She’s Got the Look is an original reality series which premiered on June 4, 2008 with six back-to-back episodes on TV Land. According to the TV Land website, twenty women compete to become the next great supermodel 35 years or older. Hosted by iconic supermodel Kim Alexis, She’s Got the Look sets out to give one woman a second chance at a modeling career. Celebrity judges Beverly Johnson, Robert Verdi and Sean Patterson dwindle down the cast of twenty until they find the one who has ‘the look.’ The winner receives a lucrative modeling contract with the world famous Wilhelmina Models, Inc and a photo spread for Self.
TV Land’s nationwide search, which included months of online submissions, auditions and regional competitions in Los Angeles, Atlanta and New York City resulted in flying twenty contenders to New York. These semi-finalists were put to the test of expressing themselves and their fashion know-how. Ten finalists were then selected to live in a loft and compete in challenges such as photo shoots, runway competitions and tests on their fashion sense. At the conclusion of the competition, one woman is crowned the ultimate winner.
