America’s Next Top Model alum and Southern Charm breakout star Molly O’Connell is weighing in on a question every ANTM fan has debated: Who had the best portfolio of all time?
In true Molly fashion, her answer wasn’t simple. “This question is too hard! LOL. So many good ones!! So many cycles,” she said—relatable, right?
But via Instagram Stories Q&A, she dropped a list of her all-time favorite portfolios from the series, and it’s a lineup that screams editorial edge and runway-ready talent:
Yoanna House (Cycle 2)
Anya Kop (Cycle 10)
Nicole Fox (Cycle 13)
Mercedes Scelba-Shorte (Cycle 2)
Ann Ward (Cycle 15)
Shandi Sullivan (Cycle 2)
From Yoanna’s timeless face to Nicole’s hauntingly artistic shots, every model on Molly’s list brought something unique to the table. And with three picks from Cycle 2 alone, it’s clear that season made a major impact on her.
Not surprisingly, all of Molly’s favorites leaned into high fashion—the same lane she’s known for dominating herself. Even during her own run on Cycle 16, Molly stood out for her editorial versatility, sharp bone structure, and the kind of intensity that practically jumped off the page.
Molly may have traded the Top Model house for Charleston drama on Southern Charm, but it’s safe to say her fashion instincts are as strong as ever.
