For the first time in “America’s Next Top Model” history, Tyra Banks announced that applicants must be 5’7″ and under. After 12 cycles of a minimum height requirement of 5’7″ – matching the industry standard – Banks and the casting director of The CW’s hit reality series AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL are searching the U.S. for females, ages 18 to 27, of diverse backgrounds, shapes, sizes and with a height requirement of 5’7″ and under.
There have been top supermodels in the past that weren’t as tall as the industry demands, like fashion icon Kate Moss,” said Banks. “So we are changing up ‘Top Model’ for cycle 13 and making it a year for the shorter model!”
