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

Naima Mora won Cycle 4 in 2005 with a calm intensity that slowly took over the competition.

By the time she walked the final runway in South Africa, she looked completely in control.

Her win marked a shift from underdog to undeniable frontrunner. The exposure pushed her straight into fashion campaigns and magazine work, and she quickly became associated with a cool, high-fashion edge. For a moment, it felt like ANTM had produced a true editorial model.
