Contestants receive makeovers, and have to take photos in sometimes rough conditions — one cycle, they had to walk inside big clear balls on water. Some of the show's big names, including judges and competition winners, have gone on to have careers in the spotlight, while others have faded away from the public eye. Here's where cast-members of ANTM have been since their time on the show. The show's host is certainly the biggest name from the "America's Next Top Model" franchise.
Banks has also taken on a behind-the-scenes role with "Top Model," becoming an executive producer on the show. She released her own cosmetics brand in , called Tyra Beauty. Banks has pursued higher education as well, taking classes at Harvard Business School , and becoming a guest lecturer at Stanford University. Viewers will remember supermodel Dickinson from her sharp critiques of model contestants while she was a judge.
Eventually, Banks fired her. On her firing, Dickinson said: " I was just telling the truth and I was saving these girls from going out there and being told that they're too short, too fat, their skin's not good enough. Dickinson continued her reality television fame with appearances on "I'm A Celebrity Drew," "," and "Celebrity Big Brother.
Dickinson has written three memoirs , and is married to Dr. Robert Gerner. She has two children from previous relationships. Dickinson, in , revealed that she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Alexander or Miss J — was a modeling coach, and later a judge, on ANTM from its beginning until , and then back in , then left again two cycles later.
Alexander was in 's "Operation Fabulous," which was a makeover television show. DiMarco made ANTM history when he won his season in , being the only deaf contestant and winner of the franchise. When a clip of that scene with Evans was posted on Twitter in and went viral, host Tyra Banks was hit with backlash. She took to social media and addressed "posts about the insensitivity of some past ANTM moments," tweeting , "I agree with you.
White people darkening their skin is a hot-button issue that has led to TV hosts being fired and politicians apologizing for ill-conceived costumes. Yet models in blackface was a phenomenon that took place in America's Next Top Model repeatedly over the years. As Vox pointed out, there were several occasions when models had their skin darkened for photo shoots throughout the show's run.
The first time it occurred, Vox recalled, was in the second cycle, when model Xiomara Frans ' skin was darkened so she could resemble model-singer Grace Jones. A clip from the episode showed host Tyra Banks seemingly missing how offensive the whole thing was when she complained that Frans' reluctance to participate in the shoot was because "ethnic women never want to be darker. Another blackface incident took place in the 13th cycle, when red-headed, pale-skinned model Nicole Fox's skin was darkened for a photo shoot in which the models were all meant to be biracial.
Alexander, Jay Manuel, and Nigel Barker. According to a report by Page Six , the "ugly firings" were the result of a planned shift for the upcoming season, with a "show insider" telling Page Six that ANTM would be putting a greater emphasis on social media.
Executive producer Ken Mok addressed the dismissal of the trio in a statement. Alexander have been an integral part of the America's Next Top Model brand and they helped turn this show into the household name it is today," he said, declaring they had been "amazing assets to the show. Barker, however, insisted there were no hard feelings, telling E! News that it "wasn't a shock" that he was let go, insisting it was "a network thing" to axe him.
As the show evolved in its early seasons, Dickinson ultimately parted ways with the show. After five cycles, Twiggy also exited , with "scheduling conflicts" said to be the reason. While Twiggy never confirmed whether she had quit or been fired, that wasn't the case with her successor.
She candidly told Ferguson, "I'm looking for a job. Producers of America's Next Top Model could be forgiven for wanting to shake things up in the show's 18th cycle, although there's no denying that the ensuing shakeup was ill-conceived. Cycle 18 featured the infamous "British Invasion" edition, which pitted seven wannabe American models against seven fan-favorite contestants from the show's U. Notably, the "British Invasion" season featured publicist Kelly Cutrone behind the judges' table. Tensions between Cutrone and British model Louise Watts simmered and then boiled over when the two clashed over Watts' running on the set.
When Cutrone lit into her during a judging session, Watts decided she'd had enough and stormed out. Alexander, aka Miss J, and nothing was ever the same. Destination: London, United Kingdom. Honestly, this season had a decent amount of drama for how low it's ranked.
Bre terrorized Nicole for allegedly eating her cereal bars. Cassandra, after being the recipient of one of Tyra's many disastrous failed attempts at giving one of her girls a pixie cut, decided to go home instead of letting them take another inch. Lisa, who'd later go on to win the All-Star season by default , had an episode dedicated to her special brand of bizarre — " The Girl Who Loves Bubbles.
Alexander was bumped back down to runway coach after a couple of seasons as judge. Who replaced him? Destination: Auckland and Queenstown, New Zealand. What charity did we all do in our past lives to deserve such a divine creature?
The man wears a range of capes throughout his four-cycle stint as a judge. He uses words like "dreckitude. He's the best member of a reality show judging panel since Michael Kors exhaled his first "underwhelmed" sigh on Project Runway 's first season. Cycle 14 may not be a classic, but it introduced the show's late-series saving grace.
For that, we can only be grateful. Which model judge you prefer is kind of a coin toss. The choice is Paulina, if only for how very much Tyra hated her. Cycle 10 is fine, but that's about the best that could be said about it. It's most notable for far-and-away frontrunner Katarzyna losing to constant bottom two dweller Whitney. Katarzyna got fifth.
Whitney won the cycle. Still, Whitney went on to be fairly successful after the show, so who's to begrudge the judges' decision? A mild, fine cycle. Destination: Shanghai and Beijing, China. The most memorable models from this season were Heather and Bianca, both for their awful people and communication skills. Biance was just a villain. Destination: Paris, France. Ah, Cycle 1.
They did another show called My Fair Brady Oh, and Ebony, the show's first lesbian model, wasn't so much a "villain" as passionate about herself. When two of the other girls avoided meeting Ebony's girlfriend, preferring to stay in their rooms and read the Bible which is a scene that may never happen on reality TV today , she called them out on it. Funny that what made her a "villain" then would likely make her a fan favorite now. Destination: Milan, Italy.
He didn't take it well. Destination: Syndey, Australia. Renee was the villain, but Brittany was the most annoying. Anyone who has ever had a weave will have negative sympathy for Brittany's inability to handle or take care of hers.
But the worst Brittany moment happens during the go-sees, when Brittany and Natasha realize they've returned too late to be eligible to win the prize. Destination: Barcelona, Spain. Melrose is perhaps the greatest love-her-or-hate-her contestant in series history.
Was she a beautiful, impressive model? Or was she all of these things while also carrying around an ego the size of Spain? Even a strong winner in CariDee couldn't overcome the lasting impact Melrose had on the cycle.
Kelly Cutrone? Destination: Hong Kong, China. The whole theme of this season was that the British were coming, but the truth is the British models were much better.
