Toccara Jones was a contestant during Cycle 3 of ANTM.
Toccara was the eighth contestant eliminated on the third cycle of America’s Next Top Model, where she won “Covergirl of the Week” five times. She was recently voted as one of the most memorable contestants by AOL Entertainment.
She has been on the covers of Be, The Next Level Magazine (November 2005), Black Men magazine, Black Hair magazine, Braids magazine, and King magazine (February/March 2006, March/April 2006, and April 2008). She appeared in the December 2008 issue of Ebony magazine.
Toccara has modeled for Ashley Stewart, Avon, Torrid, New York and Company, Target, Essence magazine, Vibe magazine and Smooth magazine. Her runway shows include Hot 97′s Third Annual Full Frontal Hip hop Fashion Show, Luxe & Romance Fall 2005, BET Presents: Rip The Runway 2, Elle Girl presents Dare To Be You: Wal-Mart Meets America’s Next Top Models 2005 and Alice & Olivia Fall 2006.

Toccara continues to model by participating in BET’s Rip the Runway. At the 2009 Rip the Runway, which was held at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City. She featured several items by designers including: Project Runway’s Korto Momula and Portege.
She was photographed by Steven Meisel for the July, all black issue of Vogue Italia and had a 14-page spread in the magazine. The “Black Issue” featured significant past and current black models in response to the “black out” of black models preventing them from getting hired for print and runway jobs.
She was featured in Cycle 11 as CoverGirl’s Top Model in Action. Since ANTM, Toccara signed with Wilhelmina Models as a plus-size model.

She is a way better model in the real world than in the Top Model world.

I am watching Cycle 3 ANTM reruns for the first time and Toccara you rock! You are the definition of beauty inside and out and you have an enormous spirit and a glow about you that passes through thick, thin, black or white. Just know you have a 52-year-old, curvy white woman out there rooting for you and all your future endeavors. Stay true to you! I look forward to following your career. Be Blessed. Cindy Clifton, a Fan.

Toccara is so on point. If anyone should have been the plus-sized model winner it should have been Tocarra. I’m just saying, Tocarra is on point!

Definitely. Toccara over Whitney all the way.
April 1, 2011 at 5:07 am
I second that. I think Whitney don’t even deserve to win! Shoulda been Toccara!

That naked pic is gross.
August 10, 2011 at 1:50 am
Yes that is gross lol!

I’m sorry, but I never understood the fascination with Toccara. She was never one of my faves (just model-wise) and I do not like most of her pics as well. The nudity pic is indeed gross; still it would be obscene with every other girl being pictured like that as well.

Same here, I didn’t like her and I fully agreed with Janice D.
December 8, 2010 at 10:43 pm
Toccara! You are DIVA all the way. **** the haters, you know they will be there always. I wish you much success on your future endeavours… Make that money honey!

Her Vogue pictures were STUNNING!! MAJOR!! F-A-B-O!!! She did all the curvy girls proud in that spread. I was very, very impressed.
February 2, 2011 at 2:15 am
Loved her! Wow, she was one of the most memorable contestants on this show and won 5 contests! I bet I know why; she possessed an amazing spirit and she was upbeat and honest when necessary. It’s really a shame that people only see her for her waist size instead of the size of her heart.

I agree. If she was in the cycle with whitney, as a plus-size model, she would’ve been the better choice for antm winner as a plus size. Whitney is so FAKE!!!!! You go girl!

Whitney’s runway walk looked awful too.
March 30, 2011 at 1:29 am
If there was going to be ANY plus-size model besides fake a** Whitney, (who I never considered plus sized or to be a good model) to win ANTM it has to be Tocarra. I LOVE this girl like seriously I think she’s just awesome. If Eva didn’t win cycle 3, I would’ve rooted for Tocarra to win all the way.

Best plus-sized model EVER on ANTM. She deserved to win waaaayyy more than Whitney. Her Italian Vogue shoot was TO-DIE-FOR!!! It was like a magazine shot in the 50′s. So classic. To me, it just shows what having the right photographer can do for a model.

Toccara is my favorite girl she’s hot and sexy I loved that girl… way better than Whitney or Alexandra anyway, she had the biggest personality in the industry… but when I saw cycle 3 I kinda laugh veacsue it’s ironic because here they have Toccara whic is very sex bomb and they also had Cassie a very thing girl, so it’s ironic but I loved Toccara. God bless her.

I really like your personality and I thought you were a great model. & u also give me inspiration to become a model ’cause I’m not skinny at all.
July 28, 2011 at 10:26 pm

September 24, 2011 at 5:29 pm
