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

Lisa D’Amato returned for Cycle 17 — the All Stars season — and won in 2011 after already being a memorable personality from Cycle 5. This time around, she leaned fully into her brand: eccentric, unpredictable, and camera-aware. The cycle focused heavily on branding, music videos, and personality-driven challenges.

Her victory was polarizing, but it fit the season’s tone. Lisa treated the competition like performance art, and the judges rewarded her for understanding the entertainment side of modeling. Winning made her one of the few contestants to return and actually take the crown.
