Top Model International: All-Stars (cycle 2)

***Top Model International: All-Stars, Cycle 2*** featured 10 contestants from previous cycles of the show. The finalists for all-stars were revealed a month after the finale of cycle 12 aired. This was the first all-stars to feature a returning contestant who was eliminated first, that being Sienna Snell from cycle 2.

Supermodel Lena Kiefer was announced as the host of All-Stars, a week prior to the finalists announcement. Due to Vera Jung's busy schedule and her already hosting ***Top Model International***. She will return for the show's ninth cycle, but will not be hosting future all-stars seasons.

The winner of this cycle was 21 year-old Lydia Jordan who previously competed on Cycle 10, placing 5th. Lydia is the first winner of *All-Stars* to be from North America ( Aruba) and currently is the winner who placed the lowest in her former season.

## Prizes

The prizes for this cycle of all-stars consisted of:

* A 5-year modeling contract with IMG Models New York
* A worldwide campaign and position as a spokesperson for Maybelline New York
* A cover and six-page spread in *Vogue Italia*
* A cover and feature in *Glamour*
* A cash prize of USD $250,000 in the winning model's currency

## Format

The prizes for All-Stars included another magazine cover, a spokesperson opportunity, more money and a longer modeling contract. Additionally, as opposed to a call-out order each week the show followed a format based on *RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars*. There will be two winners for each best photo, one wins the photo battle and one loses. The winner of the photo battle gets to eliminate one of the contestants who are up for elimination.

Host Lena Kiefer and the judges decide on the top two, and the bottom two or three of each battle. However, who is eliminated is decided by the winner of the photo battle.
