America’s Next Top Model’s New Season Starts Tonight!

America’s Next Top Model’s new season debuts tonight—and everything’s different this time around! “I’m not a person who just gets comfortable,” the show’s host and creator Tyra Banks told InStyle.com at the New York premiere of Cycle 19 this week. “Over the years, there have been so many copies of America’s Next Top Model, and they can’t catch us because we’re a moving target.” This season, the target moved to college—a decision influenced by Banks’s time spent at Harvard Business School—with the cast featuring 13 women from universities across the country. “We tested their IQs [intelligence quotients] and their EQs [emotional quotients], and their IQs are off the charts in terms of the history of Top Model,” said Banks. “These girls are super smart, but they still fight!” And not only are the contenders different, the cast is, too. Banks returns to the judges table with power publicist Kelly Cutrone, as well as newbie Rob Evans, a former boxer and male model, while fashion blogger Bryanboy joins as social media correspondent and Katy Perry’s stylist Johnny Wujek is the photo shoot creative consultant. You can also vote for your favorites, too! Tune in to watch the new era unfold on The CW tonight at 8/7c.

Maria Sharapova loves fashion on and off the court! So when we caught up with the silver-medal Olympic tennis player at the launch of her Sugarpova candy collection earlier this week, we asked her to tell us all about the U.S. Open looks she’s planning for the upcoming championships (August 27th through September 9th). “The process starts so far in advance, just like everything in fashion,” she said. Like the past few years, she has two Nike-created options for the tournament: “I have a day dress that’s a light pink color, and then a darker shade going into the night.” As for her favorite look ever, shown above center, it was inspired by a classic: “It had an Audrey Hepburn headline—it was so sweet!” And we bet it’s extra memorable because she won the Grand Slam title that year, too! Click through to see more of Maria’s best U.S. Open looks. And visit usopen.org to stream her next match!
