Renee Alway (born April 29, 1986 in Maui, Hawaii) is an American fashion model and the second runner-up of "America's Next Top Model, Cycle 8".

"America's Next Top Model"

Renee Alway was one of the final three contestants on "America's Next Top Model, Cycle 8". She heard about the audition the day before it took place in Chicago, and had been in town to get married. She went to the audition four days after she got married.

On "America's Next Top Model", Alway took some strong photos and it was said that she had the best body proportions for fashion, but was continuously criticized for looking too mature and old. This led to her being eliminated as the season's second runner up in the season finale. She didn't appear in bottom 2 until Episode 13.

Her attitude became a controversy during the show. At the recap episode, the 4th place Dionne Walters said that Renee is fake. After an intervention was staged with the girls by Tyra, Renee realized a bad person could not win the competition, so she decided to change her attitude.

During the go-see challenge in Australia, Alway put her baby's photo in her portfolio, as an attempt to impress the designer who has a new born child. In the final episode where the final three contestants had to shoot for Cover Girl commercial, Alway ad-libbed into a commercial that she thought her life was over when she had her baby nine months earlier, at which Jay stopped her and told her she needed to be positive for the commercial, not negative. Upon hearing Jay's advice, she managed to turn things around and excel at the commercial. Not only did her brilliant performance win the affection of the judges, Alway's picture for Cover Girl cosmetics also garnered her positive comments, as she was described as elegant and sophisticated. Much to her dismay, Alway's fate was sealed because the judges thought she didn't look as young as the other two contestants, and she left.
