America's Next Top Model names 6'2" Dallas native, Ann Ward, as the winner of the show's 15th season.
Tyra Banks came under fire earlier this year after saying to Ward, "You have the smallest waist in the world. Look at that waist!" Banks said that during a CW promo for ANTM in which judge Miss J Alexander stood behind the model and put his hands around her midsection.
Banks later apologized for the way the promo was edited saying,
"As a leader in celebrating and promoting healthy body image, I must admit that I regrettably didn’t see this clip before it was released to the public. But on behalf of the Top Model team, these were not the intentions, and we truly apologize for any confusion, anger or disappointment it may have caused."
19-year-old Ward receives a $100-thousand contract with Cover Girl cosmetics.

Yup, America's Next Top Model is making history again - last season, the show picked it's first plus size winner, and this season the show will have its first transgendered contestant!
Isis, 22, is a pre-op transgender model who was born a male, but says she was "born in the wrong body" and adds that she's felt like a girl for "as long as [she] can remember." Isis was featured as an extra model for the homeless photo shoot last season, and host and creator Tyra Banks encouraged her to try out for show this season.
The 11th season of the hit reality show premieres on the CW on September 3 at 8 p.m....we can't wait for the fierceness!
