" America&amp;#039;s next top model won&amp;#039;t be predicted by a reality show\u00A0this year. Instead, she&amp;#039;ll be scientifically proven in a lab. Yahoo Style reports that\u00A0academics have created a formula to predict which models will take the fashion world by storm.\u00A0 Researchers at Indiana University crunched the numbers from a directory of 400 fashion models; they factored in data from last fall about hair color, eye color, height, measurements, dress size, shoe size, modeling agency\u00A0and runways walked. After plugging in those numbers, they also took to Instagram, figuring out how many followers, likes\u00A0and posts each model had.\u00A0 And it turns out that Instagram is just as important as a modeling agency. The higher the number of likes, comments\u00A0and posts, the more likely the model would be more successful during Fashion Week. (Success, in this case, meant number of runways walked.) Modeling agencies were still important, as was height; each additional inch in height doubled the model&amp;#039;s chances of booking a show. Disappointingly, larger hip, dress\u00A0and shoe sizes decreased a model&amp;#039;s chance of success.  The researchers tested their predictions during the Fall\u00A02015 season by narrowing down models considered &amp;quot;New Faces&amp;quot; in the directory. (That way, past experience wouldn&amp;#039;t affect their chances of getting hired.) They predicted eight models from the list would be successful, and six turned out to be true during the March shows. Here are the six scientifically proven models who are on the rise:  1) Sofia Tesmenitskaya           Sofia Tenenbaum?
