A midnight fantasy with anchal joseph
Early life
Joseph was born in New Delhi, India, but her family migrated to Homestead, Florida, when she was six years old. She was nineteen years old when she tried out for America's Next Top Model, Cycle 7, but before that she was working in her hometown as a sales clerk. She had also modelled for Zoom Magazine and French Vogue. Growing up, she was quite insecure and felt unattractive, but when she got into modelling she became more confident.
America's Next Top Model
Joseph was the sixth contestant to be selected to participate on the seventh cycle of America's Next Top Model and was told at casting by host Tyra Banks that she was one of the most physically beautiful contestants to ever participate in the competition. While she was often praised for the quality of her portfolio, her lack of self-confidence was often noted by the judging panel and she was eliminated after refusing to fully participate in a challenge that required her to perform a task while portraying a random emotion (dance aggressively), ranking seventh. Joseph stirred some controversy when she made comments about the fact that people with lighter hair, skin or eyes were perceived as better looking in India, when asked about her blue contacts by Tyra Banks. She was voted CoverGirl of the Week by the viewers during the third and fourth episode.

Joseph has been featured in the pages of Vogue Paris, and ZOOM Magazine and modelled for Show Off Straps for their on-line look book prior to her appearance on America's Next Top Model Cycle 7.
