Natalie Ann Pack is an American fashion model and real estate agent who held the title of Miss California USA 2012. She is also known for competing on America's Next Top Model, Cycle 12.

Early life

Pack was born and raised in Palos Verdes, California. She currently lives in Newport Beach, California and attended the University of California, Irvine, where she was on the Dean's List.

America's Next Top Model

At the age of 19, Pack was selected as a finalist for cycle 12 of America's Next Top Model. During her time in the competition, she won a runway challenge and had two second callouts. She also did not receive a makeover because host Tyra Banks believed she looked modelesque as she was.
Pack was the eighth contestant eliminated from the competition and the first to be eliminated abroad in Sao Paulo, Brazil after a photo shoot where the contestants emulated the late Carmen Miranda. Judges Miss J. Alexander and Fernanda Motta believed that she looked "exhausted" and that "the sparkle was missing" in Pack's photo, despite Pack's insistence that Jay Manuel was complimentary of her photos.
Following her elimination from America's Next Top Model, Pack signed to Ford Models in Los Angeles and is currently signed with NEXT Model Management in Miami. She has modeled for Jockey International and BL!SSS magazine. She has also walked for Billabong and Dona Daneshi. In 2015, she was featured in ads for Guess.
