If you've been keeping up with America's Next Top Model (like I have), you'll know that the show is in its 17th cycle and instead of the usual cast of new-comer, wannabe models, this cycle includes all of the "all stars" of the past cycles.
These America's Next Top Model All Stars battle it out for the spotlight in their latest photo shoot challenge, but the battle isn't between each other -- it's with supermodel Coca Rocha. Photographed by Douglas Friedman, the shoot features Rocha in each capture, along with two of the Top Models, who claw and grab at Rocha in what looks like an attempt to take her place in the model spotlight. (Judging from the photos, I don't think there's a winner.)
If America's Next Top Model is your guilty pleasure, you'll love this set of captures from the hit reality show.
