America's Next Top Model Where Are They Now Season 1

America's Next Top Model Season 1: From Runway to... Where?!

Remember America's Next Top Model? The show that gave us smizing, Tyra Mail, and the burning question: "What were they thinking with that photoshoot?" Let's dive into the real deal – where are the ladies from the very first season now?

The Winner: Adrianne Curry

Adrianne Curry took home the crown, the Sephora contract, and a whole lot of expectations. Post-ANTM, she navigated reality TV, including "The Surreal Life" and "My Fair Brady" with then-husband Christopher Knight (aka Peter Brady!).

She's since become a successful entrepreneur, delving into a completely different world: cosplay! Adrianne designs and sells her incredible creations, and looks stunning while doing it.

The Runners-Up and Fan Faves

Shannon Stewart, the runner-up, has kept a lower profile compared to Adrianne, but remained in the public eye, and looks incredible!

Remember the quirky and artistic Elyse Sewell? She marched to the beat of her own drum on the show, and she continues to do so! She's lived abroad in various countries and is still an artist.

The Ones We Didn't See Coming

Giselle Samson has maintained a consistent presence on social media, often sharing her love for photography and her beautiful family. She still has the beautiful smile that made her stand out on the show.

Ebony Haith went on to work as an esthetician and makeup artist. She provides makeup tips on her socials, and looks beautiful while doing it!

So, What's the Real Story?

It's fascinating to see how life unfolded for these women. Some stayed in the spotlight, others chose a quieter path, and some even embraced entirely new careers. Think about it – these women were just kids!

The pressures of instant fame and the modeling industry can be intense. It’s great to see so many of them thriving, regardless of whether they became supermodels or not.

Lessons Learned (and Smized!)

ANTM Season 1 taught us a few things. First, walking like a duck isn't always a bad thing (thanks, Miss Jay!).

Most importantly, it showed us that success isn't a one-size-fits-all deal. Whether they're slaying the cosplay scene, rocking the mom life, or pursuing their passions far from the runway, these ladies are all winners in their own right.

Plus, it's a good reminder that even if Tyra Banks tells you to "be on top," the best view might be from wherever you're happiest. And that's something worth smizing about.

What about the others?

Many models moved into different areas, like acting, business and social media influence.

While they didn't reach superstar status, the show was still a good launching pad into future opportunities.
