Tuesday, April 21st, 2009 Toccara Jones Makeover: Fab Or Fail? Toccara Jones first made a name for herself as a plus-size competitor on the third season of America’s Next Top Model. Even though she was the seventh person eliminated that season, her bubbly personality, confidence in her body, and stunning looks won her millions of fans – and a successful plus-size modeling career. She’s currently repped by Wilhelmina Models and has done work for Target and Avon, and posed on the cover of King magazine. In 2005 Toccara lost 32 pounds as a contestant on VH1’s Celebrity Boot Camp, knocking her weight down to 173 pounds. By the time she made her second appearance on the flab-to-fab reality show in 2008, she had gained back 14 pounds. But she powered through the rigorous boot camp workouts, and slimmed down to 166 pounds. Most recently, Toccara flaunted her svelte bod in the pages of Italian Vogue, making her the first black plus-sized model to grace the iconic mag’s pages. Do you dig Toccara’s new slender bod, or was her curvier look more luscious? Posted by Kate Spencer at 6:30 am Fab Or Fail? fashion Toccara Jones

Very sexy for a plus size girl.
I LOVE HER!!!i watched her on ANTM which is the best show ever
From one fabulous Jones to Tocarra Jones, girl I love your spirit and style. I’ve been following your career from ANTM, Celebrity Fit Club, Take the Cake, BET’s Spring Break, King Magazine, and your awesome pics in last Summer’s Vogue Italia. Steven Meisel captured you “oh so sexy”. I wish you continued success and hope to meet you one day. Stay down to earth and charasmatic.
She looks so cute in this dress. . . .
I love her she has the personality and the looks of say like a queen latifah. but I am curious to know what her status is …is she like a d list celebrity of what ?
she look’s the same to me
Overweight but she is still nice looking, you can’t say that for most people.
I love pic # 4 of her, she looks soo sweet and sexy!
this girl is soooo annoying…she is such a ghetto diva..she’s vulgar. Her attitude is an embarassment…she should seriously think of hiding herself…(if she can even fit anywhere)…lol..
Toccara is a great role model for everyone! I truly wish she won america’s next top model! She deserves it!
omg wat effing number am i on!!! jeeez
Both, actually. She looks great thinner, of course (incidentally, 5’10″ and 166 puts her at a 23ish BMI–in other words, normal weight), but I loved her heavier, too. She moves well, is confident and has a spirit that translates into her photos. It doesn’t help that the ‘before’ picture of her is not as flattering and that she looks a little tired–kind of an unfair comparison. Is she healthy? Is she happy? That would decide the fab or fail for me.
