Browse throughout Playboy history with our video and gallery of July Playmates from the last decade: Shanna McLaughlin (Miss July 2010), Jessa Lynn Hinton (Miss July 2011), Shelby Chesnes (Miss July 2012), Alyssa Arcè (Miss July 2013), Emily Agnes (Miss July 2014), Kayla Rae Reid (Miss July 2015), Dana Taylor (Miss July 2017), Valeria Lakhina (Miss July 2018), and Teela LaRoux (Miss July 2019). For Kayla, calling the month of July hers means the world, and there couldn’t be a better fit. “Just call me the sunshine chick,” she laughs, “I’m always chasing the sun, so this is perfect! It’s also my birthday month, so from the beginning, I prayed to be Miss July.” For Dana Taylor, saying yes to being a Playmate was a no-brainer. “Your body is your body. I’m Lithuanian-American, and in my family, you would never be ashamed of your body,” she says of posing nude. “When I found out I was shooting for Playboy, I was home in Chicago visiting my family. I ran downstairs and told my dad first. You’d think that’d be weird, but he’s a photographer, so we were both like, ‘hell yeah!’” Get to know all the women who hold the title of Miss July more intimately, right here on Playboy Plus!
