#17: Saleisha Stowers, 2007
Saleisha Stowers won Cycle 9 in 2007 with a polished, commercial look the judges clearly loved. From the start, she photographed clean and controlled, rarely delivering a truly weak shot. Her signature bowl cut became part of her identity, making her instantly recognizable throughout the season.

Her win sparked debate among fans, but within the competition, she stayed consistent. The title secured her CoverGirl campaign and representation, and it opened doors beyond modeling — particularly in entertainment, where her confidence translated easily to screen work.
