Here's What Sal Stowers From America's Next Top Model Is Doing Now

But all of this work caused some controversy. There were discussions over whether Sal Stowers was eligible to win the title of America's Next Top Model. The reason: the show's rules stated that contestants couldn't appear as a model in a national campaign within the last five years (via the Chicago Tribune). Ultimately, it was decided that her appearance on the Wendy's commercial wasn't considered modeling, and Stowers was able to compete on the show.

Since winning the title of America's Next Top Model, Stowers has done very well for herself. She signed with Elite Model Management and L.A. Model Management and appeared on the cover of Seventeen magazine along with a six-page fashion spread as part of her "ANTM" win (per The Seattle Times). But it was in 2013 that the model made the segue into acting, and appeared on the daytime soap opera "All My Children." Fast forward two years later, and Stowers joined the cast of "Days of Our Lives" as a regular. She plays the character Lani Price, who first appeared as a police officer at the Salem Police Department (via Days of Our Lives Fandom).

If you look at Stowers' Instagram feed, you'll see that the model turned actress is into fashion — and fitness. She also posts images of her work with World Vision USA (she recently completed a half-marathon in support of the organization). It seems like Stowers is taking life one "day" at a time.
