.
Diet, exercise, lifestyle, metabolic rate (BMR), and BMI matter. But so do genes/genetics/DNA. It will be interesting to see how well Tyra Banks manages and maintains her weight and body shape figure/physique as she ages.
