America’s Next Top Model finally let male models break into the show. We think it’s long past “about time,” And in honor of Tyra’s groundbreaking move, we have a list of some of the hottest black male models working today.

Shermon Brathwaite

Shermon Braithwaite is from Brooklyn, NY, and attends Medgar Evers College when he’s not lighting up the runway. And get this: back in high school, Shermon considered himself “black, short and ugly”. We wholeheartedly disagree.

Yassine Rahal

Yassine is from Paris via Morocco. Before he made a name for himself, he had a lot of trouble getting established. Modeling agencies told him that he looked “black but not ‘strong'” because he had “a black face but a white body.” We’re not even sure what that means, but we find it hard to believe that he ever had any trouble finding work.
