Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model Drops Feb. 16 on Netflix and We Can’t Wait!
I can remember it like it was yesterday. Planning my entire schedule around Wednesday night’s for my must see TV: America’s Next Top Model. Me and my girls would gather around the television, and gag at all the crazy challenges the ladies would have to face (and how panelists like Ms. Jay, Mr. Jay, Tyra, and Nigel Barker would react)!

Now, over a decade later, Netflix is bringing all that good 2000’s nostalgia back with Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model, premiering February 16th.

ANTM shaped an entire generation’s understanding of modeling. It gave us high fashion moments, iconic hairstyles, and popcorn worthy drama. While some things were obviously titillating and shocking, looking back, we now know that many many things (switching ethnicities, anyone?) simply wouldn’t fly in today’s cultural climate.

The new docuseries digs into the uncomfortable moments—the critiques that felt too harsh, the editing choices that reshaped narratives, the emotional toll the competition took on young women who were often just 18 or 19 years old. Former contestants speak candidly about body image pressures, controversial challenges, and the blurred line between mentorship and manufactured drama. Some participants embrace the reflection. Others have publicly criticized the project, questioning whether the industry has truly learned from its past.

What makes this documentary timely is not just nostalgia—it’s accountability. In 2003, reality TV was still the wild west. Social media didn’t exist the way it does now. There was no instant public discourse. Today, audiences demand transparency. They want to know what happened behind the scenes. They want context. They want growth.

At the same time, let’s not rewrite history without acknowledging impact. ANTM opened doors. It introduced viewers to diversity in modeling at a time when fashion magazines were far less inclusive. It put plus-size contestants, LGBTQ+ contestants, and women from different backgrounds on prime-time television. For many women watching, including myself, that visibility mattered.

Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model feels less like a takedown and more like a reckoning—a moment to examine how far we’ve come in fashion, media, and representation, and how far we still need to go. Whether you were obsessed with the makeovers, lived for the runway challenges, or questioned the judging panel’s decisions every week, this series invites us to look back with a sharper lens.
And if there’s one thing fashion has always done well, it’s evolve. February 16th might just remind us that growth, even when messy, is still progress.

Sneaker Edit – Julia Berolzheimer
Simonetta Ravizza Jacket (similar here and here), Lisa Yang Sweater, Kujten Scarf, Ossou Jeans, Gucci Sneakers, Dior Sunglasses
Sneakers continue to define the modern wardrobe, and for Spring / Summer 2026 the focus is clear: expressive palettes, the rise of the ballerina silhouette, and true investment pairs. Proportions sit lower. Soles appear slimmer. Finishes feel elevated. The result is a lineup that feels current without feeling temporary.
Expressive Palettes
This season embraces nuanced tones. Powdered blue. Washed rose. Bright red. Kelly green. Creamy neutrals. The shades feel layered and deliberate adding depth and character. These are sneakers selected for presence.
The Ballerina Silhouette
The ballerina-inspired sneaker is one of the most directional shapes right now. The construction often feels supple, the sole more delicate, the overall impression polished. It introduces a fresh perspective within the sneaker category: modern, feminine, and highly wearable.
Investment Sneakers
Investment sneakers are defined by premium leather, rich suede, precise construction, and balanced lines. They are designed with longevity in mind. The appeal is straightforward: enduring materials, a strong form, and a finish that improves with wear. These are the pairs that remain in rotation year after year, and an easy addition to count on in your wardrobe.

Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Jersey Vest
This post may contain affiliate links and Corporette® may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
I’m still not totally confident that I can pull off a vest at work, but I’ve been seeing so many folks wearing them that it’s making me feel a little braver. As a preliminary step, I’m leaning towards wearing something like this jersey vest from H&M as a shell under a blazer. I think it would look great with this polka dot skirt for a fun, spring-y vibe, but I’d be happy to hear other suggestions!
The vest is $24.99 at H&M and comes in sizes XS-XL.

A chic raincoat like this one from Caron Callahan is just what I need for spring.
The brand is new to me, but I love the subtle cool-girl flair to a lot of their pieces. For example, I love the stand collar, the unusual patch pocket on the chest, and the general oversized vibe. The model may even be wearing a blazer beneath… love! (I think I need to add this brand to our roundups on dramatic blazers as well as suits for creatives!)
The coat is $625, available in the pictured pink as well as a brown check, in sizes XS-XL.
