Nicole Fox is an American artist and fashion model, best known as the winner of Cycle 13 of America’s Next Top Model.

Nicole Fox graduated from Monarch High School. As of 2009, she is a Sophomore student at University of Colorado at Boulder majoring in studio arts. She wanted to be an artist, journalist and model.

Fox was selected as one of the 14 finalists to compete in the thirteenth cycle of America’s Next Top Model, which was especially created for petite models who are 5’7″ and under, where she stood exactly 5’7″, the maximum height for the entry. A couple of months before Nicole tried out for the show, she met a photographer in Denver at an art gallery. He encouraged her to try out for the show because he knew Allison Harvard of Cycle 12 who is also an artist like Nicole. With his encouragement, she got up the courage to try out for America’s Next Top Model.

Throughout the competition, Fox won two reward challenges and three top photos. Despite her shy and awkward personality, she never placed below fifth and received three first call-outs with no appearances in the bottom two or three. At the final judging, Fox was lauded for her high-fashion photographs and her successful mastery of her body proportion, in spite of her unconventional runway walk in the fashion show. In the end, she was chosen as the winner of America’s Next Top Model, beating runner-up Laura Kirkpatrick, who was considered another favorite of the judges. Kirkpatrick said she believed Fox won because of the strength of her photos: “Every time with the judges, she could do no wrong in front of them. They really saw her as perfect.”
