Nicole Arianna Fox (born March 6, 1991) is an American-French model and actress, best known as the winner of Cycle 13 of America's Next Top Model.
Fox graduated from Monarch High School. As of 2009, she was 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, a cycle that was specially created for models who are 5'7" and under. Fox stood at 5'7", the maximum height for the entry. A couple of months before Fox tried out for the show, she met a photographer at an art gallery in Denver. He encouraged her to try out for the show because he knew Allison Harvard of Cycle 12 was also an artist like Fox. 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 (just like McKey Sullivan) and was one of the strongest girls of her cycle, which was undeniably a source of talk among Fox's competitors. 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. Fox became the third winner to have never appeared in the bottom two. This record was preceded by winners Jaslene Gonzalez and McKey Sullivan, and was succeeded by Krista White, Sophie Sumner, Jourdan Miller and India Gants. Fox became the first America's Next Top Model winner to have also never even appeared in the bottom three.
