August 18 – December 5, 2014
The 21st cycle of America's Next Top Model (subtitled as America's Next Top Model: Guys & Girls) premiered on August 18, 2014 and it is the 15th season to air on The CW. It was the 2nd season in a row to feature both male and female contestants. Tyra Banks and Kelly Cutrone retained their positions on the judging panel. Runway coach J. Alexander returned to the judging panel, replacing former judge Rob Evans while Johnny Wujek, creative director since Cycle 19, was succeeded by photographer Yu Tsai. In keeping with the last two cycles, social media is a factor in eliminations, with public voting taking place on the show's official page. In contrast to seasons past, the fade out for the series was illustrated by Irish artist Vincent Devine. This is the first time the fade out photo has been illustrated by an artist.
The semifinalists were revealed on the America's Next Top Model Instagram page while the fourteen finalists were revealed when voting began. The international destination for this cycle was Seoul, South Korea. Five of the episodes were filmed in Seoul, one of which featured James of Royal Pirates, and the finale had guest appearances from K-pop girl group 2NE1, boy band BTOB, actor and model Lee Soo-hyuk and fashion designer Lie Sang Bong.
The winner was 26-year-old Keith Carlos from Bridgeport, Connecticut, the show's first ever male winner.
Eighth-placing finalist Mirjana Puhar was shot and killed on February 24, 2015 in her boyfriend's home in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Returning prizes include: a modeling contract with NEXT Model Management, a spread in Nylon magazine, and a US $100,000 campaign with Guess
