I always wondered if America's Next Top Model really gives the amateur contestants the exposure they need to get modeling jobs after their reality glory days are over. Judging from these photos, it looks like it does! How credible and desirable the jobs are is a whole different story. The important thing is that they're working, making money, and getting some exposure, right?
CariDee English, winner of Season 7, is busy partying and acting these days. She even made an appearance on Gossip Girl. Nik from Season 5 is working the runways these days, while Season 5 winner Nicole Linkletter is showing off clothes for SoLowStyle.com. Jade from Season 6 is currently the face of Apple Bottom Jeans by Nelly, and the latest winner Jaslene Gonzalez is in ads for Lot 29. Each girl has found her niche in a different place, but one thing they have in common is that they're workin' it.

Good, at least they actally did something after the show was over
1I always wondered what happened to the winners.
2I hated Jade!
3so someone actually hired jade? i thought that woman was so full of herself.
4I know that Eylse from Season 1 is getting tons and tons of work in Hong Kong. She has a Livejournal where she talks about all of her modeling.
I was watching THS of ANTM and the girls were talking about what they do. Anne from season 3 was picked up by I believe Elite as soon as her elimination episode aired. From the same season winner Eva has been getting a lot of work. Also from season 2 winner Yoanna is the host of Styles for Less on the Style network
5I also saw Nik from Season 5 on the cover of Nylon once
6i saw khalen (sp?) from the season where naima won (i get them all mixed up) in an add in vogue about a year ago, but then never saw her again! which is too bad, because i really liked khalen.
i'm glad to see CariDee and Nicole getting work, way to go North Dakota girls!!!
7I always wondered what Nicole was doing... I thought she was soo pretty, yet I never saw her anywhere! Doesn't Jaslene also do some work for Victoria's Secret? I thought I heard that somewhere?
8Jade looks a little worse for wear in that photo.
My husband calls ANTM "America's Next Cute Bartender"
9Naimia (sp?) and Yoanna are in a recent Proactiv commerical. Yaya was in a Verizon commerical. Mercedes was in a Chili's commercial.
10yaya was in a movie abt dancing and chingy's video. i saw yoanna in like a sheer cover or bare minerals commercial. she is very beautiful in the face.
11I saw Naima and Yoanna in an informerical for Sheercover (bare minerals doesnt employ celebs for their products)
Mercedes does tons of commercial work. I have seen her in Payless and HP commercials
12I'm glad those girls are actually doing stuff. I heard that Adrienne was really mad at Tyra because she couldn't get work after she won... I guess she expected that just because she won, she didn't have to worry about booking jobs.
13I think Dani (a.k.a Danielle) has probably been one of the most successful. I actually saw her in a Covergirl ad on TV. I never saw the other girls Covergirl work
14I love this show... yoanna is beautiful.
15Honestly, I usually forget about these girls as soon as the show is over...the only ones who I really loved and really stick out in my mind are Adrienne and CariDee.
I'm so not into this season anymore either.
16Yoanna also does runway work. She and Daniel were my favorite winners.
17Does Yoanna still have her Style Network show "The Look For Less?"
18jade was a good model and she had this exotic look I kind of liked the way she looked as a person that's a different story
19Gal321 - that is where I saw Yoanna and Naima. It wasn't for Proactiv. All those commericals start to seem the same after a while!
20Jaslene Gonzalez is an embarrassment. Girl just can NOT speak! She speaks with an intense Brooklyn(?) accent that tries to escape through a mouth full of mush but can't quite because her enormous horse teeth are in the way. Yuck yuck yuck. My b/f cannot abide her - he actually gets agitated when her commercials come on ANTM! (yes, he's a good boy and tolerates my TV picks!)
21I saw Nik on an episode of Dinner Impossible on Food Network last week.
22Are you sure that's Jaslene from ANTM 8 modeling for Lot 29? It doesn't look like her - the other model looks like she has a narrower nose and a slightly more softer face. Then again, maybe it's a lot of a airbrushing.
23Thats her. She talked about it on one of her commercials
24I'm not sure this is what I would call success, though. I'm surprised they didn't get better jobs afterwards.
25danielle is still a covergirl model and she's the face of another brand, I always see her ads in mags but I'm blank right now what the company is.Eugenia is he face of Akademiks or something like that.
26JADE IS THE HOTTEST ONE...BAD b*tch..HAHAH
27she had sooo many jobs before the show anyways
Yes, that's Jaslene doing Lot 29. It was actually in one of her cover girl spots.
28i'm glad that the winners of Australia's next top model is doing quite well compared to their American counter-parts. There's only 3 but the first one one, Gemma is the face of a lot of brands in Australia and is always in the New York, Paris, Milan shows, etc. The second one just disappeared and the third one, Alice, is also doing high-fashion modelling overseas.
29I wish this season would pick up. It's kinda really boring.
30That's good! I always wondered what happened to them too!
31Nicole is the prettiest one. Jade and Jaslene are both scary. Naima was pretty cute.
32I love that CariDee is acting, I loved seeing her on screen.
33Jade and Jaslene annoy me
34I love CariDee English. She's a mini me of Rebecca Romijin! I haven't watched this season though!
35
I didn't even recognize Jade and Jaslene!
36Jade was also in Jay-Z's "Change Clothes" video, hollaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
37Jade looks rougher than usual....yikes
38Jade's face scares me.
39^Lol!
40yellow/black dress is hot
41i'm happy dannielle got work, i loved her look. i also like caridee,nicole, and yoanna (who is stunningly gorgeous!)
42Does anyone really think Jaslene should have won? Her CG comercials are so irritating and her face always looks like she just sucked on a lemon. I'm not usually too mean about others but, when I saw her on the first episode of her season, I thought she really, and truly looked very drag. My opinion still hasn't changed.
43I agree gig....I didn't think she should have won either. She looks like such a drag queen and has a terrible speaking voice (worse than Dani's). Everytime I see one of those Life of a Covergirl commercials with her in it, I cringe.
44i still wish nik won instead of nicole. i just went to solowstyle.com and the pic of nicole on the main page is awful. i once saw a video on youtube that someone took in a bar and it showed kahlen bartending. she was soooo good that season, i wish she won. i hope she still models.
45i agree gig. i wish britney won that season. i think that was her name...the one who got that awful red weave
46Nik is amazing! I wanted her to win that season so badly! Nicole always annoyed me -- she was such a baby on the show and needed to grow up.
47I've seen Eva, Yaya, Bree, and Dani in a few things. Eva is everywhere and I've seen all of them in Essence magazine quite a bit. I always wondered what happened to Nik. I wanted her to win, but oh well, just glad to hear she's working.
48jade_elephant: I LOVE the international versions of ANTM. They feel more real and a bit less edited. Plus I think their photoshoots are a lot more realistic
49I feel so sorry for Jaslene. We have to fast forward through her commercials. He voice is so terrible.
