McKey Sullivan

Brittany "McKey" Alvey (née Sullivan; born September 9, 1988) is an American fashion model most notable as the winner of the eleventh cycle of America's Next Top Model.

Early life Sullivan was born to Michael and Gayle Sullivan and has three siblings, Bridgette, Jimmy, and Mikey. She is a graduate of Lake Forest High School and attended Ripon College where she majored in government and chemical biology and was a member of Alpha Delta Pi sorority. She also trains in mixed martial arts with her husband, Sam Alvey. She was known for appearing at the Bristol Renaissance Faire, which inspired her medieval fashion sense.

America's Next Top Model

America's Next Top Model Cycle 11 At the age of 19, Sullivan was the eighth contestant to be selected to participate on the eleventh cycle of America's Next Top Model against thirteen other contestants, ultimately winning the competition. Two other contestants named Brittany (or some variation) also competed in the same Cycle, so whilst Brittany Rubalcaba kept her first name, Sullivan and Brittney (later going by "Sharaun") Brown changed their names for the show. Sullivan chose "McKey" since her Mother was considering naming her McKenzie when she was born and since it was her penname in high school. She appeared on the cover and had a spread in the February 2009 issue of Seventeen magazine as part of her ANTM prize package. She had the cover and a spread in Chicago Scene, June 2009 as well as various advertisements for Forever 21, Rendezvous, Myer, Crabtree and Evelyn and Sass and Bide. She also appeared on the September 2009 issue of Marie Claire modelling Oroton, Fendi and Miu Miu handbags and purses. Sullivan was featured on the Cover Fall 2009 cover and interior fashion spread of Vogue Knitting magazine.
