America’s Next Top Model is back and it looks like it’s going to be bigger and better than ever. With Tyra Banks gone, there’s a whole new panel in place including former X Factor judge Rita Ora, model Ashley Graham, stylist Law Roach and Paper magazine creative director Drew Elliott.
However, executive producer Tyra still makes a brief appearance at the start of the explosive trailer and says she’s looking for a new type of model. “I’m not looking for a traditional model,” Tyra, who recently gave birth, declares. “Rita Ora Asked I’m not looking for a social media model – I’m looking for both.”
The trailer features the aspiring models blubbing, arguing and of course, getting glammed up and strutting their stuff. This 14-episode season – series 23 – will also feature a host of celebrity guests. Amber Rose, Chanel Iman, Tinashe, DJ Khaled, Zendaya and Jason Derulo will all make appearances. The winner will receive a huge $100,000, a commercial feature on behalf of Rimmel London, a fashion spread in Paper magazine and a one-year talent deal with VH1.
