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 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.
After her stint on America’s Next Top Model, Xiomara received a modeling contract from Hugo Boss.
