After eight years off the air, America's Next Top Model is once again making reality TV fans
obsessed. We've had a juicy Netflix documentary and hints at a 25th cycle. With all that buzz
we had to ask, what are the previous 24 winners doing today
The first Top Model winner was Adrienne Curry, who claimed the title in 2003 and charmed both
the judges and viewers with her fearless attitude. After dominating the competition
Curry was briefly married to the Birdie Bunch alum Christopher Knight. The couple even starred
in their own reality show. Curry now lives in Montana with her husband Matthew Road and sells
Avon products. She recently wrote on X, I am deeply grateful I won the first season of Top Model. I think people psychoyzing it over
20 years later with a woke lens is absurd. After winning the second ANTM cycle, Ioana House signed
with IMG Models, and she has since walked for designers like Sue Wong and advertised for brands
such as Levi's, Sephora, and Macy's before switching her focus to working as a TV host
House has hosted shows like First Coast Living and Queen Bee's. House still models and also
attends Harvard Business School, according to her Instagram. She did not participate in Netflix's
Reality Check documentary, but is in the e-documentary series Dirty Rotten Scandals
Eva, the diva Pigford, now Marcille, defied the odds and won despite her 5'7 frame
Her bold personality took her to the finish line. Marcille has had immense success after
America's Next Top Model, going on to collaborate with CoverGirl and DKNY while also starring in
Tyler Perry's House of Pain, The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and All the Queen's Men. She's done
quite a few interviews since the release of Reality Check on Netflix. Why did you watch it
I watched it to see what I didn't know. Known for her silent strength and commanding beauty, Naima Mora took the Cycle 4 crown
enjoying the fruits of her labor with spreads of Elle, CoverGirl, and Fuego magazine
She walked the runway in New York Fashion Week, and in 2021, she co-wrote and starred in the
off-Broadway play The Amazing Adventures of a Woman in Need. But she also faced some
hardships immediately after her top model win. Mora told Entertainment Weekly, After the show, I gained a lot of weight, and Ford Models was very upset about it
It put a lot of pressure on me, and it was very challenging.
ANTM host Tyra Banks once told Elle Girl that Cycle 5 winner Nicole Linklater had that
it thing, and the brunette beauty went on to model for brands like Bebe and Burberry
while appearing in numerous publications such as Marie Claire and Nylon. She also hosted various VH1 segments and was a casting associate for the 2016 TV series
Life or Dead. Linklater has two children, Theo and Olive, with her husband Adam Nathanson, and frequently
features her family in her social media posts. She won Cycle 6, but Danielle Dani Evans also endured some controversy when the show's
producers insisted she get some dental work On Reality Check Evans pushed back on Banks claim that getting the gap in her teeth closed was necessary for her to work as a model You knew what you were doing for the show You were making good for TV at my expense
After her top model run, Evans modeled for Essence, Ellen, and Style, while appearing in campaigns for Victoria's Secret, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Nordstrom
Carrie D. English stomped her way to the finish line and became one of the show's most
memorable contestants in Cycle 7, going on to model for brands such as JCPenney and Christian
Siriano. English also briefly acted as a spokesperson for the National Psoriasis Foundation
using her public platform to spread awareness about the autoimmune disease. She also hosted
the shows Scarred and Pretty Wicked. Now, she largely spends her time behind the camera
working as a photographer in Los Angeles while also pursuing music. She got eliminated in Cycle 7, but Jasleen Gonzalez re-alditioned for the next one
becoming not only the first to compete in multiple seasons, but also in Cycle 8
She has since modeled in Thailand, Mexico, and South Africa, and has strutted her stuff on the runway for New York Fashion Week

the acting waters. She lives in Maryland with her family, pursuing her art and modeling passions
while showing off her stunning artwork on X. Cycle 14 winner Krista White had auditioned for the
show a whopping 12 times before ultimately being cast. Thankfully, her patience wound up paying
off in spades. White worked with major publications, including Ebony and Seventeen
along with brands like Betsy Johnson, Max Rave, and Nicole Miller. Now, she largely remains out
of the spotlight, but she has started speaking up a bit after the release of Reality Check on Netflix
