First ANTM Winner Unrecognizable 20 Years Later
15 Feb
Summary
- Adrianne Curry, the first ANTM winner, now looks different.
- Curry, 43, lives a rural life and embraces aging gracefully.
- She declined participation in a new ANTM documentary.
Adrianne Curry, the inaugural winner of America's Next Top Model in 2003, has transformed significantly over the past two decades. Now 43, Curry has moved away from the spotlight to embrace a more secluded, rural existence with her husband. She has become an advocate for natural aging, encouraging women to reject unrealistic beauty standards and celebrate changes like grey hair.
The series that launched Curry's career, created by Tyra Banks, has recently faced scrutiny. A new generation of viewers has criticized the show for its demanding photoshoots and past controversial challenges. This retrospective look is being explored in a new three-part Netflix documentary.
However, Adrianne Curry has opted not to be featured in the documentary. She expressed on social media that she declined opportunities to analyze the show through a modern, "woke" lens, citing concerns about her words being twisted and a desire to avoid public scrutiny. Curry hopes the other former contestants' statements will not be misrepresented in the upcoming series.
