Early life

Lindsey Gayle Evans (later known as Elle Evans) was born on December 9, 1989, in Paris, Texas, and grew up in Blanchard, Louisiana.[4] She studied at Northwood High School and attended Northwestern State University, where she majored in broadcast journalism.[5] [6] [7]

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.[6]

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.[8] Her pictorial was photographed by Stephen Wayda.

Evans is represented by United Talent Agency as well as Wilhelmina Models in Miami, Florida. Elle is managed by 3 Arts Entertainment and represented commercially by Agency for the Performing Arts. In 2013, she appeared bare-breasted in Robin Thicke's music video for his single "Blurred Lines", featuring Pharrell Williams. The music video generated over 600 million views and made the "Texas-born model part of a pop culture phenomenon."[11] Shortly after that, Evans was cast in two of Beyoncé's music videos: "Haunted" and "Superpower".[12] Both videos were directed by Jonas Akerlund in 2013.[13]

The black-and-white series of 6-foot-tall diptychs and 12-foot-tall triptychs was "to capture beauty in its most vulnerable state",[16] and was on view at the ACE Gallery in Beverly Hills from March 2013 to April 2013.[17]

Then in September 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.[19]

That same year, Evans was cast in a Wet 'n Wild cosmetics commercial shot by director David LaChapelle titled "Steal the Look",[20] in addition to landing two national ads for Mary Kay Cosmetics which aired during the premiere of the thirteenth season of Project Runway on Lifetime in November 2014.[21]

In 2015, Evans appeared in another music video, this time for the band Muse and their single, "Mercy". The video was directed by Sing J Lee and was released in June.[22]
