The Alabama native affectionally dubbed “Bama Barbie” by fans became one of the most talked about contestants of summer 2025, with her romance with Nic Vansteenbeghe finishing the series as runners-up and continuing off-screen.

Since leaving the villa, Carthen has swiftly transitioned into the fashion and media space. She walked at New York Fashion Week for Serigo Hudson, turned heads at Paris Fashion Week, and landed major magazine covers both solo and alongside Vansteenberghe. Her growing presence has also been spotlighted by top fashion publications.

A Tuskegee University graduate, Carthen’s accolades include honors from Ebony, Harvard, WIB, Revolt, and Ad Age – signaling a multi-hyphenate trajectory well beyond reality TV.
