Bryiana Noelle Bio
Bryiana Noelle is an American glamour and nude model. Born Bryiana Noelle Flores on July 21, 1991, in Salinas, California, she has also been credited as Bryiana Flores. Playboy named her its September 2013 Playmate at 22. Her appearance came during Playboy's contemporary era of international and digital publishing.
Noelle has natural breasts, brown eyes and black hair. Her measurements are 31-24-32.
Bryiana Noelle arrived at Playboy after spending much of her teenage years competing in beauty pageants. Raised in Northern California, she had already become comfortable with presentation, competition and life in front of an audience before relocating to Los Angeles. By 21, however, she was ready to explore opportunities beyond the pageant circuit and establish herself more seriously as a model.
Her introduction to Playboy came through a chance encounter at a restaurant. A friend of photographer Josh Ryan met Noelle there and suggested that she test for Playmate. She was already familiar with Ryan’s work and immediately accepted the opportunity. The connection soon led to a formal Playboy test and ultimately to Ryan photographing her centerfold.
Noelle approached the Playmate opportunity with a distinctly competitive streak inherited from her pageant years. Rather than regarding selection for the magazine as sufficient on its own, she immediately set herself another target: becoming Playmate of the Year in 2014. She also hoped the exposure would give her opportunities to travel and experience more of the world after her move to Los Angeles.
Beauty competitions remained an important part of Noelle’s professional background. She had competed as Miss California before entering Playboy, giving her experience in a highly structured form of modeling and presentation quite different from the magazine’s editorial environment. That pageant training also helps explain the confidence with which she discussed ambitions that extended well beyond a single pictorial.
Her Playboy centerfold marked a significant transition from regional pageants into national magazine modeling. Noelle embraced that change enthusiastically, presenting herself as ready for whatever assignments might follow while retaining the goal-oriented attitude that had characterized her earlier competitions. Josh Ryan’s pictorial therefore captured her at a particularly transitional moment: newly established in Los Angeles, leaving the teenage pageant circuit behind and beginning to pursue modeling on a broader stage.
