ANTM Champ Slams VS Show Casting
21 Oct
Summary
- Adrianne Curry criticized Victoria's Secret casting choices.
- She cited trans model and Kylie Jenner as examples.
- Curry feels the show lost its elite status and standards.
Adrianne Curry, the inaugural winner of America's Next Top Model, has voiced strong disapproval regarding the casting for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Curry, who now works as an Avon representative, stated during a recent YouTube broadcast that the brand has lost its former standards.
She expressed that the inclusion of trans model Alex Consani and reality star Kylie Jenner in the 2026 show indicates a decline in the event's exclusivity. Curry claimed that models who previously would have been considered top-tier for Victoria's Secret were overlooked in favor of these individuals.
Curry, 44, believes that Victoria's Secret prior to 2008 represented the pinnacle of modeling, featuring renowned figures like Naomi Campbell. She contrasted this with the current approach, where she perceives anyone can be cast, diminishing the show's elite status.
Following backlash, Curry later clarified her remarks in follow-up videos, emphasizing her view that individuals should be recognized for their specific attributes rather than being mislabeled. She stated that while she doesn't consider Kylie Jenner unattractive, she does not possess a model's physique, asserting that the profession has become overly accessible.
