Shannon Stewart

Shannon Niquette Ratliff (née Stewart) (born June 6, 1984) is an American fashion model and beauty pageant contestant from Franklin, Ohio.

Stewart was the runner up on the 1st cycle of America's Next Top Model. She was also first runner-up in the Miss Ohio USA pageant in 2005, and a semi-finalist in that pageant in 2006.

Stewart competed on the first season of America's Next Top Model. She and fellow contestant Robin Manning caused controversy when they refused to pose nude because of their Christian faith. However, this did not hinder Stewart's progression in the competition finishing second overall to Adrianne Curry. She was known on the show as the very "commercial and apple-pie girl".

Stewart continued to model, and signed with Elite Models in Chicago and Major Model Management.

She has modeled for Nuj Novakhett, Elle Girl Magazine, Teen Vogue, Sydney Magazine, Six Degrees Magazine and Ford Fusion. Shannon has appeared on the cover of Arizona Foothills Magazine, and Sound & Vision Magazine. Her runway shows include: Richard Tyler, Alice and Olivia (2006), Sprite Street Couture (2006), and Elle Girl presents Dare To Be You: Wal-Mart Meets America's Next Top Models (2005), Fashion Institute of Technology (2006), Gustavo Arango (2006), Alice Dobson (2006) and Olympus Fashion Week (2006).

In an ANTM Cycle 8 episode, Shannon told the contestants that she had switched over to Elite Model Management in Chicago. She is also signed to Bleu Model Management.
