What is America’s Next Top Model About?

The hit reality series AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL features Tyra Banks and gives real young women of various backgrounds, shapes and sizes an opportunity to prove that they can make it in the high-stress, high-stakes world of supermodeling.

The reality series exposes the transformation of everyday young women into potentially fierce supermodels, as they face weekly tests that determine who can make the cut. With mentoring by supermodel Tyra Banks and exposure to high-profile fashion-industry gurus, the finalists compete in a highly accelerated modeling boot camp, a crash course to supermodel fame.

Participants are asked to demonstrate both inner and outer beauty as they learn to master complicated catwalks, intense physical fitness, fashion photo shoots and perfect publicity skills, all under 24-hour-a-day surveillance of the AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL cameras that chronicle every move.

Banks leads the panel of AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL judges, comprised of leading fashion industry experts. The panel includes fashion expert André Leon Talley, photographer Nigel Barker and weekly guest judges who will conduct regular evaluations to narrow the field from week to week. Miss J Alexander remains the runway expert/coach and Jay Manuel returns as the creative director and producer of all photo shoots.
