Rebecca Hardy (born 1985) is a Canadian fashion model. She was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, and grew up in Mannheim, Ontario. Hardy is the winner of Cycle 2 of reality TV show "Canada's Next Top Model". Before winning the competition, Hardy worked at the JM Schneider meat factory in Kitchener, Ontario.

"Canada's Next Top Model"

Though Hardy was praised for her high-fashion look and impressive portfolio, she occasionally struggled with her confidence during the second cycle of "Canada's Next Top Model". In the end, the judges thought that only one girl can take fashion to another level, and Rebecca Hardy was named Canada's Next Top Model. Hardy never appeared on the bottom two during the competition.

Jay Manuel, host of "CNTM", stated: "Rebecca is the total package! She's got the smarts and the passion to be a bonafide success in this business. I will continue to mentor her beyond the realm of the show. Expect to see her make a splash on the international modelling scene."

I think she definitely will be working and hopefully you guys will like her." During the competition she was praised for her editorial and commercial brillance.

As Canada's Next Top Model, Hardy won a $100,000 beauty contract with Procter & Gamble, a modelling contract with Sutherland Models in Toronto, Canada, and an editorial spread in "FASHION Magazine".

Before "Canada's Next Top Model" Hardy was signed to "Cameo Models" in Waterloo, Ontario. She was named M.A.G Model of the Year 2005, by "M.A.G Canada". Since "CNTM" Hardy has modeled for "Grand Magazine".
