The contestants for Cycle 22 of "America's Next Top Model" hit the green carpet for the first time last night, where we got a look at the 14 finalists vying for the win for the third season featuring both men and women.
The group partied it up inside Greystone Manor for the bash -- which was sponsored by OPPO smartphones and NYLON -- alongside Tyra Banks, J. Alexander, Sophie Simmons, Shaun Ross, Jonathan Bennett and a group of former contestants.
Sporting her new pixie cut and a skin-tight red dress, Banks looked incredible on the carpet -- proving she can still smize with the best of 'em.
Cycle 4 winner Naima Mora looked gorgeous as ever inside the party, where we also caught up with Cycle 2's April Wilkner, Cycle 2 finalist Mercedes Scelba-Shorte and more recent contestant Hannah Kat Jones.

We're told Banks made a speech during the party, talking about how she broke stereotypes in the modeling business as a "colored model with curves" -- and promised the Cycle 22 contestants will do the same.
The new season kicks off August 4 on the CW -- check out the trailer below.
