Elle Evans (born Lindsey Gayle Evans on December 9, 1989), is an American model and actress who lives and works in Los Angeles, California. She is most notable for her appearance in Robin Thicke's music video "Blurred Lines" featuring Pharrell Williams.[2] She is also one of the faces of NYX Cosmetics.[3][4]

Early life

Evans was born in Paris, Texas, and grew up in Blanchard, Louisiana. She graduated from Northwood High School in 2008 and attended Northwestern State University, where she majored in broadcast journalism. Evans completed one semester before leaving to travel the world and then going to Los Angeles to embark on a modeling career.

Evans is a former pageant titleholder who held the Miss Louisiana Teen USA 2008. Evans also competed in the Miss Teen USA 2008 pageant, where she was third runner-up. However, she was stripped of her state title after eleven months following her arrest over an incident in a restaurant, where marijuana was found in her purse, and she and three friends were accused of not paying their bill.[5] Immediately after the much publicized arrest, Evans was asked to pose as a centerfold for Playboy. At the age of 19, she became Playboy Playmate of the Month for October 2009 under her full, legal name, Lindsey Gayle Evans.[1] Her pictorial was photographed by Stephen Wayda.

Career

In 2010, MMG cast Evans in a commercial in China. She appeared in the commercial styled to look like Marilyn Monroe.[6] It was shot in Beijing and aired all throughout Shanghai, China.[7]

Evans is represented by Wilhelmina Models[8] as well as Elite Model Management in Miami, Florida. When she appeared in Robin Thicke's music video for his 2013 song "Blurred Lines" featuring Pharrell Williams her career took off. The music video generated over 200 million views and made the "Texas-born model part of a pop culture phenomenon."[9] Shortly after that, Evans was cast in two of Beyoncé's music videos: "Haunted" and "Superpower".[10] Both videos were directed by Jonas Akerlund in 2013.[11]

Evans is one of the faces of NYX Cosmetics, appeared in Kmart's 2013 national ad campaign "Money Can't Buy Style",[12] was featured in Relapse Magazine's 2013 Photo Annual Issue,[13] and starred in an AXE Apollo Cologne commercial that aired during the 2013 MTV Movie Awards.

Evans has also modeled for Samuel Bayer. She was shot fully nude, along with 15 other models, for Bayer's exhibition "Diptychs & Triptychs". The black-and-white series of 6-foot-tall diptychs and 12-foot-tall triptychs was "to capture beauty in its most vulnerable state",[14] and was on view at the ACE Gallery in Beverly Hills from March 2013 to April 2013.[15]

In 2014, Evans guest starred in an episode of Two and a Half Men. She played a character named Cheyenne and the episode aired on February 6, 2014.[16] Also in February 2014, she landed the cover of FHM France and the February 2014 cover of UK magazine Mosh News.[17] In September 2014, she was featured in an issue of Maxim for their "Golden Girl" spread celebrating the 50th anniversary of the film Goldfinger, where she was painted gold from head to toe.[18]

She was also cast in a Wet 'n Wild cosmetics commercial shot by director David La Chapelle titled "Steal the Look",[19] in addition to landing a national ad for Mary Kay Cosmetics which aired during the premiere of the thirteenth season of Project Runway on Lifetime in November 2014.[20]
