Australia's Next Top Model Cycle 7 Contestants and First Photoshoot

After a controversial winner’s announcement last cycle, this one is gunning to be a fresher, more high fashion and a spectacular season! Out of all the hundreds who applied, only 20 semi-finalist were chosen and their first destination was Paris, France!!! How awesome can that get??? The American version would only let their girls fly out once they reach the final four – yeah, I know. 

Anyhoo, let’s meet the 20 finalists with their first ever photoshoot – a super high fashion one that is, where girls are wearing couture ensembles at a French Chateau.

As I’ve mentioned on my previous posts about this show, it’s definitely more legit than the American version and 90% of these girls are amazing models.

My personal favorites are Montana, Rachel and Alissandra. After this photoshoot, 4 girls were eliminated and 16 girls remained and will be flown back to Australia to live together in a loft in Sydney.
