Danmarks Næste Topmodel, cycle 1 was the first Danish adaptation of Tyra Banks' America's Next Top Model. The show was hosted by Caroline Fleming with thirteen contestants competing for the title of Denmark's Next Top Model.

The winner of the competition was Caroline Bader from Nærum. As her prizes, she received a modeling contract with Unique Model Management, a two week all-expenses paid trip to Paris along with a test shoot for Ford Models, the cover and a 10 page spread in Elle Magazine Denmark and the chance to become the face of L'Oreal Paris. At 15 years old, Bader was the youngest winner of the Top Model franchise at the time of her victory, and remained with that status until the following year, when Laura Giurcanu became the youngest Top Model winner after winning the second cycle of the Romanian adaptation at the age of 14. Giurcanu remains the youngest Top Model winner to date.

The girls get their first runway lesson, and fashion expert and mentor Uffe Buchard is extremely disappointed. In the girls' first challenge, they must walk the runway in three different outfits.

The girls then feature in a Femme Fatale inspired photo shoot, where they must pose while walking through rain, and pose for the photographer. At the panel Serina, Caroline, Brinette and Elise impress the judges, whilst Emma, Sofia and Laila are critiqued by the judges.

Episode 3

First aired October 6, 2010

The girls got their makeovers, which caused mixed feelings between contestants. While most of the girls felt excited, a few of the girls did not like their new hair. Elise upset Stephanie by telling her that her hair looked like a wig. For this week's challenge the girls had to be in a fashion show for Birger Christensen, a high-profile furrier, where they had to model fur coats while showing off their new looks. Stephanie won the challenge, and a fur stole. For the photoshoot this week, the girls had to pose in a bed with two male models, while wearing nothing but a white shirt and panties. At judging, most of the girls got praise for their photos, while their attitudes during the makeover were being discussed. While Caroline received praise for being able to pose sexy despite her age, Elise was called out for being mean towards Stephanie. At the end, Serina and Astrid were at the bottom two, Serina for not showing enough passion, and Astrid for being rude at the makeover and always making excuses. At the end, Astrid was eliminated.
