From reshaping fashion critiques to reality TV stardom, explore where Jay Manuel, Molly O’Connell and Ann Ward are today after ANTM.
ANTM alumni have kept the spotlight in different ways since their time on America's Next Top Model. One enduring figure, Jay Manuel, was a staple on the show until stepping away in 2012, shifting into roles behind the scenes and within the industry as fashion's go-to voice.
Molly O’Connell, who finished as a runner-up, has carved out a new path as a reality star on Bravo’s Southern Charm, nearly 15 years after her cycle aired.
Ann Ward, the winner of cycle 15 in 2010, has continued to be part of the fashion conversation in the years that followed, with fans closely watching her post-ANTM journey.
Today, the trio represents the varied routes former contestants take after the cameras turn away: judges and mentors, reality TV personalities, and the designer-adjacent professionals who stay connected to fashion in different ways.
Fans keep interest in these updates, and the stories remind us of the lasting pull of a hit reality show.
