Nicole Linkletter – Winner of America’s Next Top Model cycle 5. The Cute Girl with Amazing Look That Conquer Fashion Industry! Linkletter was born and raised in Grand Forks, North Dakota, the daughter of Monica and Steve Linkletter. She has two sisters. Linkletter graduated from Grand Forks Red River High School in 2003, and attended the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks and St. Cloud State University in St. Cloud, Minnesota as a marketing major; she is currently attending California State University Northridge.
Linkletter joinedon the UPN reality television show America’s Next Top Model, Cycle 5 after auditioning for the show at the Mall of America and was the tenth girl chosen for the top 13 to compete. In the final judging, the judges selected Linkletter over the runner-up Nik Pace. Tyra Banks said of Linkletter, “She’s got that ‘It’ thing.” Fellow judges Twiggy and Nigel Barker likened Linkletter’s look to that of an “English rose”. Twiggy commented, “She has that magical something that you can’t quite put your finger on. It’s not enough to just be pretty.” Although she had some of the best photos of the whole competition, she often did not receive as much recognition as some of the other contestants because of her seemingly “sour” facade and not breaking from pretty to beautiful in her photos. Her prizes when winning the competition were a contract with Ford Models, a $100,000 contract with CoverGirl, and her photo appearing in a Ford Fusion (Americas) national advert.
Linkletter has appeared in editorials for American and Singaporean Elle, V, American and Malaysian Marie Claire, Nylon Mexico, Elle Girl, Cleo, Women’s Health and Fitness Magazine, and Vanidades. She has appeared in advertising campaigns for Burberry, Bebe, Christian Audigier, Forever 21, Volcom, Covergirl, Secret, Ford Fusion, and Vigoss jeans. In May 2009, she was featured in a spread for Elle Singapore. She appeared on the cover of CLEO Malaysia with two male models for May 2009 Issue. She was also featured in a spread for CLEO Malaysia for June 2009 Issue and a cover and spread in Country and Townhouse Magazine December 2009 in the UK. She has also had a cover and fashion spread for Nylon in Mexico.
Now, Linkletter living with her husband Adam Nathanson and they have two children. She’s retired from modeling but her name still one of the legend in Next Top Model History!
