Eva Marcille, winner of Cycle 3 of America’s Next Top Model and current star of looked stunning as she walked the red carpet at the 40th Annual NAACP Image Awards on February 12.
Eva’s gorgeous gown was made by Lebanese designer Jean Fares and her jewelry was by Damiani. Eva was the first person to ever wear one of Jean Fares’s creations on the Hollywood red carpet! That’s pretty special and I’m sure Fares will be pleased with how Eva pulled it off.
Her fiance, Lance Gross, was also at the ceremony, but they walked the red carpet separately, only posing for a few photos together at the end.

It was a bittersweet night for the couple, as Lance’s show took home its award. Eva lost to Debbi Morgan who stars in , but I’m sure she wasn’t too disappointed. Debbi strongly deserved the award and there will many times in the future Eva will be honored. You can see a complete list of winners here.
The Tyra Banks Show lost to The View for “Outstanding Daytime Talk Show and America’s Next Top Model lost to American Idol for “Outstanding Reality Series.”
She’s breath taking. Eva has to be the only Top model winner that doesn’t end up trashy after the show, Including Yaya. I’m still a fan of both.
I love her dress. She looks gorgeous in it.
Dani is not trashy and she was a winner as well.
Eva is wearing a Jean Fares Couture gown, a new Lebanese designer, and Damiani diamond earrings. She did look stunning!
ummm…it’s not 1956 and this isn’t Jim Crow. We’re no longer “colored”.I know what NAACP stands for and CP has stood for “colored people” only because that has been it’s name forever
