Re: ANTM: I only started watching back episodes of this show recently
Model Winners: Where Are They Now?
NAIMA MORA, 21
After ANTM: The Detroit-born former waitress modeled for Wal-Mart and designer Christopher Deane at New York's recent Fashion Week, filmed an appearance on UPN's Veronica Mars and handed out trophies at the Sept. 18 Emmys. (Best part? "Meeting William Shatner!" she says.)
Current Gig: Touring with former ANTM hopefuls to promote the upcoming season – not that she gets recognized often. "I don't have that mohawk anymore," she says, "so people are like, 'You look very familiar!' "
EVA PIGFORD, 19
After ANTM: Eva ("the diva") landed a Cover Girl contract, a runway gig for designer Marc Bouwer and a recurring role on UPN's Kevin Hill. She has also filmed roles in the movies Crossover and Premium, and modeled for Wal-Mart during New York Fashion Week.
Current Gig: Touring, like Naima, to promote the new season of ANTM. "Living under a microscope takes adjusting to, and you're always on," the L.A. native recently told Essence.
YOANNA HOUSE, 25
After ANTM: The Jacksonville, Fla., native, who dropped 60 lbs. before the show, posed in Jane magazine and modeled for designer Sue Wong (left). Her biggest challenge? Heels. "I'm a Converse, Birkenstock girl," House says.
Current Gig: Hosting the Style Network's The Look for Less and inspiring fans. "In L.A., I ordered coffee from a teenage girl, and she started to cry," House has said. "She said I gave her hope, because she was a little chubby."
ADRIANNE CURRY, 23
After ANTM: "I was supposed to get a Revlon contract, but that fell through," the Joliet, Ill., native griped early this year. "We trusted Tyra, but we've all been screwed over." She met boyfriend Christopher Knight last year on VH1's Surreal Life.
Current Gig: Living with Knight, 47, in L.A. and starring in the VH1 reality series My Fair Brady. She'll also appear on the ABC sitcom Hot Properties and in ads for custom-motorcycle shop Beverly Hills Choppers.
Nicole Linkletter, winner of season 5
She has contracts with agencies in Singapore, Tokyo, and Hong Kong; has done Elle and Ellegirl, has modeled for Secret, Vigoss, Sele, Travata, and Yank (among several others), and has done runway shows including Alice and Olivia, Bebe, and Rozae Nichols.
Like Naima, Nicole has served as a judge for pageants like Miss USA 2006, like Eva has appeared on The Tyra Banks Show (of course), and like many Top Model winners has hosted awards shows and done entertainment news bits such as E!’s pre-Oscar show and VH1’s “Fashion Week” reports.
Danielle Evans, winner of season 6
Danielle has also gotten her share of work, appearing on covers and in magazine spreads and interviews (such as PowerPlay, Elle, Ellegirl, Jewel, Seventeen, and the New York Post!); doing the much-talked-about CoverGirl commercial with Queen Latifah, and working the Fashion Week shows such as those of Baby Phat and Zang Toi.
CariDee English, winner of season 7
The most recent Top Model winner has yet to get a great number of deals and gigs under her modeling belt, if you will, but has contracted (as part of her prize winnings) with Cover Girl and Ford, has already graced the covers of such popular magazines as Seventeen (and likely Elle, though I found no news on this, yet), and has been interviewed for her classic and comical CariDee style by TV Guide. She looks forward to more gigs, to talking with Tyra (maybe even on her show?), and to getting the wished-for opportunity to model, act, and even rap opposite Josh Harnett, Johnny Depp, and Eminem.
