Alice Burdeu (born 27 January 1988) is an Australian fashion model who won the third cycle of the reality television show Australia's Next Top Model.
Burdeu was born in Melbourne, Victoria. Prior to auditioning for Australia's Next Top Model, she worked as a customer service trainee with Telstra.
Burdeu first came to the spotlight as a contestant on third cycle of Australia's Next Top Model. Burdeu's height, looks, and runway walk garnered praise from the judges, especially Alex Perry, however her low body mass index was a source of great concern for the judging panel. Burdeu received some criticism from photographer Jez Smith for her one look wonder in some of her photos and from fellow competitors for the frequency with which she voiced complaints. In a live finale broadcast on 5 June 2007, Burdeu was named winner of the cycle based on votes cast by the judges and by Australia's Next Top Model viewers.
Burdeu's prizes as the winner included a one-year contract with model agency Priscilla's Model Management, a contract to become the face of Napoleon Perdis, an eight-page fashion feature in Vogue Australia, a trip to New York, and a Ford Fiesta XR4. Her campaign photos for Napoleon Perdis were displayed in the makeup artist's stores across Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the guaranteed eight-page editorial, Vogue Australia featured Burdeu on the cover of the magazine—an honor that has not been bestowed on any other Australia's Next Top Model winner.
