MEET THE MODELS: America's Next Top Model Cycle 16 Part 1

The CW released a first look photo of the new cast for AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL Cycle 16! The series returns Wednesday, Feb. 23 at 8 p.m. ET. (Manila date and time yet to be announced)

Pictured above, from left: Dominique, Kasia, Brittani, Monique, Mikaela, Angelia, Hannah, Dalya, Nicole, Sara, Alexandria, Ondrei, Jaclyn and Molly.

On first look, it's a pretty diverse group. We noticed that most of the models are 23 or younger. But, there is a 26-year-old in the bunch: Kasia. Get ready to hear the "this is my last chance" stories.

The fourteen women will compete once again for the "high fashion" package of a contract with IMG Models, a fashion spread in Vogue Italia and a spread and cover of Beauty in Vogue, plus a $100,000 contract with CoverGirl Cosmetics.

Host Tyra Banks, Vogue fashion editor Andre Leon Taley, photographer Nigel Barker, photo shoot creative director Jay Manuel and runway trainer Miss J Alexander will be joined by this Cycle's "high fashion" guest judges, including expecting mom, stylist Rachel Zoe, Sudanese model and actress Alek Wek, Vogue Italia editor-in-chief Franca Sozzani, and costume designer/stylist for Gossip Girl, Eric Daman.

 

Here are the chosen models for Cycle 16. This is just the part 1 of the list:

                                                             Alexandria - 21 years old

                                                           Angelia - 20 years old
