What Do the Past Winners of America’s Next Top Model Look Like Today?

Adrianne Curry won the very first cycle of America’s Next Top Model in 2003, setting the tone for the franchise. She stood out for her edgy look, sarcastic humor, and undeniable presence in photos. Her CoverGirl contract and Wilhelmina deal marked the start of the ANTM prize machine.

Winning made her instantly recognizable, but it also came with pressure. As the show’s first champion, she became the blueprint for future winners. Her post-show experience was publicly complicated, and she later spoke openly about feeling unsupported after the finale hype faded.
