The girls will be shorter, but the guest list is decidedly longer. That’s the thumbnail preview of America’s Next Top Model cycle 13, which launches early next month. Tyra Banks has booked 11 guest judges and coaches to assist with the upcoming round, which for the first time will feature 14 finalists 5-foot-7 and under. Here’s a list of their appearance dates:
Chanel Iman, Sep. 9, One of the world’s most in-demand
runway models.
Lauren Conrad, Sep. 16, TV personality best known for The Hills. Debuts her own fashion line this fall.
Jaime Rishar, Sep. 23, Petite print and runway model.
China Chow, Sep. 30, Actress and fashion model.
Josie Maran, Oct. 7, Petite cover girl, recognized as the face of Maybelline.
Jessica White, Oct. 14, Runway model who has also been the face of CoverGirl, Chloe and Gap.
Kim Kardashian, Oct. 21, Reality TV personality, with her own designer clothing store, online shoe company, and (coming soon) her own fragrance.
Jessica Lowndes, Oct. 21, 90210 star will test the contestants’ interviewing skills.
Kirsty Hume, Oct. 28, High-fashion catwalk superstar.
Marisa Miller, Nov. 4, Victoria’s Secret Angel and popular print model.
Ann Shoket, Nov. 11, Editor-in-Chief of Seventeen Magazine.
Most of these beauties will be seated beside Miss J. Alexander to critique the week’s photo challenge and help decide who’s going home. It should add an interesting dimension to the show, mixing an outsider’s unique perspective with votes from Miss J., Tyra and Nigel Barker—the trio often swayed by a girl’s progress (or lack thereof) over the course of the competition. Do you favor the rotating panelist concept?
