There’s no denying that
America’s Next Top Model is one of
the OG reality television shows, as well as ushering in a slew of
fashion-centric series. We’ve seen supermodels and stars made from the
show, and we’re fairly certain smizing levels spiked after Tyra Banks
shed light on the age-old modeling technique. This is why we’re sad to
announce that the show is coming to an end after twenty-two unbelievable
cycles.
Tyra shared the unfortunate news in an
Instagram post yesterday afternoon, stating
“Our
die hard fans know we’ve expanded the definition of beauty, presented
what “flawsome” is, tooched and booched and boom boom boomed, shown the
world how to show their neck, rocked couture/catalogue/commercial poses,
have found our (and your) light, strutted countless runways, gone on
tons of go-sees, added guys to the girls mix, and have traveled around
the globe and back again. Yeah, it’s time. It really is. Wow, I am SO
proud of what Top Model has done.”
ANTM has been a go-to for all of us high-fashion loving women and it
really shed light on what it takes to actually make it in the modeling
industry. Your “look” is just one of many factors that determines what
it takes to make it to the top—with poise, grace, being articulate, and
professionalism also weighing heavily on a model’s success.
It also broke down the barriers of diversity with models of all
shapes and sizes, and some who were transgender. We’ll never forget Miss
Jay storming the catwalk and teaching the newcomers how it’s done, Jay
Manuel looking flawless on every single episode, and the slew of guest
judges that kept it exciting.
This is truly a big loss for television and the fashion industry, but
we know Tyra has many things up and on her sleeves. We can’t wait to
see what she does next.
What do you think of ANTM ending after 22 cycles?
