Tyra Banks Proud: 5 of America’s Next Top Models That Made Her Big

At the height of the glamor era, when the number of sequins on dresses and the sheen of mother-of-pearl on the lips reached their peak, the television program “America’s Next Top Model” appeared on the television screens, which affected the entire younger generation. girls and went down in history as a cult.

We are almost sure that every second reader of this material tries to smile with his eyes (as bequeathed by the unique Tyra Banks), to litter the apartment hallway without anyone looking, and to arrange crazy photo shoots at home. And the career of a model, in principle, has become a blue dream that almost all young girls want to realize.

For 24 seasons, 325 young and very bright girls (and even boys) participated in the show, but not everyone was able to reach the Olympus of the modeling business. Today, December 4th, on the occasion of the birthday of “America’s Next Top Model” permanent host Tyra Banks, we decided to commemorate the five top participants in the industry.

Winnie Harlow

Now, many don’t even know that the model with depigmentation has gained full fame thanks to the Tyra Banks show. Winnie Harlow was a participant in the 21st season of America’s Next Top Model, but she didn’t make it to the finale. Shantel (model’s real name) was eliminated from the show at week 12 and finished in sixth place. However, the lack of an award did not prevent her from being a sought-after model. She has posed for Glamor, Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Dazed and Complex, has posed in ad campaigns for Puma, Diesel, Fendi, Victoria’s Secret and Tommy Hilfiger, and has also appeared in shows for LaQuan Smith, Iris Van Herpen, Moschino, Kenzo, Marc. Jacobs and many more luxury brands.

Leila Goldcool

Another model who failed to win the show but managed to break into the real modeling business. Layla Goldcool competed in the 19th season of America’s Next Top Model when she was just 21 years old. By the way, he first tried to get the casting back in 2010 (season 15 of the show), but then the jury did not pick him up. And as it turned out, to no avail. After the 19th season, people from the industry noticed him and started inviting him to shoot. She has appeared in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and V Magazine, has walked in shows for Chanel, Valentino, Givenchy, Calvin Klein, Dior, Burberry and Moschino. You can also see it in advertising campaigns for Zara, Dior and Calvin Klein Jeans.

Allison Harvard

The blonde with very big blue eyes became one of the brightest participants in the history of the show. And by the way, she wasn’t the winner of America’s Next Top Model either. Allison appeared on the show twice in seasons 12 and 17 and finished second on both occasions. By the way, this did not interfere with his career development at all. After the show, Allison signed a contract with Nous Model Management, starring in the most respected glossy publications, including Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. She has also participated in advertising campaigns for Tom Ford, Lancome and Jimmy Choo.

Fatma Said

Fatima is experiencing perhaps the most difficult fate among all the participants in the project. She underwent female genital mutilation at the age of seven and was forced to flee her hometown to the United States five years later, she. In the “America’s Next Top Model” project, Fatima took part in 2008 and nearly reached the final. It was the Tyra Banks show that helped the aspiring model take her first steps to the top of the industry. After that, she participated in the shows of Ralph Lauren, Hermes, Giorgio Armani and Betsey Johnson, and also appeared in advertising campaigns for Becca Cosmetics, BGBG Max Azria, Urban Decay, Herve Leger and Ulta.

Yaya Dacosta

Nearly half a million followers on a banned social network, the role of Whitney Houston in a biopic and contracts with major brands. Yaya Dacosta, participant of the third season of the show “America’s Next Top Model”, made it to the finals and took the honorable second place. But after the end of the project she decided to focus on her acting career. And not in vain. He now has more than 30 movies and TV shows on his account, including “Time”, “Keep the Beat” and “Doctor House”.
