Bianca Golden, is an African American fashion model. She is best known for being a contestant of America's Next Top Model, Cycle 9, where she was one of the final four contestants of the show. She attended Hillcrest High School in Queens New York.

Participation in America's Next Top Model

Golden was the second contestant selected to be part of the finalists. At the beginning of the competition she was better known for her strong personality, clashing with Ebony Morgan, Lisa Jackson, Saleisha Stowers, Chantal Jones and Heather Kuzmich (whom she was perceived as a bully towards) over the first three weeks, than her portfolio, landing in the bottom two at the second panel. She revealed that she had a fear of heights, which handicapped her in the second and fourth photoshoots as well as the eighth challenge. She was supposed to get a long blonde weave as a make-over but due to her hair being too damaged she had to go bald, a look that was praised amongst fandom.

After being criticized repeatedly, she studied fashion magazines to learn how to "smile with her eyes" and managed to impress the judges on her fifth photoshoot where she portrayed recycled oil. She was one of the six contestants to go to China and won the go-see challenge. Despite a heartfelt speech about her improvement despite her lack of natural model potential, she was sent home, giving a teary farewell interview that redeemed her in the fans' eyes..
