Remember when you used to rush to sit in front of the TV to catch America’s Next Top Model? In 2004, much of that excitement could be contributed to Eva Marcille, the contestant with whom fans largely had a love-hate relationship. Some may have hated her over-the-top attitude, but there was nothing but love when it came to the aspiring model’s natural beauty and talent which, ultimately, allowed her to win during the third cycle of the show.

Thirteen years later, Eva is still winning. Today the actress, TV host, and fashion model turns 32 and has developed the signature style of a woman who is truly comfortable in her skin. Ditching big hair, body-con trend still dominating Hollywood, Eva traded in skin-tight apparel for flowy maxi dresses throughout most of 2017 and rocked eye-catching waist-length braids to match which brought out her true beauty.

In honor of her birthday, we take a look back at Eva’s best Bohemian beauty moments.
