Xiomara Frans was a contestant on Cycle 2 of ANTM.
Xiomara was born in New York City, where she was brought up by her Cuban mother and Curacaoian father in Morganville, New Jersey. She attended Fairleigh Dickinson University, where she majored in communications and theater. In 1999, she became a semifinalist for the Ford Supermodel of the Year Competition. Xioamara is also an accomplished fencer, and was a Junior Olympic Epee fencer in New York City. Among Xiomara’s favorites are Dolce & Gabbana Feminine and foods like ropa vieja and lechon asado.
As a finalist for America’s Next Top Model, Cycle 2, Xiomara showed a lot of potential during the first few challenges in the show, but come the fifth week, was eliminated when her photos from the underwater photo shoot failed to impress the judges. Her walk was also criticized, having done so with her eyes unconventionally “bugging out.” Despite not being able to captivate the judges for a long time, her great personality and kindness won the hearts of the other girls in the finals.
Since the show, Xiomara signed with Boss Models and has also appeared in the New York Post Latino Issue.

LOVED Xiomara! I hate that she was eliminated cos she can’t open her eyes underwater! Cos apparently you don’t have potential as a model without that ability! Does anyone see like a black/latina version of Elizabeth Berkley (Jesse from Saved by the Bell)?

Always looked petrifying.

IMO, she looks amazing. So strong and feminine. I love the photo of her in the hooded top and leotard (the magazine cover).

I really enjoyed watching her. I did feel that her attitude towards turning into Grace Jones was despicable considering that it was a down right honor. She did at least produce an amazing picture. I thought she was one of the kindest and genuine person in the house and I wish her nothing but the best.
