Joy Corrigan Bio
Joy Corrigan is an American glamour model, fashion designer, entrepreneur, and actress. She was born Joy Elizabeth Corrigan on January 16, 1988, in Raleigh, North Carolina. Playboy named her its February 2017 Playmate at 29. Her appearance came during Playboy's contemporary era of international and digital publishing.
Corrigan has natural breasts, blue eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 34-24-34.
Joy Corrigan was scouted at a mall at 14 and soon booked her first fashion show, an early break that eventually led to representation with Marilyn Agency in New York. Her modeling career expanded across fashion, swimwear and beauty, with work for brands including Guess, Victoria’s Secret, Urban Decay and Ella Baché, as well as designer names such as Roberto Cavalli, Vivienne Westwood and Jimmy Choo.
Editorial assignments gave Corrigan an equally international profile. Rankin photographed her for Hunger magazine in 2016, and her later magazine work included GQ, Marie Claire Arabia and a 2018 cover for Maxim France. She also pursued Sports Illustrated Swimsuit opportunities over several years, participating in casting calls in 2015, 2016 and 2018 and being photographed for Sports Illustrated in Miami in 2017.
Her Playboy pictorial arrived amid that crossover between fashion and American glamour. The feature drew on the athletic confidence already familiar from her swim and lingerie work while placing her in a more intimate editorial setting. Corrigan’s broader modeling record continued to include runway appearances such as Miami Swim Week alongside commercial campaigns and magazine shoots.
Acting provided another professional outlet. Corrigan appeared as Shelly in Aftermath, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, followed by a role in Reprisal with Bruce Willis in 2018. She later appeared in the 2022 television series Super Pumped, adding screen credits to work that had previously been dominated by fashion and photography.
In 2019, Corrigan co-founded the clothing company Naked Species with her sister Gina Corrigan Smith. The brand incorporated her interest in design with an environmental component, donating part of its profits to the Wild Life Tomorrow Fund to support wildlife conservation. Outside fashion and acting, Corrigan also holds a black belt in Tang Soo Do, giving her athletic background a discipline considerably different from the runway training that first made her widely visible.
