Yaya DaCosta, runner up in Cycle 3 of America’s Next Top Model was photographed at the San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain yesterday. Her new film Honeydripper, starring Danny Glover and Charles S. Dutton is one of those 1950′s juke joint flicks.

Although I think I’ve seen enough 1950′s juke joint movies, it’s great to see an ANTM alum using her “fame” for something other than showing up at parties and posing in smutty magazines. Good for her.

  • NoWAY

    She is a cool chick. Good for her and she is beautiful and down to earth.

    i loved her on antm, she was very classy and didnt run off crying like a little punk because she didnt win. some of these other chics all they did was cry, like they never had anyone say no to them. man up somebody has to win and somebody has to lose. spoiled ass chics.

  • moxpoe1

    she was/is the only contestant that ever had any real modeling and acting talent, so I’m not surprised. Plus she had real smarts.

    Good for her and hope to see her in a lot more stuff.

    @creole princess she was in the noxezema commerical. Ironic because she was the one complaining about he skin. She looks good I agree she does seem to be trying to land soemthignother than pin up modeling jobs. eva trys but not hard enough. I would like to see her do more as well.

  • Sandy

    at least she looks like she’s been eating

  • MISS KEEN

    YA YA HANDS DOWN WAS ONE OF THE CLASSIEST CHICKS TO EVER GRACE ANTM. I ALREADY KNEW SHE WOULD DO WELL.

  • The Real Essence 1

    Ya Ya was very regal in her mannerisms & her speech- of all the ANTM girls she & Bree where my faves!

    Where is Bree these day’s & what’s up w/ Eva & Daneille’s careers? I think I saw Danny in an Essence catalog & I hope that was not her.

  • Sarah

    She’s a natural beauty

  • strawberry

    yaya was cool on antm do your thang girl!!!!!!!!!!!

  • helpfull

    yaya ya wasn’t in a noxema commercial, it was for neutrogena. i was thinking it was good too b/c they did talk about how she needed to work on her skin on ANTM. She also is in Garnier Neutrisse commercial. She was in a movie with Antonio Banderas about kids dancing. She’s also on another commercial, but I can’t remember what it is for. She’s doin’ her thing! Go YAYA!

  • Maya

    I like Yaya, she was mad cool on ANTM, She was in Chingy’s video, too, don’t forget!! Glad to see she’s doin her thang…

  • b

    gorgeously …nuff said

  • mzc2u

    YaYa is really cute and intelligent, I’m glad to see that she is doing more than just modeling jobs, unlike some of the other models in male magazines!

  • Roni

    Still can’t stand this arrogant, pizza-faced girl!

  • http://whoseamerica.blogspot.com daria

    I hate this girl’s attitude. At the end of the day, Eva’s stank attitude is better than hers. Glad they’re both working because other ANTM people aren’t

  • AND…

    I’m so glad. I liked yaya. Her attitude could use some adjusting though. Hell so could mine. Oh well.

  • Black Friday

    YAYA IS GORGEOUS…

  • Beautiful Blue Eyed Angel

    Yaya is beautiful!..And I’ve seen her the most out of all the winners except Yohanna… But Yaya has such versatility!

    LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Oh, I almost forgot….

    Happy Birthday to me!!!

  • Hello

    Yaya is cool and keeps it real (meaning, knows who she is and where she’s going) not keeping it ghetto, just real and classic!

  • Sheena

    That chick is amazing. Not only is she a beauty, but she has the brains too. Not some airhead model, but someone who’d have something to say at an interview. Still think it’s crazy how she got a bad rep for her attitude, when it was Eva that most of the girls that season didn’t really like. Oh well, she’s working and that is all that matters!

  • Rico

    I always loved Yaya !!! She was the epitome of black beauty and class !!! Intelligent,articulate, Ivy League educated and talented !!! I just saw her in an Olay commercial the other night !!! Keep workin’ it Yaya !!! *Does anyone know what Nic is up to these days ???

  • T

    I like Yaya’s, she’s just natural…

  • camcam781

    I WANTED HER TO WIN SO BAD! LUV HER..SMART AND BEAUTIFUL!!

  • SayIt

    NICE 2 SEE HER WORKIN, BUT I HOPE SHE GOT RID OF THAT STANK ATTITUDE, CUZ THAT COULD DEFINITELY HOLD HER BACK.

    HUMBLE PIE, HUMBLE PIE!

  • dana
