Where Are America’s Next Top Model Cycle 23 Winners Now?

Since its inception in 2003, ‘America’s Next Top Model’ has kept its essence of scouring fresh talent in aspiring models and providing them with a stage to exhibit it on national television. Everything other than this changed on cycle 23 of the reality show, which aired on December 12, 2016, on VH1 instead of The CW network. The fashion icon and supermodel, Tyra Banks, has dedicated years of her life to creating opportunities for the up-and-coming models.

However, Rita Ora, the famous British singer, took over as the head judge in season 23. Still, Tyra continued to be the executive producer of the show.
