Do you ever wake up at night in a cold sweat and immediately need to know exactly where the cast of America's Next Top Model is? It's truly a "Where In the World Is Carmen San Diego" situation, only completely different and ft. an unfortunate lack of red trench coats.

The good news: Most America's Next Top Model cast members appear to be doing well, despite what we can all agree was a harrowing reality television experience. And a bunch of them are actually successful models, so guess all of Tyra's lessons on smizing and, like, randomly posing in "nests," paid off!

The better news: Almost all of them are public on Instagram—with notable exceptions, including Teyona Anderson, Jade Cole, Tiffany Richardson, and the Babin twins.

The best news: We morphed into amateur detectives (waiting for the FBI to recruit us any moment now), figured out what everyone's up to, and are bringing you an incredibly important update on almost all of America's Next Top Model's winners—plus some runners-up and fan faves.

Check out the status updates of 40 faves—including Adrianne Curry, YaYa DaCosta, Kim Stoltz, and Winnie Harlow. (That's right, Winnie Harlow started her career on America's Next Top Model. If you didn't know, you do now!)

Adrianne Curry: Cycle 1 (Winner!)

After becoming ANTM's first official winner, Adrienne went on to star in other ~Very Important Reality Shows~ including (but not limited to) My Fair Brady—an iconically titled show with her then-boyfriend Christopher Knight. Sadly their whole...thing...didn't end well, but Adrianne went on to marry voice actor Matthew Rhode— and now lives in Montana where she sells Avon!

Shannon Stewart: Cycle 1 (Runner-Up!)

Shannon took a 10-year break from modeling (completely understandable given the vibes of Cycle 1), but has recently returned to her original dream of making it ~on top~. She currently lives in Raleigh with her husband, and is a public speaker at churches.

As one of the (if not THE) most successful model alums from the franchise, Eva Marcille went on to star in Tyler Perry's House of Payne, Sistas, Real Housewives of Atlanta, and The Young and The Restless—for which she earned two NAACP Image Award nominations for Outstanding Actress in a Daytime Drama Series.

Eva has a daughter from a relationship with singer Kevin McCall, and she recently split from her husband Michael Sterling—with whom she shares two kids.
