[edit] Modeling career
Stewart competed on the first season of America's Next Top Model. She and fellow contestant Robbyne Manning caused controversy when they refused to pose nude for one of the photoshoots because of their Christian faith. However, this did not hinder Stewart's progression in the competition as she ended up being first runner-up to Elyse and evential winner Adrianne Curry. She was known on the show as the very "commercial and apple-pie girl". She openly voiced her disagreement with gay lifestyles in episode 4, when an openly-gay housemate wanted to invite her girlfriend over.
Stewart continued to model, and signed with Ford Models in Chicago and Major Model Management.
She has modeled for Nuj Novakhett, ELLEgirl Magazine, Teen Vogue, Sydney Magazine, Six Degrees Magazine. Shannon has graced the cover of Arizona Foothills Magazine, and Sound & Vision Magazine. Her runway shows include: Richard Tyler, Alice and Olivia Fall 2006, Sprite Street Couture 2006, and ELLEgirl presents Dare To Be You: Wal-Mart Meets America's Next Top Models 2005, Fashion Institute of Technology 2006 (see [1], [2],
