GNTM 2022 is over, Lou-Anne has won.
But she wasn't the only one who got to cheer on Thursday night.
Sophie won the GNTM Personality Award.
Germany – It was an extraordinary season of "Germany's next top model" (more GNTM news on our topic page).
More than ever, the focus was on diversity.
For the first time since the start of the show, Martina (50) and Lou-Anne (19) were a mother and her daughter in the final, which Lou-Anne ultimately won.

GNTM Finale: Personality Award goes to Sophie
But the Mac campaign and the prize money of 100,000 euros were not the only things up for grabs on Thursday evening (May 26).
As always, viewers could also vote for who gets the personality award for best character.
And at least the winner was surprised.
The GNTM Personality Award went to Sophie.
The former blonde and now brunette could hardly believe it.
When laudator Liana – winner of last season's award – called her name, there was great cheering.
Her fellow campaigners celebrated her, there were hugs and kisses, and the 19-year-old struggled briefly for words on the microphone.

"Got a lot of headwind": Sophie wins the GNTM Personality Award
"I really need to chill," Sophie tried to calm down.
Apparently the mantra worked and she started to speak.
Along with the usual thanks to her fans, she also explained why she's so surprised.
"In the first episode, I never thought that I would win the Personality Award because I had to put up with a lot of opposition," says the student.
The reason for this: At first she was considered a bitch, but then she said she was "exactly the opposite".

Then she also addressed urgent words to the viewers.
"I would ask you not to be too quick to judge people.
Not only me, but also many of my other candidates were very hurt by negative news,” revealed Sophie.

And in the same breath calls for more respectful treatment: "There are so many problems in the world that we as individuals cannot eliminate, but we can all contribute to treating one another with respect." Thunderous applause for the GNTM participant.

Heidi scolds the GNTM candidate – when she gets self-doubt
After the speech, model boss Heidi praised the eloquence of her ex-candidate Sophia.
But the 48-year-old does not always have praise for her participants.
For example, Heidi Klum reprimanded 66-year-old Lieselotte when she thought about giving up – but this should also be understood as a benevolent encouragement.
