It must be tough to dress her for these spreads, given that her right hand is obviously welded to her hip.

The first dress isn't terrible but when the BEST look is a t-shirt and jeans, something's wrong with this(these) picture(s).

Not surprised. Didn't they do the same thing when Salisha (spelling?) won a few years back?

I thought Teyona did so well on the show in most of the "high fashion" pics. She looks a little awkward in these, i.e. not the most photogenic smiler, I suppose. It would be nice if they'd styled these pictures to highlight her best attributes - more physical images where she contorted her body a bit, and maybe more of a modernistic photo shoot. In the modelling world, don't they normally hire somebody who would go well with the theme of the shoot? I don't think Teyona's the type who would fit boring Seventeen fashion photos like this. I'd love to see her in some weird post-industrial angular pics.

When did Seventeen covers become a day-glo nightmare with two many words in too large of a font taking over pics of infantalized actresses/singers. Can I blame Atoosa? I remember Seventeen having great covers in the 90s when I subscribed (with actual models!). I would never have bought the magazine when I 13 if it looked like that.

WANT the shoes in the diet coke tee pic. Also, cannot believe I ever read Seventeen and coveted the clothing therein. This stuff is pretty horrific.

If you cropped her from the neck down those inside pages would be fantastic.

I'm not entirely sure Seventeen knows what "hourglass" means. I'm pretty sure I'd look like a floral box in that second dress.

the spread itself maybe boring, but I think she looks cute. Why does every comment have to refer to the fact that everyone thinks Allison was robbed? As I remember Teyona was consistently good throughout the season. Give the girl some sort of credit, geesh.

@DionneFonzie: Nobody is saying Teyona is ugly or anything. She's just not anything spectacular or stand-outy, whereas Allison was. And it was obvious in the show that Tyra was biased towards Teyona, at least imo. Teyona is a pretty woman, but not model material. It requires more.

@DionneFonzie: I see two. That's hardly every, and not really enough to get all up in arms about, IMHO. And comparisons are sort-of inevitable.

Personally, I like Teyona, but I think these pictures are all pretty terrible. Everything's just wrong about them - the styling, the colors which look awkward with the background, the poses, the fact that she only has two expressions... it's just not good.

Peasant skirts, so not ever going to happen:

Not cool in the 80's.

Not catching on as stupid dresses now.

Her laughter in the final picture is because that jumpsuit looks like it was designed and sewn by clown prostitutes on acid.

She's a cute girl. But I am concerned about the styling...why not stick with the bangs vs the middle part that brings so much focus to her forehead...just very odd
