Meet the Scholarly Ladies of America's Next Top Model: College Edition

It's that time again: time for another round of Tyra Banks's reality series America's Next Top Model.

It's that time again: time for another round of Tyra Banks's reality series America's Next Top Model. The upcoming edition isn't just any old cycle — this time it's college edition. Given that the contestants on regular seasons are generally between 18 and 24 years old anyway, I assume this just means the contestants need to at least have been registered for college somewhere at some point. Take a look at all the model hopefuls before season 19 starts this week, and feel free to judge them based on their favorite movie choices. I'm rooting for the Zombieland fan.

Get ready to smize your eyes out: P'Trique and Tyra Banks's new commercial for the 19th season of America's Next Top Model is, to borrow a hashtag from the viral video maven, #totesamaze. In the short clip, Tyra and P'Trique discuss options for the show, throwing out a baby-themed edition of ANTM because Banks feels like she's "seen that before." When Banks remarks, "It's like my baby is all grown up and has gone off to college," the idea for the university-themed season hits her. A look at Banks's moment of realization below.

ANTM's All-Star Winner on How to Look Better in Pictures

"Dream Come True is a perfect depiction of the way I feel," Lisa D'Amato says of the America's Next Top Model fragrance, which she represents.


"Dream Come True is a perfect depiction of the way I feel," Lisa D'Amato says of the America's Next Top Model fragrance, which she represents. "It's so fresh and flirty and fun — and it's sophisticated as well. Those are all things that are a great depiction of an ANTM girl." Lisa should know; after appearing in Cycle 5, she recently returned to win the all-star season. Along with starring in the ad campaign for Dream Come True, she's about to appear in Vogue Italia and a campaign for Express. Busy woman.

While Lisa is known for her bold personality, she says the fragrance is anything but brash. "You'd think that a scent I'm representing would be like that," she admits. "But at the end of the day, I'm still a girl, and I want to smell pretty and soft and feminine." In this case that means a fruity floral with notes of red currant, sugar, and peony.

Like many models, Lisa's beauty advice is simple: drink lots of water and slather on sunscreen. And if you're hoping to seem more fierce in your next Facebook photo, Lisa has a quick tip for looking better in pictures. "One thing that I tell my friends all the time is to shape with the body," she says. "You can always pop the hip out or put an elbow out, or lift one shoulder. Just make it seem more fun." (And though it should go without saying, don't forget to smile.)
