Diana Zalewski Biography:

Diana Zalewski is a college student from Garfield, New Jersey. Before she was on America’s Next Top Model, Cycle 8, Diana had no modeling experience, although many had already told her that she was well suited for the modeling industry. Eventually, she and her friend traveled to New York City, and after a few days, Diana was told that she had qualified for the semifinals. As one of the 33 semifinalists, Diana got the opportunity to meet retired supermodel and host Tyra Banks, fashion stylist Jay Manuel and runway coach, J. Alexander.

She made it through the model boot camp and was selected to become one of the 13 finalists of America’s Next Top Model, Cycle 8. Diana was among the plus-sized models, and had tried her best to prove herself. However, during the fifth photo shoot, Diana had a difficult time posing and had received a constant barrage of criticism from Jay Manuel. Ultimately, Diana found herself in the bottom two with Whitney (who was also a plus-sized model), and was then eliminated for her lack of passion.
