Top Model - Eugena Washington

Eugena Washington - 3rd place of America's Next Top Model cycle 7. The first Playmate Playboy from ANTM Alumni. From beginning of the competition in 2006, Eugena stand out with her black unique exotic beauty. Eugena made a strong first impression at casting when she stated that she thought that the girls of cycle 6 were boring. She was the 4th girl selected to be in the final 13. After getting long hair as her makeover, she won the make-up challenge in episode three, but landed in the bottom two the following week because of her weak pictures.

Her photos became better about half way through the cycle but she landed in the bottom two again because Tyra thought she had a condescending attitude. She was praised for her strong improvement in the following weeks, winning a third challenge on flamenco posing, and having a first call-out in episode ten. Her journey finally ended on the first half of the finale, her third bottom two appearance, as the judges felt that Melrose was more consistent. On the show she was known for confronting Melrose quite a few times but stated in a post show interview that they were actually friends and it was selective editing.

After ANTM, Eugena is arguably the most successful contestant in her cycle. She has modeled for Smashbox & Southpole Juniors. She walked for Anthony Franco, Christian Audigier, Kevan Hall, Rami Kashou & Yana K in 2007 and Joseph Domingo, Veronika Jeanvie, Falguni & Shane Peacock, Maggie Barry For Xubaz, Bow & Arrow By Alan Del Rosario, Jenny Han & Pussycat Dolls by Robin Antin (with fellow top model alum Chantal Jones) in 2008. She has also appeared in the music videos for Craig David and Kano's "This is the girl" and B.o.B's "Nothin' on You".

In 2015, She was named Playboy Playmate of the month for December 2015, and later Playmate of the year for 2016.She was the third black model to be so named, the first to be named in Playboy's post-nude era, and first Playmate of the Year after Playboy eliminated its Centerfold. She was the last Playmate of the Year to be announced by Hugh Hefner at the Playboy Mansion. Her longivity in the modeling industry is incredible and she's prove that she's one of the successful model that ANTM produce!
